Trail Dog

Hello, there. My name is Leia, as in Princess Leia Organa from Star Wars. I'd like to share why life as a trail dog is simply the best. It's a ruff job, but someone has to do it. As a trail dog, we live entirely in the moment. When I see you, my heart can wag even faster than my tail.

I don't worry about yesterday's squirrel chase or tomorrow bath, I just focus on the sheer joy of right now. Trail dogs are the masters of unconditional love. You could wear mismatched shoes and sing off-key and I would still look at you like you hung the moon. I specialize in boosting morale with a wet nose and a cheerful bark.

I can remind you that life is about the simple pleasures: a perfectly thrown tennis ball, the smell of rain on the sidewalk, a sunbeam slicing across the living room rug. These things are pure magic to me. I can find joy in a chewed up frisbee for at least 20 minutes. Plus, I have a built-in and ready-made excuse for everything.

It's a dog thing. Ate the last slice of pizzeria? Dog thing. Left white fur on a black couch? Dog thing. Slept through the alarm. Definitely a dog thing. So as you ponder your complex thoughts, remember the best way to live is with a happy tail and a heart full of love.
