Unexpected lovely moment

Everyone likes a cuddle❤

I had one on Sunday when I had a local walk that I take quite often in a now wooded area that used to be mine workings. I never expect to see much wildlife there, but on Sunday, a female roe deer trotted cross my path. We stared at each other for a few moments and then it was off, leaving me open mouthed. I’ve been doing the walk for twelve years and never seen sign of deer. Where there is one, I hope there are others. It out a spring in my step all the way home!

I was recently in Corfu Airport, feeling a bit stressed after a bit of a hiccup coming through security. I queued up to buy a bottle of water and the assistant was quite snappy saying that she couldn't accept a 20 Euro note which was all that I had on me. I turned away a bit upset and this lovely young man behind me offered to buy me the water. I nearly burst into tears but managed to say No and Thank you. DH eventually came to the rescue. I had to go and thank the young man again when I'd regained my composure, but I was really touched and it cheered me up no end.

A few days ago a crow was drinking from a puddle of water. Not wishing to disturb it, I took a wide berth, but, being hesitant, the crow jumped back about 5 feet and looked at me. I carried on walking and, 50 feet later turned around to see it carrying on with its drink. Such a small pleasure from an everyday bird.

I love the dramatic dog 😂

I had a lovely moment the other day at a family 'do'. My three year old niece asked me to draw her a wolf. My drawing skills are seriously lacking, but I obliged within the limits of my ability. I could see by the look on her face that my niece was unimpressed, but she called for her mother and said 'Look Mummy - Auntie Doodle has tried her very best to do this wolf.'

I felt very encouraged and promised myself I'd do better next time

Two weeks ago I was walking out of the nearby woods on a narrow pathway between two hedgerows and came face to face with a young badger. I was close enough to touch it but he looked at me then shuffled across my path and into the opposite hedgerow. It was a magical moment. I rang the Badger trust when I arrived home and a lovely man told me it was highly unusual to see a badger during the day.

It made my day.

so much to cuddle too

dramaa dog mine stand in front of me and vocalization for a long time if some one else is there she side eyes to see if they are paying attention

My little dog (on lead) approaches everyone with tail wagging and body wriggling - most people make a fuss of her, and one lady said that the encouter had made her day. However, some people inevitably walk past wthout looking at her, and she seems to wilt. Not everyone likes, notices or wants to pat dogs of course, but I do feel sorry for her when her loving overtures are ignored.

My dog's totally soft &, I think, rather gorgeous but if people try & cuddle him when he's out he always acts distinctly unimpressed, it's rather embarrassing. Children, he'll raise a tail wag for. If strangers come to the house, he's all lovey dovey, he was on the sofa with the dog-loving Openreach engineer this week, leaning into him & staring soppily into his eyes.

The Pyranean was enormous. When he snuggled into me he nearly pushed me over. The young man was saying how difficult it was if he did one of his sad collapses as he couldn't get him back up very easily. I nearly gave him my number for emergency cuddles!

It sounds a lovely moment! They are very furry indeed :-)

A fellow dog walker told me she was worried at not having seen the resident barn owl recently. Later, as was walking DD2’s dog, the owl suddenly flew overhead, totally oblivious of me, hovered around for a while, then dived into the grass, not 20ft ahead, grabbed a vole in one talon and flew off to a nearby tree to consume it.
I stood there like a kid seeing Santa - just saying wow!

Walking round the supermarket today, a little child ( an Afghan refugee) was singing and skipping along. I smiled at him and he stopped and gave me a lovely smile back.
I was so glad he was living here in safety.

We were in a lovely little cafe in Bath a couple of days ago where an older woman, very well dressed and rather chic was having afternoon tea, we got into conversation with her and discovered that she had lost her husband three years before and that her son had given her the voucher for afternoon tea in good faith but that she really hated eating alone, indeed she had invited a friend to come along and help her finish the afternoon tea because she knew it would be far too much for her, but he friend became poorly at the last minute. We sympathised and the woman suddenly asked if we’d mind joining her, so we did, and had a really nice time, we ordered more tea and sandwiches but she insisted upon us helping her clear the cakes and scones.
She was so thankful that we had joined her and taken time out to make sure her afternoon tea was enjoyable, but for us it was a real pleasure as well.
Meeting this charming lady was an unexpected lovely moment.

the dog really, really enjoyed being patted and fussed and sometimes collapsed with disappointment if nobody came along and did it. It's his mother's dog and he likes ladies.

That dog’s a bit weird if you ask me.

I have arthritis which makes bending down almost impossible. Walking through our local park a young man very politely told me my shoe lace was undone. I struggled to bend but he said he would do it as he often had to do it for his gran!

merlotgran I expect that that dog has looked like a cuddly teddy it's whole life and people have always wanted to cuddle him. I have a delightful cat who, every now and then, just has to jump up on my knee for a long cuddle. He wakes up, miaows and runs at me no matter what I'm doing. After a while he has had enough and jumps down.
Loved the stories of the deer, the owl and the badger as well as nice human meetings.

My lovely moment was the pure joy of seeing my older dog looking happier today & trying to steal the bird's bread . 😊

What a lovely uplifting thread,,, 🤗

crows are remarkably intelligent.. I also love seeing seagulls stamping on the grass in my local park (apparently to attract worms)

Wonderful! 😃 my dog's a diva too & he's an old sheepdog! He goes up to everyone to introduce himself & whines if we don't let him. He even blatently pursues people with the intention of getting a bit of a fuss!!!!! 😃

Sorry, but I can’t imagine ever being happy to cuddle a dog! (Puts on tin hat!)
