A day in the FOREST

It takes just a few things to let Lola know where her day will take her. The orange collar around her neck, the extra large meal, the clicking of a bike’s wheels as it rolls out the front door. Before long, she’s in the car waiting ‘til she sees the trees whizz by in the window. This morning in the forest was like any other; he led the way up and down the flowing trails, with Lola barking her way along as she struggled to keep up with him. With seemingly innovative quick thinking, Lola takes a shortcut to keep up with her Dad. The whirring figure she was following suddenly disappeared from ahead of her. She looked back to see that her Dad, a beacon of agility, was suddenly in and covered with dust. Lola keeps him company as he waits for help, with no idea how much this incident will change their lives over the next few months. The wheels that once spun fiercely stood still, silenced by an unforeseen accident. After three months, Barry has fully recovered and is returning to riding trails with Lola. This story, if nothing else, reminds us to seize the moment and cherish every adventure we can take. Of course, Lola has no idea what happened and continues to enjoy her trail adventures with her Dad.
