The 3S’s take on a different feel at home when pet sitting is involved. It’s easy to consider our son’s little dog and medium-sized cat to be the picks of the litter, but there is less silence with the hungry meow of the cat, less solitude with the dog asleep at my feet, and less simplicity with the morning preparation of a gourmet meal for each.
Most of life is filled with happenings such as these; I don’t think of them as distractions. But when I am able to create some kind of ‘cottage’ situation for myself, something as normal as a week of pet sitting alerts me to how sacred silence, solitude and simplicity can be.
