Did you ever just want to be a dog? To let your tongue dangle, your ears flop and your tail wag as you romp across an open field, a sandy beach or a snow covered hill. To do it without a care in the world and to experience it as pure joy? Sometimes, I do. I have been reminded of my desire for dogginess over the last few weeks as I have watched the goofy dogs in our house play in the snow until they drop from exhaustion.
If you are in need of a reminder of how to enjoy life in it’s purest form, just let the “guide dogs” in the following pictures show you how.
left: This is the “ear flop, tongue dangle ” part.
right: Don’t you just wonder what they are conspiring about?
left: How about a “snow facial”?
…..when you’re finished, you can just lick it off!
left: The “Princess” contemplates snowboarding.
right: Ooops, it’s kinda deep!
left: Sometimes white dogs disappear in the snow.
right: “Oh boy! It’s a field trip!
left: “Are you coming?”
right: “We always have to wait for the two legged creatures.”
left: There’s a dog in there somewhere.
right: “Hmmm, maybe there are some “poopsicles” in here!”
left: “Sometimes those other dogs are a little too childish for me”
right: “I’m faster than you are!”
left: “Hey, quit biting my butt!”
right: “I think I saw something!”
left” I think I see something too.”
right:”I think I’ll just relax up here and watch the others exhaust themselves.”
left: “Do we have to go home now?”
right:”Just look happy and maybe she will let us stay out and play some more.”
So, there you have it. I hope the “guide dogs” have helped lead you to your inner dogginess, alleviating your stress, so that you can let your tongue dangle, your ears flop and your tail wag!
