July 8. Be a Kid Again Day. That’s a cool idea. Humans should try it. Go play on a swing. Go for a bike ride and ring the bell. A lot. Go down a slide. Build a fort. In the middle of the living room – with small tables and a blanket. Play hopscotch. Run through a sprinkler on the lawn. Read a comic book. Go fishing. Play softball – in the backyard. Play hide and seek. Run around. And around. Until you fall down.
Note that these are the things my human would have done as a kid. No mention of smart phones, video games or laptops. I think things were simpler when she was a kid 150 years ago.
And if I went back to MY puppyhood, what would I do? Fetch a ball. Dig in the garden. Bark at birds. Beg for treats. Do zoomies. Pee in the house. Hey – most of those things I STILL do. Except for the pee in the house part. We dogs live simpler lives, with reckless abandon. Just like kids. Haven’t I always said, we are smarter than humans??? More evidence. Clearly we have more training that we need to do with you. We’ll keep working on it.
Have wonderful playful day!!
