Easy going


We are learning to compromise here.  It seems to be the toughest lesson for me, not so much for the male set around here.  They can “whatever” and “sure” pretty much anything.  I love that they have heart.

Decision to be weighed by Copper:
Should I go swimming in the river at the dog park?
Downside: I will be wet and cold.  There will be thousands of burrs on the riverbank that will tangle in my paws.  Also, Shannon will not go with me and it is my dream to be within three meters of her at all times.
Upside: I will swim!!!  Dumb dog Ruby will join me!!!
Swimming prevails.

Decision to be weighed by Nicholas:
Should I fall asleep or lay in bed practicing my new found skill of finger snapping?
Downside: None.
Upside: Things might even out in my abilities and I might strengthen my left hand snap.  I can share joyous noise with people!
Snaps for snaps.

Decision to be weighed by Jeff:
Should I try to sneak in one more trip to Canadian Tire this week.
Downside: I recognize employees and have the floor plan memorized.
Upside: One more trip will make it an even dozen and I can add more Canadian Tire money to the junk hammock between the front seats of the van.
To the Can Tire!

I’m getting better at trusting my swim in the river/finger snap practicing/go to the Can Tire instincts.  Less small stuff sweating and more big picture thinking.  Right now our big picture includes a clean sweep of the basement.  Ugh.  River swimming anyone?
