One Week and One Day

Scout has been living with us for one week and one day.  She has amazed me several more times with her bravery and willingness to trust.  Scout now lets Mike hold her leash on walks and will come in the door past him (if I'm in the house.)  She also got in the car with much less trepidation twice today - it only took about 5 or so minutes each time as opposed to 30 very stressful minutes a few short days ago.

Today, Scout saw our veterinary chiropractor for the first time.  Think about that.  One week and one day ago, she was running loose, uncatchable and facing a long cold winter without shelter to speak of.  Today, she had a chiropractic adjustment.  Just when it seems that things are at their lowest point and we have no trust and faith in anyone - we never know who might pull into the drive thru lane.  Our lives can change in an instant, just like Scout's life did.  Often we focus on how our lives could change "for the worse" in an instant, though the opposite is also true.  We might just glance to our left at a stoplight and meet our spouse to be, we might take a "write-off" elective course in college and make a connection that affects our career, we might turn right instead of left and see a double rainbow, we might decide to order fries at the Wendy's on Route 71 at Exit 151 and meet a new teacher.  We just never know. 

All we can do is learn from Scout - Try Trust and see what happens.  It could be GREAT!
