Hello, PD Support Community!!
🌈 I hope everyone is doing well. Sending Positive Energy and BIG puddles of fun! 🌈
Have you noticed how Puddles have this magical pull on children!
As a child, when I saw a rain puddle. I had to jump into it. I had too!
While I was riding my bicycle, if I saw a puddle I had to ride through it. Again and again, it brought joy.
(left) Me as a child thinking about jumping into puddles. (right) me now thinking about jumping into puddles.
As a child jumping into puddles was pure joy and most entertaining. But then one day, we grow up. It’s no longer fun jumping into puddles. We now avoid them, even in our cars. We will drive around them, slow down before entering one. It is stressful and dreading with the thought of a puddle splashing. They soil our pants, and make our feet cold. It is Adult baggage. It all adds stress.
🐾 Why do we have to grow up?
🐾 Why is it that you think as adults we stop wanting to jump into puddles of water?
🐾 What is something you use to think is fun?
🐾 What do you wish you could do again?
🐾 Are you a rule breaker?
💗 We are Always happy to hear from you! 💗

@Barltik2065
Hello Barltik!
Thank you for the check in, love dogs' images!! 🐾
@MeaningfulSilence
Thank you!!
Dogs to me are the greatest things in the world for they are unconditional. Also they are most expressive
@Barltik2065
Awesome 💙 🐶
@Barltik2065 I, personally, don't think adults necessarily want to stop jumping in rain puddles. Rather, I think they just think it's frowned up because we are too old. However, I have always loved jumping in rain puddles and splashing. I still enjoy it and my kids do too. I don't think age should decide if we can continue or not. Another thing, I loved was playing in muddy puddles when I was young. Lol, awww the good times. ♡
@YourCaringConfidant
Oh yes the fun times of being a child and not having the burdens of "Proper"
Please jump into a puddle for me LOL
@Barltik2065
🐾 Why is it that you think as adults we stop wanting to jump into puddles of water?....I probably did because as a female, I don't want to get dirty! lol...However, I jumped in one for the FIRST time in Years at the Beach over the summer.
🐾 What is something you use to think is fun?....Running around playing childhood games with the kids in the neighborhood until it got dark out.
🐾 What do you wish you could do again?....Talk to and spend time with my Grandparents, or Watch my son grow up again!
🐾 Are you a rule breaker?....Oh goodness yes! All of the time lol... I'm just not a rule follower. I've always "Marched to the beat of my own drum".
@PoliteOcean
Thank you for sharing!
“… I don’t want to get dirty!” I hear ya
“However, I jumped in one for the FIRST time ..” PLEASE, share how that felt!
Kids games can be fun … especially watching their expressions. Children generally don’t hold back.
@Barltik2065
Hi, Barltik,
Why is it that you think as adults we stop wanting to jump into puddles of water? Well, as an adult, I know that I'll get my pretty clean shoes all dirty and then I'll be responsible for getting them clean.
🐾 What is something you use to think is fun? Lots of things that I still think are fun, like rollerskating.
🐾 What do you wish you could do again? jump rope--that's too hard on my leg joints
🐾 Are you a rule breaker? Most of the time I would say no
@purpleTree4652
Thank you for sharing!
We could always get an old pair of shoes and go jump into the puddles :)
Would you follow behind me if we did?
Oh Roller Skating, wow it has been decades since I did that. Did you go to rinks? Or just down the street. Never did down the street.
Since you are not a rule breaker, you like structure. Does that bring you comfort?
@Barltik2065
Hiya,
I wouldn't waste money on an old pair of shoes, but I would jump in the puddle if I had boots for the rain.
I used to go to rinks.
Following the rules keeps me calm. And it is good for the soul.
@purpleTree4652
There we go :)
Get some rain boots and lets go jumping LOL.
Ah yes the rinks. Which song was your favorite one?
I seem to remember some Whitney Houston, Kool & The Gang, Bee Gees, Michael Jackson and few other groups that played when I was there.
Good for the Soul, yes it is :)
Thank you again for sharing, good memories and fun times.
Thanks for the check-in @Barltik2065 - very cute pups!
Hi Lou! I love your small beagle here :) This is another wonderful thing about dogs/puppies - they are very willing to do silly things to help their humans to laugh, smile, or roll around on the floor with them :) Me too, I LOVE LOVE dogs!
Thanks for the smile! @Lou73 <3 Platy
@Lou73 @cyanPlatypus6370
Thank you @Lou73 for your Beagle! Childhood puppy was a Beagle Basset mix.
Dogs are the best. Cyan you are on point with help their humans. I wouldn’t know what to do without mine
🐾 🐾 All over my 💗 heart 🐾 🐾
@Barltik2065, oh yes. I agree - those words! I am so thankful for my four-legged friends!!!! My canine family members are nearly as (if not sometimes more) important to & for me as my human family members!
And dogs are just amazing! okay, times about 3 gazillion! Thank you, God, for making dogs! I think they are pretty marvelous! Love Platy (and SST :)
@lou73, too
