Dogs, Cats and Unexpected Moments
Someone sent me the following quote~
"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us." (Ashley Montagu)
It made me think of all the times my cats did something which caught me totally by surprise and made me laugh out loud:
The time I woke up on a cold winter morning to find a then tiny Chloe fast asleep under my armpit.
Watching Kate drag her long feather toy on a stick from one room to another with such a sense of purpose.
How excited Oliver was the first time he stayed in a motel room.
Animals certainly seem to be masters in reminding us not take things so seriously. I , for one, am very grateful for all the much needed reminders.

I think I was excited too the first night I spent at a motel!
I just thought of an unexpected moment with my little dog Sunshine.
Sunshine so loved to go bye-bye in the car. What is the natural instinct that leads dogs to take so much delight in riding in a car?
Sunshine would go in anybody's car. If the door was open, he would hop in.
One day, he hopped into a car and quickly discovered he had hopped into the trunk! You should have seen the expression on his face!
