I have noticed that we dogs have a way of living in the now more than humans. We stop and smell the roses and allow ourselves to be loved. Everyday as I walk through town I notice people rushing around with their eyes glued to their phones instead of looking ahead or at another human. What is happening to society?

I know, I am dog and my philosophical perspective may be very different than a human, but I have a very unique advantage point. Do you know how many times I am around a human who trips over a step, parks their car too close to the curb, forgets to hold the door open for the person behind them? Maybe they are upset at Safeway when there are more than 2 people in line at the pharmacy or if they have to wait to long for a coffee. Humans are in too much of a rush. As dogs we don't rush anything. You never know by rushing what might happen.

Last week my human Tom and I were out for a walk and Tom seemed to be in a rush, but not as in a rush as two ladies at our Post Office. When we got to the Post Office door a woman pushed past us without saying excuse me and proceeded to run into a woman who was about to walk out the door. They ran directly into each other. POW! They hit each other hard enough that the one woman's nose began to bleed. The other woman never said sorry, but said "I'm late!" then left. Tom ran into the office and grabbed some paper-towels for the lady with the bloody nose. She said she was fine, but Tom and I walked her to her car. Tom said he was sorry, then we walked back home and I noticed he walked us a little slower. Why is it that humans usually have to experience something negative to remind them to change a behavior? SLOW DOWN!
