Well, I have started and deleted this post a number of times, and am not sure how to go about it, so, all I will say about recent events in New Zealand, is that I am proud of the way our Prime Minister (Jacinda Ardern) has handled the situation, with grace, love and empathy. A model to all, and a true leader of people.
After that, other subjects tend to lose importance, but life goes on, and we must keep living.
And what better example than the unconditional companionship of a dog. Constant, reliable, without judgement (although sometimes I wonder about the judgement, given some looks they give us).
So, here is (hopefully) a heartwarming photo of Ted

I’ve been playing with the hose, dad!
Dont let those eyes fool you, though, he is not averse to disembowelling a (toy) duck

Sorry dad, I got bored.
But generally, Ted takes the world (and us) as he finds us, and just relaxes

Just chillin’
Dont let his cuteness fool you, Ted can be a derp!
We could all learn a few things from dogs.
(and here comes a plug – look for @acorgicalledted on Instagram for more corgiliciousness)
Wishing you a peaceful day.
Such a happy dog! Smiles all round.
