The greatest thing about dogs (and I have 5); is their ability to just be. They live in the moment; focus on what’s happening right that second; they aren’t burdened by what happened last year or in the last five minutes, or next month.

As the addage goes “worry is interest on a debt never paid”.

We can learn many life-strategies from our canine pals:

Only what you are doing at this exact point in time matters. Focus on what’s in front of your nose.

When you’re stressed, stop and pant a little;

Smell everything! Reserve judgement no matter how bad the stench;

Believe there is a bone in every dirt pile.

Once in awhile, eating someone else’s vomit is good for the conscience!

Don’t chase your tail for no reason.

To a DOG every morning is Christmas!!!
