Why do people dress up their dogs?
You see the picture?
I actually saw these dogs, in their stroller!
Funny thing was—they were struttin' their stuff!
These dogs loved the attention!
The dog with the boots on, jumped out and danced on its back paws!
The dog with the sunglasses?
She posed for the picture!
Yes, you read that right—the owner said, “Sasha, pose for the picture!”
And the dog turned her head and looked right into my camera!
Would not have believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes!
But, as you can tell—I did, and… I took the picture to prove it!
Not one bit of embarrassment; not one moment of uncomfortable!
These two knew they were stopping the crowd, and that’s exactly what they wanted!
Oh by the way—the owners were enjoying the celebrity status also—they were posing for pictures with AND without the dogs!
Made me wonder?
POINTS2PONDER Why do some people just seize the moment, draw the attention, smile for the cameras, while others just shy away and fade into the crowd? Why is it some people create attention, crave the limelight, always prepared for “all eyes on me!” Why do some shake their head in embarrassment while others “strut their stuff?”
I have to admit…I am more of a strutter than a hider!
I always have been.
Whether it’s being one of the volunteers in Universal’s Indiana Jones presentation that refused to die when shot…the crowd began screaming DIE! DIE! DIE!
You can ask my brothers about that one!
Or maybe the guy who picks up the microphone while waiting to go into Disney’s Haunted Mansion at Christmas and leads the crowd in We Wish you a Merry Christmas!
The attendant was not amused but the crowd—they loved it and asked me to lead in Santa Claus Is Coming to Town!
Ask my daughter about that one!
Or how about high school graduation commencement? Falling flat on your face right in front of the principal’s feet, counting to 10 and getting up and bowing!
The whole graduating class gave me a standing ovation; my teacher gave me an “F” in conduct! Ruined my Principal’s Honor Roll, but… I had no regrets!
Ask a “few” of my readers about that one—they remember it well!
And I loved each and every memory made!
I understand how so many people have said “How Can you do that?” I would be so embarrassed!
I just think, “How can you NOT do it? It’s standing there just begging you to “strut your stuff!”
It all comes down to…
We have the participants and the sideliners!
Those “in the crowd” and then “leader of the crowd”.
Which one are you?
And…if you are a “sideliner” or an “in the crowd” person…
Ever secretly want to…just one time…
Strike up the chorus and Lead the Band!
Aww come on!
I dare ya! It is soooo much fun!
Surprise your family – Surprise YOURSELF!
If a dog can do it, with fashion and a sense of style—
Why not “strut your stuff?”
You just might inspire someone to follow your lead!
Remember… IF you get to the end of this wonderful thing God gave us called life…
And have a list of regrets – that is NOT what He intended.
It’s a gift to be used, enjoyed, experienced, shared!
And when you do…
Look right into that camera!
I can promise you—someone’s gonna take your picture!
