Learn from the Dogs

Learn from the Dogs
I have a little walking companion. Sydney. She's a
pug/beagle mix and she's a fired up, always excited little
hound. During the day when Syd is at home she spends a good
part of the day doing what dogs do, sleeping. She usually
does that up in my daughter's bedroom. Then there's the
time when it's time to go.

I go to the bottom of the stairs and whistle and I can
immediately hear her feet hit the floor and she comes down
the stairs with tail waggin and this happy look on her
face. Who said that animals don't smile?

So then we go through the ritual. I go in the garage and
get her collar and leash and she comes into the kitchen all
excited to go. She knows it's time to go on the daily
stroll and she's ready. I often hear people say that
animals are dumb and have no emotions or feeling. Well I'm
hear to tell you that a lot of animals are smarter then a
lot of people. You see, animals just get after it. The get
after it that I'm talking about is they move whenever the
opportunity presents itself . Not only do they move but
they move with a passion and conviction.

As I go through my day and come in contact with the many
people that I get to meet I wonder about this dumb animal
thing. Seems to me that it's not so much that they know
something that we don't, you have to move to stay healthy,
but they're smart enough to do it whenever the opportunity
exists.

This country needs some movement and we need it on a large
scale. We need adults to buy into it so that they can teach
their children how to do it. Sitting on one's arse and
expecting that you can do nothing and eat whatever you want
is not the answer if you're planning to live a long,
productive life.

During my life I've heard sick people say, " If I only had
my health". So how much is it worth? If you don't have
your health you know how difficult it can be.. If you do
have your health you better do what you can to keep it.
Whatever your case try to do something to make yourself
stronger. It will affect your health in a positive way.

Get yourself in motion. Do what the animals do to stay
healthy and fit. Move and move with passion.
