The Time We Thought We Had: A Quiet Book About Loving a Dog and the Time We Keep Postponing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247434559)

This is not a book about dogs.
It's a book about time - and the mistake we make when we believe we have more of it.

We plan longer walks.
We promise "next summer."
We tell ourselves we'll slow down later.

And while we're busy thinking ahead, the one beside us is living now.

THE TIME WE THOUGHT WE HAD is a quiet, reflective book about loving a dog and slowly realizing that time does not move at the same speed for both of you. Told through moments, observations, and an intimate dialogue between a person and their dog, this book explores how love becomes routine, how presence gets postponed, and how easily "later" turns into something you never reach.

Dogs don't measure life in years or plans.
They respond to intention.
To movement.
To now.

As days pass, the person remains the same - strong, capable, busy.
But the dog does not.
And one day, something simple becomes impossible.

This book is not about loss.
It's about noticing - before there is something to lose.

Written for dog owners who:

• feel time moving faster than they expected

• keep postponing moments they believe will wait

• want to remember what being present actually feels like

THE TIME WE THOUGHT WE HAD doesn't tell you what to do.
It simply holds up a mirror - quietly - and lets you decide what matters while you still can.
