Tag Along Tuesday with Sheila and Me
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go. —Robert Browning
There's something refreshing about spending a day outdoors, especially when you're accompanied by the pure joy of a furry friend. Today, Sheila and I embarked on an adventure that turned out to be a Tag-a-long Tuesday filled with splashes, trails, and unexpected encounters.
She Met Another Cattle Dog Named Dugan
From the looks of him, I can see that he enjoyed splashing in the streams too!
The morning air was crisp as we set out on our journey. Sheila, with her boundless energy and wagging tail, led the way. Our destination: a series of hidden streams nestled within a sprawling network of trails. These trails, often less traveled, promised the serenity we sought.
As we reached the first stream, Sheila's excitement was contagious. She leapt into the cool water, creating a cascade of droplets that sparkled in the sunlight. I couldn't help but laugh as she frolicked, her playful nature reminding me of the simple pleasures in life. I joined her, letting the refreshing water wash away the stress of the week.
We continued along the winding trails, the path beneath our feet soft and inviting. The canopy above provided a dappled shade, perfect for a leisurely run. Sheila's ears perked up, and I followed her gaze to see a group of deer gracefully crossing our path. It was a moment of pure enchantment, a reminder of nature's wonders.
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe
In that still moment, I caught my breath, feeling the world shrink to the space between us, and in that shared silence, nature's grace wrapped around me like an old, comforting friend.
Sheila pulled at her leash with excitement, her tail wagging furiously as we walked. Every few steps, she'd tug a little harder, as if urging me to pick up the pace, her joy noticeable in the morning air. Though she couldn't dart ahead, she'd pause now and then, looking back at me with eyes that sparkled with adventure, making sure I was still there, still part of this shared journey. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and together we strolled through the miles, hardly noticing the passage of time. In those moments, the world seemed to slow down, each step grounding us in the simple, profound joy of being alive and together.
By the time we made our way back, both of us were happily exhausted. Sheila's fur was damp, her paws muddy, but her spirit was as bright as ever. We sat by the stream, letting the sounds of nature surround us, content in the simplicity of our adventure.
This Tag-a-long Tuesday was a perfect reminder of the joy found in nature's embrace and the special bond shared with a beloved companion. Sheila and I may have splashed in streams and run trails, but what made today unforgettable were the moments of connection and pure, unadulterated happiness.
