"Dog Wash or Car Wash"

My daughter and I were riding down a road near our house when she observed the most interesting thing. As we looked over at a self-serve car wash, there were people washing and shining their cars on this bright and beautiful day. My daughter pointed out something that I had never seen before. I had driven past this car wash many, many times, but I had not noticed everything they had to offer. Right next to the car wash was a "Dog Wash." I had never seen anything like this before. What an amazing concept! Here is a one stop shop where you can clean either car or dog.

We have a little Yorkshire Terrier dog at our place and I was very interested in this place. A week or so later, I stopped by to take a closer look. There is a table where you can place the dog and hose to clean the dog. You place $5.00 in the meter and you have numerous options. First you can sanitize the table with a special spray and then you can wash your dog. There are numerous settings: Wash, rinse, dry, flea & tick bath, or de-skunk. I haven't taken my dog there yet, but what an amazing concept.

There are so many neat and helpful things right in front of us. If we are not careful, we will get busy and miss some of the things that can make our lives just a little easier. I'm not sure whether I will use the "Dog Wash" or not, but I am reminded to watch for new and creative things around me.

As we start a new week or begin a new transition, we can be open to wonderful things around us. Our God has made a beautiful world - let's enjoy it this week!
