Going to the dogs…
So, yes, this blog title should tell you everything you need to know…
rn
This one has gone to the dogs…
rn
So this morning I am up bright and early at 4 a.m. No reason, really, just my body saying “GET UP YOU!!!”
rn
So I go to the spare bedroom to let the dogs out…There stands all three of them bright eyed and busy tailed…Wagging their tails so hard their butts are wiggling…
rn
IT’S FOUR A.M. and they dont seem to care…
rn
So I let them out, feed them, pet them, and then, out of boredom, I start reflecting on that…
rn
These dogs, no matter what, greet each day with enthusiasm…It doesnt matter to them if its 2 a.m., 4 a.m. or 8 a.m., they are up, happy and ready to start their day as soon as they see me…
rn
Not only that, but they are almost ALWAYS happy…
rn
Well, minus the dreaded trip to the Vet’s office, they almost always embrace every event with love and enthusiasm, and they show it, physically by wagging their tails, jumping up, and barking…
rn
How lovely, I thought!
rn
Not only that, but EVERY time they see me, they are very happy…
rn
They rush to greet me when I get home from work, they rush to greet me in the morning…And they dont care if I have ignored them all day to go work out, or type on the computer, they still sit there, waiting for me to show them just a bit…A tiny bit of love and attention. And when I do, they look at me with such complete devotion…Man…That’s rare…
rn
To them, I am a God, an object worthy of their devotion, even though often, I am not…
rn
So this morning, I was thinking I could probably learn something from my three silly mutts and one nuerotic cat…
rn
I should start greeting each day with a bit more happiness and enthusiasm, because its true, there could be the dreaded Vet visit today, but also, there could be kibbles, ear scratches, walks and belly rubs…
rn
When we wake up, we never know what events the day will bring…
rn
So thank you girls!!! This one is dedicated to you…Michaela, Annabell, Lucy and Bridgette…
rn
For loving me unconditionally and for greeting each day, as if its the greatest day on earth!
rn
I love you, you crazy furry kids…
rn
Wow what a perspective. I wish only we all could wake up and be that happy. My dog is so sweet at all times and happy even after my son and daughter have been aggrivating him
Sister, you HAVE gone to the dogs!!!!!
But I do see what you’re saying. When I had a dog, he was like that. Kinda miss it, but dogs and traveling sometimes just don’t mix well. Although a dog would help keep me from getting so lonely!! Too bad my lease specifies ‘no pets’. Maybe I need to talk to the landlady about that. I’ve always wanted a Shelty.
Keep up that attitude!!!!
You are right! I have a yellow lab and two cats and you are so right. Thanks for the reminder this day - I need it.
Thank you for your blog. It really touched me. I was having a bad mommy day. I was crabby and snippy, and my kids just wanted to be next to me. I really needed to hear that today. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

WOW! Great blog today girl…really got me thinking. I needed that! You’re absolutely right, of course. We should be happy BECAUSE we wake up and make the best of the time we’re given.
Great perspective check…thanks again! And keep up the great work! You look amazing!
Hugs,

Aim in Dawn!
I agree with trying to greet the the day with enthusiasim(sp?) sometimes it is easier said then done but I try to remind myself that things could be a lot worse for me as they are for many others…But thank you so much for the reminder!
xoxoxo

Cool Blog!! You are right.. We can all learn something from the dogs!!! Very nice perspective my deep thinking friend!!
Wow, that was an awesome blog. My dogs are almost the same. They are old, and sleep alot. But they love us a bunch in the afternoon!! Its a great concept though. I think I am too much of a pessimist but I will try.. Do I have to wear a collar?
