Sometimes, when we are in the dining or living room area a scuffling sound attracts our attention just as we catch sight of a blur moving past us at the speed of light. No, Superman doesn’t live here; it’s Ellie going from the apartment window to the kitchen window for a better view of something that piqued her interest. She loves to perch on my sewing machine table in the apartment family room or climb over my kitchen sink to the garden window; either of which gives her a great view of the backyard. Heaven help us, however, if we are in her path when she spies a cat or bird in her territory.
Actually, I’m quite impressed that, out of the 34 windows boasted by this house, she has earmarked the two that give her the best views from different perspectives of the biggest part of our yard. Don’t think she doesn’t routinely check her domain from other viewpoints, but these two require the most hours of scrutiny.
I am sure there is a lesson somewhere in all this. A lesson on perspectives, determination, or watchfulness would all be appropriate, but my thoughts just keep circling around how much pets can add to your life..if you let them.
