We ran into the snappy little dog in a store today&#8230; I warned her to give it space but&#8230; she was so crushed and a bit scared when the little dog got mad at her approach.  I hugged her and the owner punished the dog and yet she cried all the way to the van.<\/p>\n<p>When we got to the van I decided to take her in to the grocery to have a look around and work out those tears.  When she stopped at the flower section and kept smelling all the different plants I saw her smile return.  Perhaps it was the joy she took in the pretty flowers or the pleasure smelling them gave her&#8230; this could have been even more of an effect on me since I have no sense of smell&#8230; but the potted daffodils fate to come home with us was a sealed deal when she told me &#8216;I would take such very good care of the baby flowers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The little pot of strong and young plants was on sale so I was smiling as we payed for them.  The little girl holding them, carefully and firmly, in her grasp was smiling because she had something to mother.  This was a perfect little pick me up for Little Woman, it is totally a need of hers to be helpful, important and even domestically motherly.<\/p>\n<p>TTFN<br \/><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Woman adores dogs&#8230; always has had this drive to take care of and fuss over animals&#8230;that is why it is so upsetting for her, and me, when one snaps at her.
