"Dog Tired" 8 by 10 inch watercolor on paper, ©Maria Reichert
Don't you admire the ability of dogs to express themselves so freely?!  When they are happy they play, when they have missed you when you are away, they wiggle and wag, and when they are tired they lay down their heads and sleep.  After a long day on the boat, Sox laid her head on the bench seat of the truck and slept, so tired and peaceful and happy.  Why can't I keep things that simple?

    Good job with Sox! Animals have it right; we do seem to SO complicate our lives
