Paws on the Street Part Five: Just the Two of Us Revisited with Corrected Link #TeamBlue #SeeingEye

Hello everyone, I’d like to invite you to revisit this post.

Thanks to friend and fellow author and client Abbie Johnson Taylor I’ve become aware that the first link used in this post didn’t work correctly. So, I’m reposting with a corrected link graciously provided by Abbie.

This just goes to show that one must never take their fellow bloggers for granted. It’s great when people watch out for one another.

Thanks, Abbie, for your response.

And now, ‘Paws on the Street Part Five: Just the Two of Us’

This morning, I woke to leg cramps, aching knee and shin bones and slightly swollen ankles.

I felt like my entire body and for a moment all I wanted was to crawl back into bed, pull the covers over my head and hide from what lie ahead.

Then, I heard Blue wiggling in his crate, his tail thumping out a ratatat Ratatat rhythm and in that moment all my hurts, worries and fears melted away.

Later, when we went out to relieve when I squatted to pick up after him, I found I could barely get down to get the job done and when an instructor named Oscar came along offering a hand, I gratefully took his help back to my feet.

Back in our room a few moments later as Blue rested obediently in his crate waiting for his breakfast, it occurred to me that we were in the last day of our training here in the protection of The Seeing Eye bubble and for a moment the panic nearly swept me away.

Just when I thought I might go over the falls a snatch of a song popped into my head and taking a breath to steady myself I called “Alexa, play just the two of us.”

As the music washed over me and Blue came to gobble up his breakfast, I knew everything would be A-OK.

Later as Blue led me into the community lounge for my first cup of morning brew I felt a sense of confidence flowing between us and once again began to sing our song.

I know that no matter what lies ahead for us as we begin our journey together, we can if we allow ourselves to depend on one another and no one else overcome any obstacles placed in our path.

We are Team Blue. We are one yet we are we.

We are Team Blue So! Mote! It! Be! Blessid Be!

Amen.

I see the crystal raindrops fall

And the beauty of it all

Is when the sun comes shining through

To make those rainbows in my mind

When I think of you sometime

And I wanna spend some time with you

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

Just the two of us

Building castles in the sky

Just the two of us

You and I

We look for love, no time for tears

Wasted water’s all that is

And it don’t make no flowers grow

Good things might come to those who wait

Not for those who wait too late

We gotta go for all we know

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

Just the two of us

Building them castles in the sky

Just the two of us

You and I

I hear the crystal raindrops fall

On the window down the hall

And it becomes the morning dew

And darling when the morning comes

And I see the morning sun

I wanna be the one with you

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

Just the two of us

Building big castles way on high

Just the two of us

You and I

Just the two of us
