Dog sense

By Mike Hall, February 1, 2017

‘You think I’m taking a nap. No, I see you rushing around like your hair’s on fire.

It’s like your middle name should be ‘pressed for time.’

If I could talk, I’d tell you to ease off a bit…that you seem to be your best self on walks with me.

Especially those times when you forget the cell phone that is constantly affixed to your ear. You seem so wrapped up in…no, controlled by, these gadgets that us dogs find so amusing.

We believe you’d be more content without them…that being so connected to others makes you disconnected from yourself.

I know that I’m just a dog but some things are really clear to me.

Like, you ought to laugh more and not take yourself so seriously.

And, you should get outside more. Hint…hint. My leash is right there on the steps.’
