July 8. Be a Kid
Again Day. That’s a cool idea. Humans should try it. Go play on a swing. Go for a bike ride and ring the bell. A lot.
Go down a slide. Build a fort. In
the middle of the living room – with small tables and a blanket. Play hopscotch. Run through a sprinkler on
the lawn. Read a comic book. Go fishing.
Play softball – in the backyard.
Play hide and seek. Run
around. And around. Until you fall down.
Note that these are the things my human would have done as a
kid. No mention of smart phones, video
games or laptops. I think things were
simpler when she was a kid 150 years ago.
And if I went back to MY puppyhood, what would I do? Fetch a ball.
Dig in the garden. Bark at
birds. Beg for treats. Do zoomies.
Pee in the house. Hey – most of
those things I STILL do. Except for the
pee in the house part. We dogs live
simpler lives, with reckless abandon. Just like kids.
Haven’t I always said, we are smarter than humans??? More evidence. Clearly we have more training that we need to
do with you. We'll keep working on it.
Have wonderful playful day!!
