Be more Dog

I lost a friend this week.

Not my dog, but a regular, welcome visitor.

(Does anyone ever own a dog - or do they just choose to hang out with us?)

Here's some of what what I learned from him:

• That a fire is interesting, not just for warmth.

• That a stick is interesting.

• Actually, most everything is interesting.

• That joy is an attitude.

• That friendship doesn't care what you look like.

• ....and is unconditional.

• That walking in the rain is as good as walking in the sunshine. Just soggier for a while.

• That stoicism is cool.

We could all benefit from being more Dog.

Rock on Sweep.
