30 Mar Chad’s Blog: how to Listen to Your Dog
A couple of years ago we decided to add a member to our family. After months of looking around, we finally found a little chocolate lab puppy and named him Bear. Since then, he’s been on many adventures with us — boating, hiking, paddleboarding, camping. Like most labs, Bear will take off and jump into any lake, river, or ocean whenever he gets a chance. He’s also pretty happy just hanging around the backyard.
That’s the great thing about dogs — going anywhere outdoors is an adventure. Even a walk around the block can be the most exciting part of their day. They are so in-tune with nature and everything around them. Their heightened sense of smell tells them so much about what’s going on, what’s blooming, what’s alive, what’s dead, and….Bear get that out of mouth, please. They also love to check their pee-mail all the time.
I can’t blame Bear for wanting to get out all the time. Just like me, he just needs to get out and Do florida, and so should you. Listen to your dog and take him out. Often. Even if it’s for a cup of coffee.
So, get out and Do florida!
