It's fascinating how the memory can conveniently “forget” or how it can retain information so strongly it’s as if you were back in that moment. I have always been curious on how the mind picks and chooses what it will remember and what it won’t….or do we subconsciously choose which memories we will hold onto? I’m sure someone out there has a scientific answer to this question but I prefer to see it as a mystery only each individual can answer for themselves based on their own life experiences.

Today in Los Angeles we had our first storm. (well what we in California consider a storm) The day started out just like any typical sunny day in LA. My husband Bruce took Daisy & Olivia to the park as usual. But this time on the way home Daisy curled up in a ball and started to shake. Nothing was different in her world, her schedule had not changed, she ate breakfast and played like crazy at the park. I reminded Bruce about the thunder storm that was predicted to come through this afternoon. In the past few years Daisy has become pretty accurate with predicting weather patterns. But because the weather changes so little in Los Angeles we forget how sensitive Daisy ultimately is. So as soon as the rain and thunder began I called Bruce and asked how Daisy was. He said a few minutes after the rain started she calmed down. Daisy is so sensitive to the world around her, which is why we work so hard to make life as comfortable and joyous as possible for her.

Last night What about Daisy? was invited to Atomic Dog Radio www.LaTalkradio.com for an interview. And here is where we learned about The Yello Dog Project, where if you see a dog with a yellow ribbon on the leash, this is a dog who needs some space, please do not approach. I love this concept as it is perfect for Daisy. Not that I don't want people approaching Daisy and/or being fearful or sad for Daisy, but rather the opposite. People will hopefully ask why she has the ribbon and I can then instruct them on how to properly meet Daisy. Daisy loves to meet new people as long as she feels safe meeting them. I hope others join in on the Yellow Dog Project as I feel it is a great opportunity to support special needs animals of ALL kinds.
