“The Labs canter, like mustangs on a prairie, right into the sometimes significant as well as powerful waves. strong as well as fearless, they paddle out unhesitatingly toward their target, then return toting spheres or sticks, sometimes a piece of driftwood. They emerge, shake off the water, as well as refocus, prepared to take the plunge once again as well as again. They don’t play with or even notice other dogs or people, their excited eyes fixed on their owners as well as masters, to see in which direction they’ll toss the prize.”
– A dog Year: Twelve months, four dogs, as well as me, by Jon Katz
Guys, this excerpt explains my ball-crazed mutt perfectly, as well as beautifully. I just recently re-read A dog Year (aff link) and I liked it just as much the second time.
I hope you all head out with your dogs for much-needed adventures this weekend. have a wonderful time.
