Everything I Needed to Learn Came From Kayla
This is our dog, Kayla. (When she’s feeling uppity, she goes by K-La.) She’s a Queensland Heeler with an attitude (you would expect anything else from our dog?). We think she’s gorgeous, the Julia Roberts of her breed. Kayla is a herding dog. We always know when the phones are ringing, the FedEx truck has arrived, people are coming up the walk or the garage door has opened. You can read all about her type at All Things Cattle Dog or at Queensland Heeler Pages.
The main thing I’ve been trying to do the past two weeks is work like a dog. What that means is I lay around most of the time in dappled shade and make sure to get to the kitchen around mealtime. Let’s hear it for the Dog Days of Summer!
“A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.”
Jack London (1876 – 1916)
U.S. Novelist
“Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.”
William Penn (1644 – 1718)
English Colonist
Sounds a good deal like “working like a cat,” which is what I’ve been up to.
