Play Hard, Sleep Hard, and Get Your Toes Dirty Every Chance You Can...

I believe that most of the souls that pass through our lives do so for a reason. Sometimes the reasons are obvious and profound, sometimes the lessons so subtle we don't even realize that we have learned them.

I think I've figured out at least one of the reasons Bet has come to share my life.
She's trying to teach me to relax. I know - a border collie?? Aren't they renowned for being hyperactive?? Well, Bet is a high energy gal that plays hard but she is also very adept at resting well.


Really well...




I've figured out the high energy/playing hard stuff - but as any of you that have spent more then a day with me know, I'm not good at the 'resting hard' part.

Bet is setting a positive example for me....





She tells me the secret to life is simple -

Play hard,

Rest hard,

and Get Your Toes Dirty Every Chance You Can...






Smart dog, that Bet.

I'd be tired too if I ran around the puppies kennels as much as Bet does in a day.

Bet you're a funny dog, its to bad you didn't want to be my friend.

We never do know how we're going to get the "messages" that we need to. The important thing is hearing/seeing the message when it comes. Glad you didn't miss this one.
