Zoey the dog -- part
Border Collie/Lab, part Dalmatian
my blog tonight. I was talking to a friend today about dog wisdom
and it tempted Zoey to chip in.
Seven things that dogs know:
1. Move forward -- the good stuff is all in front of you.
2. Each day is a good day, as long as you can go out in it.
3. There is no right season for turkey.
4. The best couch to sleep on, is the one you aren't
supposed to be on -- wait until no one is home.
5. Every day is a play day.
6. Let the people you love know you're ecstatic when
they come in the door.
7. If you can't have a run, walk, and if you can't
have a walk, sleep.
That's it for today .
Have a walking-the-dog-in-the-spring-light day.

Hi R.,
I'll tell Zoey you like her list. She's thinking of writing a book. Memoirs tempt her, but she feels that's so overdone in the dog world.
I keep trying to encourage her to follow her dreams, but she's extremely busy these days.
Take care,
Barbara
Hi Maryanne,
That's wonderful. I do love that about dogs -- their almost unquenchable enthusiasm.
Barbara
Nice dog. Nice blog.
You know, dogs are pretty smart. All that "my favorite thing" business. If only we people could master that attitude!
Great dog wisdom. It's so simple and happiness is the result.
Hi Donald,
I agree completely. Dogs seem to be one of the happiest animals.
Take care,
Barbara
Hi Laurel,
It's true isn't it. Dogs can teach us a lot. Their delight in movement is something I notice, because many people get stuck in offices all day, and don't know that we probably need to go for walks.
