A Day in The Dog of the Day’s Life!

Our dog, Toby was showcased as the Dog of the Day on Sunday, May 27.  What a beautiful way to celebrate his life, and his legacy. Take a look at the beautiful posting that Pet of the Day wrote up about Toby:  http://dogoftheday.com/archive/2012/May/27.html

Toby on one of his favorite days.... Wednesdays
The day he volunteered as an animal assisted therapy dog.

A day in the life of Toby sort of went like this:

• Wake up, big stretch, smile
• Happy dance and half somersault (they still aren't getting up and out of bed yet....)
• A louder happy dance and dropping a wet tennis ball or goobered stuffed teddy on their face (....now they are awake)
• Two feet on the bed and big wet kisses
• Bark at the sunshine, the air, leaves blowing down the street
• Wolf down breakfast... don't waste a second...it's time to play
• Find the Kong, Frisbee and tennis ball (so they have a selection to throw to me)
• Share some more love and wet kisses
• Bark at the birds, the air, the sunshine.  What a great day!
• Quick nap in the sun.
• Nudge the books on the coffee table and lock myself in the bathroom.
• Flip the toilet seat up and down until help arrives.
• Share more love and wet kisses.
• Quick nap
• And the day and evening pretty much goes that way. A happy, loving, playful dog who seemed to bring 100% of himself to the world every day.

So much to learn from our animals.  The following day, the Pet of the Day wrote a beautiful review about his books, you can read it here:
