Recently one of my much loved dogs, little Pollyanna, was diagnosed with diabetes and subsequently, as a result, she is going blind.

But, has it worried her?

No, not one bit.

You see dogs are great at living in the moment. They aren’t lamenting their loss and thinking about what their lives could have been. They just get on with life. So Polly is coping with her new situation and handling her challenges and problems well, really well (she just asks for a few more cuddles by way of reassurance).

Surely, in these trying times there’s a lesson for all of us… live in the moment, don’t lament our losses and just get on with life and ask for a few more cuddles by way of reassurance.
