Ever have one of those days when you suddenly realize that life is just the way it was intended to be? I’m having one of those days!!

And for this, I am grateful!!

Last week my son and I took a ride on the Wild Goose Trail and much to our dismay, we saw another dead cat!! It was a different cat, this I am sure of, but it was all kinds of rotted. SICK!! I’m not sure if people just think the trail is a good place to dispose of the carcases or if there are that many dying of natural causes? Either way, it is not pleasant to roll up on a dead animal while riding the bikes.

Today we saw a live animal and discovered that is just as scary!! We are riding along when we see this HUGE white, fluffy dog pacing back and forth along the trail. We approach like it is no big deal, but there was no owner in site. I kind of hoped the owner was not dead in the woods and the dog was trying to tell us or something. When we rode past, I asked the dog where his owner was and he barked at me. I just kept on going. He was a HUGE St. Bernard I think, but he was mostly white?

Further down the trail I saw a man wondering with a leash and asked if he had lost a huge, white, fluffy dog and he had. He was really relieved that we saw her. After passing him we saw his truck and attached to it was a little trailer house thing full of St. Bernard’s! They were all so cute and the trailer was even cuter. Anyhow, he recovered the dog and when we rode back by dog and owner, she really snarled at me Yeah, he let me know she was ‘a nice girl.’ Glad I’m not scared of doggies!!
