Sharing

I have spent some time watching a couple of dogs play over the last few weeks. One is quite small, a chihuahua and dachshund mix named Mick. The other is an eight month old Labrador retriever named Spirit. Spirit will lay on the ground and let Mick pin her then push him off and chase her around the house a few times. Then they'll come back and Mick will get under anything low so Spirit can't get to him and the next thing you know Mick is chasing her around the house. I often see them carrying the same large stick from the wood pile back to their favorite spot in the shade. They even share the same food and water bowls. I think we could take some lessons from these two. They look very different and are hugely different in size and yet they not only get along, they manage to have lots of fun at the same time. I think maybe I will join them, go roll in the grass or help them play fetch, besides I throw better than they do.
