Dog with Stick: Sitting Just Quietly Under the Trees

Lilah chews on a stick

 

In one of my favorite childhood books, Ferdinand the Bull by Munro Leaf, the main character doesn’t want run and jump and butt their heads together. Instead he likes to sit just quietly under the trees and smell the flowers.

Lilah reminds me a lot of Ferdinand; she’s silent and peaceful, a zen dog who is content in the moment, to just be.

One of the reasons I enjoy living with three dogs is that I watch them experience the world through three completely different perspectives.

Peripatetic and tightly-wound Tucker lives for thrill of the chase and the fun of the game.

Jasper — our comfort hound — is everybody’s best friend, even if he just met you 30 seconds ago.

And Lilah is content to sit just quietly under the trees and shred sticks.

Do your pets remind you of any book characters?

    Ah yes, Ferdinand. One of our favorites! I’m probably most like Oliver Twist: “Please, Sir, can I have some more?” *wags* Gilligan from WagsAhoy.com
