I have two border terriers, Finlay and Riley (right) and they are the funniest, happiest dogs, though a bit crazy, after all, they are terriers! So, I want to share a story about Riley who is my clown. She's always acting like a goof ball and seems to have a permanent grin on her face. This past Saturday was beautiful outside so we took a long walk. As I was picking up after Fin, Riley started rolling in the grass. She's kind of gross that way, she's the female dog yet she rolls in scents all the time while Finlay hardly ever does that. Go figure. Anyway, she was covered from head to tail in pieces of sod, I mean absolutely covered! She didn't bother to shake it off, just kept walking along like she was modeling the finest haute couture - head held high, prancing right along. That just got me to laughing. Here I am walking down the sidewalk just laughing literally out loud at my dog, telling her how funny she is. Anyone walking by would think I was losing my mind, but that's the beauty of dogs, they make you less self-consicous and more carefree. I can't tell you how many times these two get me to laughing to the point that my stomach hurts! It was my reminder to enjoy the beauty of the day and the comedy of my funny little dog.
