I've had my Black Lab 'mix' for two and a half years already, and she brings us so much joy. We wake in the mornings to her insistent efforts to rouse us from our bed, experiencing a cold, wet, large black nose in our face as the first recollection of the day. A 5 a.m. walk follows, which usually involves a bunny sighting and the lingering scent of a raucous brown squirrel that has run up and down the large Douglas Fir out in the country lane. A lot of crunching sounds reach my ears as the dog breakfast is wolfed down, and then the long, lazy nap-filled days of a country dog begins.
Juno makes sure that she budgets adequate time for long, lazy dog naps. She moves around the house, finding the best spots for the best views of what she wants to check up on. The dining room sliding doors offer a panoramic view of both back yards, and after jumping up on the couch in the living room, she has a great view of the street and country road that runs alongside our property.
When we went to see her at the dog shelter for the first time, she was quiet and subdued. Her biography described her as "a couch potato who likes to ride in the car". It was a very accurate description!
Juno reminds us to slow down, enjoy ourselves, and live The Slow Life.
