Sometimes I think as humans, we tend to bite off a little more than we can chew. I know Shawn and I do that quite often, but it is our neighbors (the one with 10 kids) that I am writing about.
Bless their hearts, not that the mom has her hands full enough, 10 kids, home schooling and all the other things that come along with that, but she has offered to dog sit for a friend of hers. When she offered, she wasn't sure of the breed, but I am here to tell you it was a St. Bernard. A year old St. Bernard. A HUGE St. Bernard. And what a site it is to see.
Yesterday, the 18 year old decided to walk the dog, better said as the dog decided to walk her. It was the funniest thing we have ever seen, but Shawn being the sweetie he is, went out and helped her. Even he had some issues trying to keep that thing contained.
If you haven't ever seen a St. Bernard in person (I hadn't...only saw them in the movies,) I'm here to tell you they are beautiful dogs. Soft, fluffy and with a tongue bigger than Joshua's head. I swear if it were to lick Josh, his whole face would be covered, and boy are they happy dogs. So happy that she tries to socialize with the entire neighborhood, taking the walker with her.
I have to say one thing, the neighbors next door do seem to take on a lot, but I have learned something from them. Always try to help out someone when they need it. It may be inconvenient for you, but it is a blessing to those you are helping. That is what the human spirit should be about.
