Dog burrito time

The best place for a nap

When the world feels a bit like a disturbed snow globe, it never hurts to wrap your puppy up like a burrito and gently rock her to sleep.

Calli the Wonderschnauzer is usually a bit more, um, high-strung than she is here. But Dahlia, like all our kids, has a certain soft touch with this otherwise bouncy dog. And Calli happily goes into chill mode whenever her big human sister wants to spend some quality time together.

It's a reminder that everything around us has something of a silver lining. We may not have the freedom of movement and gathering that we normally enjoy. We may think the overwhelming sense of uncertainty and loss of control represent the sum total of our current situation

We may want to rethink that narrative.

There's a flip side to all of this, and it revolves around time; specifically the ample amounts of it that we've been gifted. To just be. With the people - and sometimes animals - who make us whole.

I hope, as we stare out from our isolated windows and wonder what comes next, we're able to recognize the blessing among the fear.

It's there. Trust the burrito-wrapped dog and our very perceptive daughter.
