“If you go slowly enough, six or seven months is an eternity—if you let it be—if you forget old things, and learn new ones. Even a week can last forever.”
Rick Bass, Winter

"In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."

Day 75: Formula for the Perfect Day

The perfect day, from the dog's point of view:
1.  Watch your people set the table and bring stuff that smells good out of the oven.







2.  Help clean up.
3.  Pop in on the enthusiastic boxer and his people.  While you are there, hunt down the cats.  Then pretend you understand what's going on as the boxer's people tell your people about their remodeling project, and how they have found many things in the walls, including the evidence of an occupant's drinking problem (from the late 19th century), invitations to parties, circa 1899, and a love letter written in 1962 from a boy named James to two girls named Christine.  James + Christine + Christine = hot!  Then deduce that since the letter was in the wall, the Christines were never informed.

4.  Head to the golf course with Milo, the handsome Cavalier King Charles who thinks he's a greyhound.






5.  Run into your BFF, Maya, who has found a green ball and will never give it up.

6.  Beg for treats from Maya's person, Susan.
7.  Find the North Country's scarcest natural resource this February, snow.  Then roll in it and make doggy snow angels.




8.  Pause for a moment to reflect on life's many blessings.

The perfect day, from the dog's person's point of view:
1.  Partake in 1-8 with vigor.
2.  Post about it in your pajamas.
3.  Get ready for bed knowing you will be very rested and ready to tackle all the work on Monday.

Have a great Monday, gentle readers!
