City Dog - Lake Dog

Welcome to "Come Together"

In an earlier blog post dated April 11, 2016 I explained why our lake house is affectionately know as "Come Together".  It is all about family and friends spending quality time together in an environment that is conducive to enjoying nature and being grateful for the ability to do so.  When I speak of "family" I am not just referring to people but that term also includes our four legged canine house pets.  As you know by now Tobi (house pet) and I have a city house which is our primary residence and the lake house as our favorite second home.  Tobi is a "string dog" meaning she is one of those dogs who needs a leash due to selective hearing and a stubborn demeanor.  So when we are out walking in the city she is restrained for her safety and my peace of mind.  When the city dog becomes a lake dog the "string" is no longer necessary and the freedom of that is a wonderful thing. 
Being a lake dog for Tobi means freedom from the leash and she is no longer a city "string" dog.  She can run wild, hunt, forage and roll in those nasty things dogs like to roll in.  It gives the humans in the family great joy to see her exercise that freedom with wild abandon.  To experience freedom like that at the lake through the heart of Tobi is another one of life's little pleasures.  You can see in the Lake Dog photo just what I mean.  This one was taken after one of her running, foraging, rolling spells just minutes after arriving at Come Together one day last summer.

We should all take a little advice from the actions of our house pets and learn to live life to the fullest when we can find freedom in any form.  So take a little advice from Tobi......when you get released from your "string"......run with the wind and find your freedom.  Life should be enjoyed and we should be grateful for the moments of freedom we are given.  So whatever your "string" is do not let it rule you when it comes off.  Life it too short and precious not to take the advice of a pure little heart. So find your desires and embrace them to the fullest and be grateful for the opportunity to do so.
