Today I’d rather be a dog. Our dog Finn to be precise. His day started with a nice walk followed by breakfast next to the heater. Late morning meant it was time for a nap in his favorite sun spot then a second trip outside so he could patrol the yard looking for squirrels while carefully listening to the wind. It’s now 2:30 pm and he’s curled up next to Ryan for you guessed it, another nap.
I have paid bills, cleaned the kitchen, driven around town doing errands and am now organizing paperwork for taxes while looking out my window at the very trees in the picture above. Finn’s favorite place for listening to earth’s music. Maybe I’ll turn up my office heat and open the window so I can share the song.

Ah yes, the joy it would be to spend the day like a dog or cat. Well, as long as the pets are well cared for, which I know yours are. Then it would be a heavenly day!

We all do worse than being a dog, especially one who is loved and pampered.

There may not be a better life than that of a dog in a home where his people love him.

You’re right, Jim. And I believe their contentment spreads to the family leaving everyone in a better place.

Absolutely. Rudyard Kipling’s “The Power of a Dog” illuminates the relationship very well.
