Yet dark day or not, the dog still needed her walk. So on went her snazzy coat - that she despises - and off we went.
Coat-hatred notwithstanding, it didn’t take her long to bury her nose in the season’s first snow. She jumped over - and occasionally into - snowbanks taller than her, and broke through fresh powder as she fruitlessly chased a squirrel who mocked her from atop the backyard fence.
The morning was still dark, an echo of a world that left fairness and kindness behind long before she was a puppy. But for reasons known only to her, all that mattered was the snow.
So she played. And I watched. And smiled at the blinkered innocence and joy of a happy dog.
And while it didn’t fix the planet, the temporary, admittedly trivial light in the darkness was a welcome change.
On the way home, I resolved to be more like her. I quietly wished we could all be more like her.
If only.
