I love taking Lady on long walks through our So Cal neighborhood; but there's just something about walking through my parents' neighborhood that is beautiful in such a different way. I grew up here, I know these streets, which makes me nostalgic and want to hold onto it for that much longer. I like to think about how Bear and I would jog here and how hard he'd pull on his leash until we were both too exhausted to keep up that fast pace and how he'd sniff everything and raise his eyebrows at anything he deemed "suspect". Walking Lady on these same streets makes me think that no matter how much happens in life and everything going forward, we CAN always look back and feel renewed again. Each time I come home my mom talks about moving, getting a smaller place and how "someday you'll all be grown and gone and we'll have no need for our big house". It's sad to think that someday I'll "come home" to a new house, but home is where your heart is. :)
The girls joined Lady and I on our walk this morning and I'm confident a good time was had by all! These 3 don't always get along, but I'm convinced there's some cousin-love in there somewhere!
With love, Kayla
