living in the present time while having past memories

Just recently I got a little puppy chihuahua he is now 12 weeks old. He is a very friendly and is happy dog, he want to be hold quite often but he is also very independant when it come time to play. Sometime he stop and look at our older dog Chubby for behavior reference. CHubby is getting use to it slowly but surely. This little dog of mine bring back quite a few memories from my childwood becaused I had a dog exactly the same.
