Day 24….stillness

Our youngest golden, Hugo, had us running through the woods last night for almost two hours. This isn’t him, this is Ellie, the reliable one. It wasn’t Hugo’s fault though. He shouldn’t have been off lead and he was just following his nose. But this morning as we were walking around the pond I had to stop and take in its stillness. It was just as still in the darkness last night as Hugo made his way along the path without us. We were not still though. We were running or walking or driving and looking and calling (or bellowing.) But all that time Hugo was wandering around the lake and then found a spot up on a bank and sat there waiting in the stillness.
