Oh to be a Dog!

  I remember the days when I could walk into the woods, strip out of my clothes and go for a swim in the pond. I didn't worry about snakes. I didn't worry about disease carrying mosquitoes. I didn't worry about whether  there was lightning flashing in the skies. All I worried about was how fun it was to swim and splash in the water and laugh with friends. Now, as an adult, the worries outweigh the benefits so its nice to live vicariously through our dogs who still believe the fun of splashing in the water rules out every other concern one may have in life.
