Buddy #20

Did you ever wonder what dogs think about when they play?
When a dog plays it plays like there is no tomorrow. They run and jump and explode with energy. Buddy gets so focused on playing he forgets where he is sometimes. He will run, jump, zig and zag all over. Sometimes he bounces of trees or walls if in the house. Here in this image, Buddy has a toy that he found in the yard and shook all over the for a long time and he was all by himself doing it. Just living in that moment with tons of energy.
Dogs have no boundaries especially when they play,it's for keeps. There is no half way for them. They focus on playing like it's the most important thing in life... at least for that moment. Playing is just as important to dogs as eating or sleep is.
We humans need to learn from our canine friends. Everything we do should be to the max. My niece Becky has a saying "Go Big or Go Home!". That's how dogs do everything... BIG! Everything that means anything to you should be big... loving, living, playing, give it all you got.
Cheers,
Rob

"Every year, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters; some three to four million of these animals are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them."
Please be a responsible pet owner and have your pet spayed or neutered.
