DOG DAYS.
Since weâre all home â Iâm working from home full time. My Kids are schooling from home full time, my husbandâs working from home full time, I have caved to my familyâs request to get a dog.
However, leave it to me to do it in a way that doesnât cost anything. Weâve volunteered to be dog foster family for with the rescue agency. Fostering is interesting to me that it changes the way that my family interacts with one another. Itâs beautiful for me to see the the light shine From my family members in interacting with another being. I think of it as my love language.
My âacts of serviceâ love language I found coming out when I sprained my ankle and couldnât do any darn thing for myself. My family really stepped in to help me out that made me see helped me really experience my family as loving me.
And with the dogs, I can see them creating this love for others, right? So theyâre doing service for this for animal. Theyâre taking them for a walk or giving them a bath or feeding them or brushing them. And it looks to me like love. Weâre coordinating together.
âYou do the dishes while I walk the dogâ or âLetâs work together in the kitchen so we can go for a family walkâ.
And it feels like love.
