Oh fall, what a wonderful time of the year... to get all of my nice objects furry. My dogs are starting to shed again, great. It's everywhere, on my blankets, all over my black leggings and even on my precious teddy bear. I can't help but be a little annoyed with all of the little tan-- black hairs, and the hair rollers aren't helping.
Why are my dogs shedding? According to Gina Spadafori, "Dogs typically lose their winter coats in the spring, when it's replaced by a shorter, lighter summer coat. In the fall, this cycle is reversed -- the summer coat is shed to make room for heavy, protective fur for winter" (Spadafori).
Shedding is profound in a way. Dogs shed semiannually, constantly getting rid of their aged selves. We could learn a lot from this. Personally, if something happens to me, I hold onto it, the memories replaying in the back of my mind like a recored on repeat. If we shed the aged or faulty issues like our furry counterparts, how much happier would we become? Imagine the peace and serenity we all would have if we took a moment to vanguish our troubles. Shedding the past and opening the door to step into a new light of the world would drastically change the society we live in today. The hate and ugliness of the world would have no effect on us because we would be happy...

I love the line "constantly getting rid of their aged selves." I wish I could do that occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate. I have four Chihuahuas and their food is almost everywhere in the house! (Not to mention on my clothes.) I agree with you, if we could "vanquish our troubles" there would be a high possibility of humanity be much happier. Unfortunately, for some unexplainable reason, humanity is lost when it comes to letting go of the past. Great blog and comparison.
ReplyDeleteI like the line of "shedding your past," I feel like if the memories we don't want to remember were gone we would be able to live more happily. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteThe connection between dogs shedding and humans getting rid of their troubles is really cool. Life would be a lot more easy if we could do that.
ReplyDeleteI love how you put in good information! I can relate to this post, it was interesting to find out why dogs shed during this time of the month. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI like how you connect what you observe to humans and said that if humans let go of their worries just like how dogs shed, we would be much happier.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the connection of letting go of our past to the way dogs shed. I really hate when my dogs shed but it's something I've been dealing with for the past 10 years.
