Fridays are Golden

When Ellie runs she is a beauty in motion, her long silky hair flowing and a smile on her face.  She is our marathoner, not running terribly fast but paced to go the distance.  She pays little attention to Lucy sprinting back and forth.  She runs at her own speed, loving every minute of it.  Lucy runs more like a rabbit, with both front legs taking off, followed by both rear legs.  Ellie is more like a trotting horse, taking the distance at a gallop.

I love it when we first get out of the car!

That silly Lucy misses so much by zipping by everything.

Better speed up a little to see what Dad is doing.

I love running up and down steps.

But mostly, I just love being off leash and running wherever I want.

The month of May is flying away faster than our dogs can run.  The weather is crazy all over the country.  Here in our area of the NC mountains we are having temperatures much above normal with high humidity.  It's not much fun to be outside for very long.  Evenings bring thunderstorms, often with hail but the storms do not cool off the evening air.  It was an unheard of 72 degrees last night at 9:00 pm when I took the dogs out.

I leave you this Friday with a quote that is familiar to all of you.  We hear it, we know it, but this weekend let us all try to live it:

Attributed to Mark Twain:

Dance like nobody's watching,

Love like you've never been hurt,

Sing like nobody's listening

And live like it's heaven on earth.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, EVERYONE!
