We have all been craving sunshine after the rotten weather mother nature has sent our way this April. Those fleeting moments when we have actually seen that big orange ball in the sky have been far too few. However, I think Jet has missed it most of all. My dog is a sun worshipper in the extreme. She can be found lying on the kitchen floor in the one narrow beam of sun that has streamed through the window - basking in its glory.
On the hottest day in the summer she is likely to have positioned herself on the hot flag stone in front of the aluminium storm door enjoying her own makeshift tanning bed. Of course another option is to 'plant' yourself in a flower pot with nice warm earth - amazing how small one can make themselves by curling up in a neat little ball...ah heaven.
So when I arrived home yesterday after a very long tiring day that was not about to end as I had to head out to teach two classes at my obedience club, my father's announcement of 'guess what your dog did today" was meet with some trepidation. As it turned out, he just had to tell me that he should have taken a picture as when he looked out in the backyard in the afternoon moment of sun, there was Jet doing her best 'road kill' imitation stretched out on her side - all four legs pointing straight out - basking in the rays. Ahhhhhh sheer heaven!
Try to find a moment today to savour the sunshine...I hear it is supposed to rain AGAIN tomorrow!
My terrier plays road kill in the sun too!
