lessons dogs teach us

dogs have the life. they don't have to work.

i always feel bad leaving bailey in her crate when i leave for work. today i realized, i'm basically doing the same thing to myself, sticking myself behind a desk hours. at least the dog has a toy to play with and basically just sleeps all day.

somedays i just want to curl up in a ball on the couch.

(my parents dog, george. he always was a little off. )

when i went home for lunch i took bailey to doggy day care. she didn't even know she was going, she was just so excited to be in the car on an adventure. she had a big stupid grin on and her tongue hanging out and i thought, everyone should be this excited to go somewhere. and when we got to day care she would have opened the door herself if she could have. one time she tried to jump out the back windshield she was so excited to be there.

lesson to self: take pleasure in the small stuff. go somewhere! get yourself out of that box of a desk and do something!

my first blog.

i don't have anything profound or deep to say yet. i'm starting a blog because i'm a copy cat. i've stumbled upon some friend's blogs lately and thought...hey i want to do that too. i'm also starting it because i'm kind of bored. i want to start doing more with my life and this blog will hold me accountable.

on a lighter note...meet bailey, my dog.

she is good for laughs, hugs, and apparently helping me paint.

she is a super dog who is helping me keep running. seriously, she could do more miles if only her slow owner could! she is part ant eater (tounge) and part hyena (brindle coat). i can be having the worst day and i'll go home for lunch to walk her. those bouncy ears get me every time and put a smile on my face.

anyways, this isn't a blog about bailey. just don't ask me what it's about...yet!
