I got a video from Dexter’s mom this week in which he was playing with a toy without a care in the world.  When we met Dexter he was 5 years old.  He is a little over 10 years old now, and he looked so happy and much older that I remembered.  That video made me think.  Why we, humans, are so worried about getting old?  I know we have to plan for the future, that’s a given, but many of us worry for no particular reason.  I do think that dogs live in the moment, something we humans find somewhat difficult to do, and so I’d say to you, do what makes you happy, and learn from your dogs.  Carpe Diem people!
