Maizy, who is latest addition to the family, is a combination Schnauzer/Beagle...we think! She loves to talk with her paws and sit in Dad's lap. Being a beagle, her nose rules her world! When we are outside for a walk she is constantly smelling the ground or anything else that her nose finds. At times I have to pull on her to make sure she is following her brother and I.
One would think that being taken off of her scent would cause her to be unhappy at her "master". But Maizy doesn't miss a beat. Her next movement is to go smell something else. She doesn't pay any mind to the fact that the scent behind her is now gone, she just moves on. She will find something else interesting at the next drop of her nose!
We humans have a tendency to get lost in things we have smelled before and when they no longer exists, we miss them and want them back. What Maizy can teach us is that even if something is taken away from us by our "master" (be that fate, God or anything else), it means there is something else for us to focus on. Most of the time, the new is better than the old anyway. Even if it is not, it is just time to move on.
So let's put our noses down and find the next thing.....thanks Maizy!
