Dogs are Great

Shadow and Shiner, wait around until I leave the camper, if I don’t do anything but edit pictures or work on the blog, they just lay around. Shadow usually under the RV and Shiner finds a spot in the sunshine.

When I step outside, they both come to life bouncing around and all happy! They don’t even eat their lunch until I stay outside!

No matter if we are going for a walk or I am spending hours cutting trees, these two are usually not too far from my side.

When I rake leaves, they are right there to help, Shadow keeps the tarp warm for me, and Shiner protects leaves by laying where I am trying to rake!

   I wondered what Shadow would do if I started raking leaves on to the tarp…    he just looked at me as if to say, you better not get any of that stuff on me!        

   That was it , I decided to take control of the situation and I told him to get off the tarp, you know what he did… he laughed at me!   

When I was working on the trails they are both  right there to help me do that as well. If I am raking in fresh sand, they are both all too eager to lay in it, if I am working with cement, they can’t wait to run through it and if I am trimming trees with my Silky Saw, they want to stand under the limb I am cutting!

 

Some might ask me how much easier it would be for me to get stuff done if they weren’t around. My answer would be that it wouldn’t be easier at all, without them I would need to be taking happy pills and then I would still be too depressed to put my shoes on each day!

                                Like I said in the beginning, DOGS ARE GREAT!
