two sundays ago, while (not) waiting for me to take a photo, atlas managed to hobble a back paw while wrapping the leash around and around a front paw and felled himself like a tree on some very prickly grasses. he cried. i had to quickly climb up the ledge and rescue him (from himself).

this past sunday, atlas flung himself down on every single patch of green grass in the yard and wriggled around on it with glee.

on monday night, atlas saw ten deer in the three mile drive home from the lake. he has been running in his dreams ever since.

  1. glimpses into atlas’s world
    how i love him!

  2. Perhaps dogs live in the moment and dream in the past. Not a bad prescription for life.

  3. Oh, how I LOVE this sweet boy of yours… I think Jerry’s wisdom above has something to it. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))

    Yay for grass, Atlas!

  6. I love how much furry hearts
    can teach us:) A happy roll
    in the grass is one of life’s
    sweet pleasures…I love watching
    my big loopy lab celebrate her
    muchness with a joyful wiggle
    on her back. Nudges me to
    celebrating the simple things:)
