Every day begins with the possibility of a new adventure. We are always watching Mister Tom and listening to him when he comes and goes. There is no telling what excitement may be in store. We’re not just talking about rustling of treat bags or the smell of a fresh banana being peeled. We want to be involved as much as we can in everything. Even when Mister Tom is working on some project in the basement we eagerly watch and wait. How do you think we figured out about computers and email and making our own blog? We are thanked for our help in any project. Grocery shopping is always interesting. As Mister Tom brings bags of things into our house we consider it our job to investigate everything he unpacks.
We are keenly aware that when Mister Tom grabs a dog leash there could be adventures outside or practice learning new things. Visits to our back yard are always filled with excitement. Mister Tom seems almost as interested as we are in things happening in the yard. We help him check out the trees and plants. He is not as interested in bunnies and squirrels, however. Even after all these years we can’t get him to chase after the bunnies. He does not know the fun he is missing.
ADVENTURES (Copyright 2014 by Buster J. Brown and Captain Eddie)
Each day a new adventure brings,
We’re poised for almost anything.
Movement about could be a clue,
Of some undertaking to do.
We’re first in line to volunteer,
Always eager and in good cheer.
Leisurely walk or expedition,
We’re always a welcome addition.
No matter what the escapade,
We’re there to help and aid.
“First in line to volunteer. . . ” Hey, volunteering is a wonderful thing, Buster and Eddie. I’m sure you are a great help to Mister Tom with all your efforts to volunteer. Keep trying with the bunnies and squirrels—you never know when he’ll catch on.
Why do you suppose people need so much help? I find that people always want something from me. Mom’s actually disappointed that I haven’t done more. If life is an adventure, why can’t people just let it flow?
Eddie and I agree with you Haley. Have fun even with the smallest things. Enjoy the minute, the hour, and the day!
