Dogs are the mainstay in so many people's lives.
For instance, I was just down at the pier by the ocean where I live, beautiful morning... for 6:30 am a lot of people were out and about. I was helping set the course for the annual Surf Monkey race. Did a nice paddle (4 miles, only half of the 8 mile course) but hey... we were measuring right!
Anyway, it's way cool down by the beach early in the morning and one of the best things was watching all the people walk their dogs. As I sat at an outside coffee stand and sipped on my latte I watched people walk up and down the strand by the beach, not only getting exercise for their dog, but for themselves.... in the long run a life saver for anyone.. that thing called exercise.
A man stopped and started talking to my friend and I. He must have just picked us out as dog people cause we certainly are. He's told us all about his dog's and the one comment he made that really struck me was, "I make sure to get out with them every day. They need it. So do. And so far the only thing that has worked out for me is the dogs."
Dogs are so deep in our souls sometimes we don't even realize it.
It's a very cool thing, unconditional love & getting out for some fresh air....
