The art of not paying attention
You know how some days, stupid things happen when you're not paying attention?
Like people who drive and text message and hit a car (I don't even know HOW to text message), or if you're reading while walking and bump into something (I've done that). Cooking is another challenge when you're juggling things and trying not to burn something, while making dinner for the dogs, answering the phone, etc.
Well, even dogs have that problem! Yesterday morning, as usual, I was walked Dolly the Weimaraner and Franklin the Dachshund. Dolly, is bigger (61 pounds) and taller than Franklin (1/3 her height and 23 pounds), and she squatted to urinate. Well, Franklin wasn't paying attention and was right behind her, so he got peed on, before I quickly pulled him away!
Next time you're driving and your cell phone rings, pull over and answer it. In today's world of "hurry up" it's easy to try and do things fast while not concentrating. Just remember, if you're not paying attention, you may also get peed on! (so to speak).
