I know it’s hard to believe but I may have made a bit of a fool of myself recently.
It’s not entirely my fault because it’s not easy concentrating on more than one thing at a time and I haven’t quite got the hang of it.
You see, I was taking Renee (my human) for a walk and she was on her lead as she usually is when we’re walking on the pavement.
It was a nice enough day and my attention was taken by a rather nice looking bitch who was almost as good looking as me. Oh, she fluttered her eyes at me, circled round a bit, waggled her rear end and generally made her interest in me pretty clear.
But Renee, apparently, was in a bit of a hurry. Although what could be more important than a romantic liaison with a fine looking Labrador beats the living daylights out of me. That’s by the by... she was in a hurry so I had no choice other than to follow on.
I took a last lingering look back at my latest conquest in the hope of getting a last sight of that lovely tail... and walked smack into a lamppost.
Damn me, but it hurt my beak and I have to admit I was a bit shocked for a few minutes.
As soon as I gathered me wits, though, I sauntered on as thought nothing had happened; that was until I took a sneaky peak at Renee, who, it so happens, saw the whole thing and was killing herself laughing.
What could I do?
I Mustered what little dignity was left to me, put me nose and me tail in the air and walked on, jaunty as anything, just to show her I didn’t care that her sides were splitting.
It turns out, though, that some good came of my ‘walking-into-a-lamppost’ incident.
Apparently it reminded Renee, that it’s really important to keep an overview of the business as well as looking after all the details. If you get so hung up on the day to day detail of the business you’re likely to walk right into a lamppost because you won’t be looking where you’re going.
It’s not an easy trick, mind you, having all these different views, so it’s always best to schedule time out to keep a check on the big picture... and, if you can, do it with someone else; someone who’ll help you avoid a nasty collision by really challenging you on where you are going.
By the way, my snozzle is much better now... thanks for asking.
