Today Chloe and I went to the beach, I threw her stick in the ocean and she ran threw the (small) waves and retrieved it, tail wagging a giant smile on her face (yes I think I know when she’s smiling)! She does it with such ease now I almost forget that it took Chloe 4 YEARS to even put a paw in the ocean! After many failed attempts of trying to get her to like the water, throwing her in, coaxing her out with a treat, carrying her in, Kyle and I had all but given up, and accepted the fact that Chloe was not going to be a water dog.
Until one evening last summer, Kyle threw her stick in the shallow part of the waves and without even skipping a beat she ran in and got it. Needless to say Kyle and I were amazed, was the water warm, does she have a special love for this particular stick, we could not figure it out, but time after time she ran out and got that stick. To this day she loves the beach and yes still loves the water. It made me think, now that the confetti has been cleaned up, chamy has been drank, and new years and those lofty resolutions that were made are a few weeks off, am I running after what I want or am I stalling and allowing time to pass on something I could love because I’m afraid. I admit on some areas I’m running and others my feet are still firmly planted on the sand. The challenge to chase after what I want in all areas.. wet feet and all!
Here’s a photo from Kyle’s Instagram… a favorite of mine!
