Have you ever read books or e-books written around the theme of “things my dog taught me”? The human never really did, but I’m sure there’s lots of nuggets of truth in them. The other day, our 1stworlddog friend, Bodhi, wrote a list of four things he taught his human. The human here thought it was particularly relevant for her, so we thought we’ll share it over here.
1. Keep your eyes on the rope toy, human! Focus, and you will get there. 
[colour version of this photo on our Instagram, and if you like what you see, follow us there while you’re at it :P]
2. Play should be a part of everyday. And seriously, there are many variations to playing with the rope toy. You should try the kill-shake boogie some time, human.
3. Show appreciation. More treats! *wink wink*
4. Live in the present. Live well today, and tomorrow will come by itself without you worrying about it. ; )
Now go visit Bodhi and read the original version here. ; )
Did you know that some blogs like to post black and white photos on Sundays? Hop, skip, run down to

Love the photos! I think the one of Donna running is great in color and black and white. She looks so happy.
I also love the words to live by. I think those are wise ones. :)

At that moment, she was like “Where’s the toy? Where’s the toy?”… obviously headed for the wrong direction… and then she saw it and went for it. Hoho. Silly girl.
I find the words totally applicable to me when I feel stressed-out and overworked :)
