Dogs Just Wanna Have Fun

DOGS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

Rex loves the beach...and the park...and long walks around the neighborhood. All he wants to do is have fun. And I can't blame him. Too bad I have to work, or I'd be out there at the beach, and the park, and walking in the neighborhood with him all the time. We have to settle for squeezing it in when we can. But we don't mind. When we do get to have fun, we're loving it!

Letting Go

Diamond -- a little girl with a big heart -- hid from strangers, but showed us an abundance of love when she did come out of her hiding spot in the back of the closet. Her motor purred so loud in bed at night you'd have to tell her to hush so you could get to sleep. And she was always right there, with a head rub against your leg or a soft paw touching your face, when you needed some comfort or reassurance.

No one knew of her huge capacity to give love except us. And we miss that now that it's gone. Diamond lived a long life and is now over the Rainbow Bridge in animal heaven. We'll see you someday, little girl. Til then, happy frolicking!

HE'S GOT IT GOOD

Some days he barks up a storm, usually at nothing I can understand. I'm sure he thinks it's important to let the guys roaming the neighborhood putting flyers under front door mats that he's here and he's watching. At other times, a dog out on a walk with his/her owner must be told "Hey, this is where I live! Remember that!" And still other times I think he barks just to hear himself bark.

But on most days he's content and quiet. A real peach under all that barking fur. He's good at giving me that cute stare from the end of the sofa, or stretching out in a patch of sunshine for a long nap. Oh, how I envy him those moments of blissfulness. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, I will stretch out beside him on the floor and relish a respite from my work. Ahhh....he's got it good!
