What's your Wonder today?

[shenanigans]

i have a fun little happy game for everyone, if you'd like to join.

i listen to a podcast quite often called 'Wonderful', by Rachel & Griffin McElroy. they're a husband/wife duo and the entire things is just them talking about things that are really... wonderful!


so, what's your small wonder for today?

what's your big wonder?




to start, my small wonder for the day is people's reactions to my dogs! it's always super nice to hear and have people correctly guess their breed!

my big wonder is the northern lights! they appeared over my area for the first time in ... my lifetime? recently and though i didn't see it, that's so cool!

My small wonder today is getting a head-butt from my (rescue?) kitten Nova.

My big wonder is that despite avoiding capture from many, many well meaning and concerned people trying to move him somewhere safer, he chose to come home with me.

[shenanigans]

that's so adorable, kaxanar!!


my small wonder today is photos of dogs in weird sleeping positions   

my big wonder is show candids! i love seeing sports photos ...  i was recently surprised with some candids of myself and my dog's brother, from the only time i have ever shown him and he looks FANTASTIC!
i never get show candids of myself and the dogs, typically only show class dogs and no specials or they're pics of just the dogs. it was so nice!

Silly sleepy pups are the best! <3

My small wonder today is the closing manager buying pizza for everyone that worked Homecoming weekend.

My big wonder is that we all survived those shifts (mostly) sane lol.

Ooh, that sounds yummy!

My small wonder today was talking with one of my newest friends. She's an absolute delight, and radiates literal GODDESS energy.

My big wonder for today was my horseback riding lesson. Dutch and I did AMAZING, and couldn't have done a better job. We're definitely going to kick butt at our upcoming show!

[Kaxanar]

Good luck at your show Kovan!

My small wonder today was spending the evening with some friends at Dorney Park’s haunt. We all had a blast.

My big wonder today is successfully trimming my guinea pigs’ nails without anyone getting stressed (either me or them lol). Usually at least two of them are squirmy little monsters that refuse to cooperate, but today everybody just calmly sat while I took care of their nails. Hopefully that means I’m getting better at it.

my wonder today is re-discovering something you consistently listen to or love.

for example - i rotate a few different podcasts as previously mentioned. right now i'm plowing through the magnus archives and have caught up on the others i listen to.

yesterday on my drive home i put on the newest episode of the adventure zone and the theme song alone just filled me with such joy.
it was so nice c:

Music can be soooo amazing to listen to, and sometimes certain songs just hit different!

My small wonder for today was a really good brownie I had. I have a serious sweet tooth, so a warm, fudgey chocolate brownie? *drooling*

My big wonder for today was how Duchess did today at the show grounds. We always get on and do a bit of jumping the day before our shows, and she was absolutely amazing today! She jumped everything no problem, our only mistake being a lead change in the middle of a line. It was EXTREMELY impressive!

[Kaxanar]

My small wonder today is getting some homemade applesauce from a friend. Yum!

My big wonder is finally picking up my sketchbook after I don’t even know how many years. I just did a couple quick doodles, and they are absolute garbage I am SO out of practice, but I am so proud of myself for finally drawing something again that I don’t even care how bad they are.

[shenanigans]

my small wonder today is rain.

as some of you know, we're currently having record levels of rainfall and disastrous flooding. that's not good.

when i talk about rain i dont mean enough to flood, i mean the nice easy rain that barely touches you if you're walking outside. the kind you can hear when you sit in your car and it's calming and nice. warm spring rain.

anything but this rain 

my big wonder today, as mentioned before, is the McElroy's!
they get bolded & big. i get to see a live show of theirs on friday and i am beyond excited!

[Kaxanar]

My small Wonder today is snow! It was just a few flurries, and I doubt it will still be on the ground by tomorrow, but I’m hoping it’s a sign of more to come! ❄️☃️❄️

My small wonder is the opposite: sitting outside in the sunshine on the first day of summer.
