Vocabulary … no comments
It is said (somewhere) that dogs have room in their heads for 1000 words. 1000 words that they will understand what I mean when I say them.
Wait is not one of them.
Whatever I say to the dog, the dog interprets it as being Now.
‘Do you want to go for a walk in a minute?’
‘Yes! I want to go for a walk Now!’ pant, pant.
‘Are you almost ready for dinner?’
‘I want to eat Now!’ licking his chops.
Dogs are such be-here-now creatures. They are so in the moment with their experiences. It’s a treat to experience life this way with him, the dog. It’s much harder to do with another person. There is always an agenda with another person. But with the dog, it is really easy to just slip into the Now.
1000 words. Choose them carefully! And don’t waste one on Wait :)
