Dogs have taught me that the things we get caught up worrying about now are usually insignificant in the future.
Ollie used to rearrange my caravan his way, shredding the odd vital document and even consuming a £5 he got his thieving little paws on.
All of this matters not in the grand scheme of things.
I would be only too happy to have him here messing things up if I could!
We all mess up and we all make mistakes but in the end we are forgiven and our silly deeds are largely forgotten.
We humans hate to get things wrong and will often deny it when we mess up when in reality it is far better to be honest and ask for forgiveness. People tend to respect this honesty and will let it go.
We are loved for the person we are even though we are far from perfect.
Sometimes people spend so many years refusing to talk to certain people that they can even forget whey they fell out with them in the first place.
Life is too short for this. That is what dogs have taught me.
Forgive, forget and move on wherever possible.
