Point of View

Yesterday, we enjoyed a warm day, treed a raccoon, chased a herd of deer, stood quietly watching a red-bellied woodpecker drilling overhead, enjoyed the eerie peace of answering calls of a pair of barred owls, greeted dog friends, and enjoyed some socializing.  Today, we rolled on a deer carcass, slid both flanks through a very dead fish, saw no one and got wet and cold. .... I like dog walking some days more than others.  --Susan



Yesterday, we did an awesome job running really fast and chasing LOTS of interesting animals in the woods, watched attentively and hopefully for birds we could point and flush, sniffed and played with some dog friends, collected compliments from humans and patiently waited to share treats with friends.  But TODAY, we found some fantastic natural perfuming opportunities, had the trail all to ourselves, so got to chase ALL the birds and squirrels, didn't have to wait around, sniffed up loads of "doggie news" and I didn't have to wait for or share my treats. ...  Every day is a great day when out walking, but some days are even better than others.  --Tia
