The Simple Life With Dogs
I recently saw this video of a Husky dog playing around in autumn leaves and you can hear the owner laughing in the background while he was shooting the video. It made me think about the simple life dogs can give us when we are with them.
Whenever I spend time with my two Lhasa Apso dogs Chester and Roxie at home whether just making sure that they are fed, groomed and loved by sitting with them or playing with them, it’s those times that make my forget about anything else that is going on in my life.
I instantly forget about business or what bills I have to pay or what other things I have to do in the next few days. The moment is just about me and my dogs, nothing else. Life is super simple and uncomplicated during those quality times with dogs.
Dogs Make You Forget About Complications
The same happens when I take my dogs out for a walk or to the dog park. Owners at the dog park just stand around and watch their dogs run around and play. Our pets have our complete attention and it makes us forget about the complications in life.
This is perhaps why dogs are so good for us and our own emotional well being. If we keep them happy and healthy, being with our dogs in turn does the same thing to our own well being.
Check out the Husky dog video below and you will see that there is nothing complicated about it. Just a dog having a lot of fun with a giant pile of autumn leaves. No expensive equipment needed and the owner loving every moment just watching his beloved pet. It’s a moment in time that they both treasure and that is what us dog owners experience too all the time with our dogs.
Ah, the simple life with dogs!
Of course, this would only be true if your dog is well trained. Untrained dogs would not make life simple!
