I take for granted all too often how convenient and enjoyable it is to have a dog that can fit so seamlessly into all modes of our life.
There’s the adventurous mode when we’re in the timber or out on the water for the day as a family. And there she is, happy as a clam to be a part of the excitement.
Then there’s the down-time, after long days of work, where snuggling and low-energy interactions are so sweet and welcome. And there she is, offering gentle kisses and cuddling with the kids on the couch.
Then there’s the high-energy, chaotic days of fast and furious “need-to-do’s” where we need a dog to just chill, be present, unphased and out of the way. And there she is, napping amongst the power tools and myriads of people coming and going while we work feverishly against a deadline, welcoming a “Good Dog” or “Hi, beautiful” every now and then that a human sees an opportunity for a needed mental pause.
We have several good dogs in our program. Lozen is one of them. But her and a few others just seem to fit. I don’t know how else to describe these canines any more accurately than simply “Good Dogs.”
