Happiness is....

....a lot of silly, simple things if you are a dog. I'm constantly amazed of how little - at least in my eyes - it takes to make my dog happy. Some days, it's nothing more than going outside in the yard and sitting in the sun. Or running around the yard. Or going for a walk and sniffing every tree and hydrant. And telephone pole. Some day - no make that every day - it's being asked "do you want to eat your dinner?" Incredible how happy that makes him! And let's not forget belly rubs - just heaven for a dog.

Don't you ever wish your life was as simple as a dog's?

I honestly thought about this and decided that no, at least not my dogs. Henry lived in a crate for 3 years, Stella on the street, and Bertlemann's life stopped being simple the day he bit my baby's face. Plus I'd be SO fat.

Good point. When I think that someone abandoned Boomer - left him tied to a tree in a park - that's bad. And the other thing - you have to do your business outside in all kinds of weather, with people watching.
