The Secret

Sometimes ... most times ... I wish I could possess the abandon of our canine friends. They live in the moment, act on impulse 99% of the time, and are blessed with the gift of a clear conscience. I live vicariously through the dogs because I do not possess the gifts of speed, agility, power, sight and scent that bless their lives. I am privileged to be privy to their world and I can only hope, in my flawed way, that whatever I offer them; a roof, a warm place to sleep, regular meals, treats, stimulated play time, trust, safety, leadership and unconditional love ... is enough to thank them for the wonder they bring me every day.
