The dog sitter

What was I thinking…?

As any parent will tell you, spring is a crazy, busy time of year. Winter sports are wrapping up and spring sports are starting so of course they overlap, and most of us are being bombarded with info on summer camps. I’m not ready to think about summer camps- I just want to get through this week!

It really has been a zoo of a week. As I drove across town to let my friend’s puppy out, I kept thinking to myself, “why did I say yes?!” I said yes because I know he would do it for me, so I went, and while I drove I was calculating just how long I had to stay.

It is funny how the universe gives you exactly what you need, though often times we speed right by it. Spending one on one time with Maggie away from my home, my work, my life and its demands was exactly what I needed. I just didnt know it. I had my camera, the light was perfect and I had a willing subject to shoot for no one and no reason other than I wanted to. This is why I became a photographer, this is the way I see. This was a great way to spend some time and as a bonus I will have the perfect birthday present for my friend this year!

Who knew what I needed was to play fetch with this sweet girl to catch my breath and remember what’s important.

Thanks Maggie, I needed that!
