Ok, But What I Meant Was....!

Sometimes I like to throw little "happy bombs" at people, even when I'm maybe struggling and think others might be too.

Like last weekend, this weekend?  You know, the weekend that just happened.... ahem.... I was walking downtown and saw a guy stopping to let his dog sniff and then pee on a pole.  I smiled to myself thinking about how dogs get and give information with their pees and then smelling the other dogs' pees and so I smiled, made eye contact with the guy and said "your dog's texting all the other dogs eh?!" and I kept walking (which I always do, I'm not trying to interrupt anyone's day just hopefully spread a little happy?)

The guy looked at me rather strangely and in that moment I realized he maybe had no idea about all the articles I've seen online recently about how important "sniff time" is for dogs for their brains and their energy and their... everything and as I kept walking away I thought that maybe this guy is now wondering what on earth that lady was talking about with dogs and phones and texting!

So, I mean, my brain doesn't always come up with things to say that make sense to anyone else but hey, the thought was there and like seriously... it's totally like that dog was sending a text message to a bunch of other dogs who will read it later!  (Get it, get it?)

Ahem.
