Work Out Wednesday Rain Delay

Apr 3

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful—e.e. cummings

As we passed by the park in the rain today, our Sheila couldn't comprehend why we skipped our usual outing. A little whine escaped her lips, showing her disappointment. Yet, amidst the drizzle, one brave owner and his two dogs reveled in the moment, radiating happiness despite the weather. On this rainy Workout Wednesday, the delay turns the routine upside down, but for a dog, it's a transformation into a world of mud-lusciousness and puddle wonder. The term "mud-luscious" paints a picture of post-rain earth, teeming with enticing mud that squishes under paws, filling the air with the fresh scent of life. Puddles aren't seen as obstacles, but as portals to joy and excitement.

"Puddle-wonderful" is equally enchanting. Those little pools of rainwater reflect the sky, inviting dogs to splash and play. It's not just about admiration; it's about immersing in the moment, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life.

From a dog's perspective, this quote urges exploration of the sensations of mud and puddles. Dogs listen to the squelch, feel the texture, and inhale the earthy scent, weaving memories and emotions into the experience.

In a world that's always rushing, e.e. cummings reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us. So let's revel in these moments—they're not just about rain; they're about life, curiosity, and the magic hidden in everyday things.
