Balancing . . . work vs. play . . . right vs. wrong . . . sleep vs. productivity . . . checkbooks . . . blood sugar levels . . .
Balancing brings to mind all those things, and hundreds more. Or it can simply refer to the bone on the dog’s nose! 
At the end of a long day of sniffles and sneezes . . . yes, still . . . I hadn’t taken a photo, yet, and Kyle and the dogs were squeezing some bedtime tricks into the evening. From a pretty early age, we taught ‘Tia to “wait” while we balanced this or that on her nose. When released, she inevitably flings the object into the air and attempts to catch it. When it’s a small treat, she usually succeeds! But, with the big bone, the toss tends to result in a few seconds of chaos and a little bit of growling while she and Cormac both try to figure out where it’s going to land and get there first. It amuses the humans.
