there is a list going around

there is a list published in a British paper of 50 things your dogs should get to do in their life time
http://www.realdogsrealpeople.com/50-things-to-do-before-you-die-if-youre-a-dog

My own quick scan of the list suggests my dogs have gotten to do many of them

Creating a list of the things that have brought the dogs or the humans the most joy from that list is easy

1. Flop down in front of a morning fire
2. Go for a swim in the sea (lake for us - but same point)
3. Go mad in the snow
4. Dig up a flower bed
5. Do the 'Beethoven' shake and soak everyone around you
6. Have your own spot on the sofa
7. Accompany your owner on a run/cycle ride
