A day in the life of "Bo"
Feeling fresh. The sun is shining, the air is crisp, and I am looking fine. I’m also smelling fine. What is it about the groomers and the shampoo they use? Oh and the liver treats they give! Oooh boy. My owner seems to be happy too, she loads me into the car, making sure to give me extra pats as she buckles me in. As the door closes, I catch a glimpse of her shoes.
Hiking shoes.
In what’s turning out to only be the greatest day ever, we make our way up the windy road, the trees getting thicker and greener the higher we go. With a familiar crunch on the gravel, we stop. My owner opens the door, unbuckles me, and OOF! Onto the ground, ready to explore! We walk and walk with my nose leading the way. We trek higher and higher until we reach the top. This is my favourite bit. We find our tree and sit in the shade and pant for a while. My owner provides endless pats while she reads. There’s no going anywhere now. As I settle down against her, my eyes droop slowly. As I drift away, I start dreaming of those liver treats.
With a soft little ‘Bo, wake up mate!’ from my owner, my eyes open wide to see the sun much lower in the sky. What a DAY. We wander back through the trees to the car, and as we drive home, I notice that my very clean paws are not so clean anymore. Only six weeks to go until more liver treats.
