Being a dog is in many ways a lot less complicated than being a human. On the whole if it looks like fox poo and smells like fox poo then it probably is fox poo and we happily roll in it. We don\u2019t go around wondering whether it might be only something being made to look and smell like fox poo. We don\u2019t think it\u2019s all a big conspiracy to make us believe it\u2019s fox poo, we use our senses and in general as a species we don\u2019t try to mislead each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there\u2019s the whole authority thing. We have pack leaders. We of course have our own form of \u2018election\u2019 for who is going to be the next pack leader and yes, maybe a little fur flies in the process. However, once that pack leader is chosen you have two choices, you go along with them or you leave the pack. We don\u2019t trying saying it\u2019s not real and it\u2019s not fair. We don\u2019t take legal action. We either get with the programme or take our barking elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We live in the moment. We make the most of every day. If it is dry and sunny then we sit in the sun and enjoy the feel of it on our fur. If it\u2019s wet and the ground is muddy, we roll in it and enjoy the feel of it on our fur. You get the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t give the days of the week names. That way, we can\u2019t spend Wednesday saying \u2018Oh but I wish it was Friday,\u2019. We just say \u2018Yay, another day to enjoy. Let\u2019s play in the leaves.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I\u2019m suggesting you live life more like your dog. I don\u2019t mean go and sniff butts. That is an acquired taste, so to speak. Just go and live in the moment and be grateful for all the wonderful things that the day has to offer. If there are no roses to smell, then find some damp moss or a pine tree. Don\u2019t wish for what you haven\u2019t got. Make the most of what you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
