"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." ~ Edward Hoagland "Dogs and the Tug of Life"
In my quest to become partly a dog, I thought I'd start by checking out how things look from Darby's and Pumpkin's level.
If nothing else, I can tell you that the floors look at lot dirtier and the dust motes are a lot more evident from down there!

Another great post! You have a wonderful imagination!
One of the number one rules when walking the agility course(prior to running it with your dog) is to walk it a couple of times as your dog would see it, instead of just at our own head-level. It saves many an off-course dis-qualification!
This post really hits home :-)....I too love to get down with them and they seem to find it mildly amusing. Alas.... the floor/rugs...oh well :-)
Great quote. Sort of the opposite view from Dead Poet's Society!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
SHE says SHE likes to get down on our level.....but it's the gettin' up that's the problem. BOL!
Taryn, thanks for the compliment -- coming from the Queen of "W's" it means a lot! The dogs do seem amused by us when we get down on their level, huh? And, Daisy, SHE must be a baby-boomer like me--at our age getting down on the floor is WAY easier than getting up.
Love this post mom :)
