Would have been faster with traction but that backdrop was slippery!

Sure, why not.
Stretch the legs and get some fresh air.

I would assume this trait is genetic since it is essential for their survival before they were domesticated. There may have been slow dogs but I assume that they became a meal for faster predators.
My dog, a much prettier Anatolian, does it just like that. Tuck, roll, launch. He can go from apparently asleep to red shift in the blink of an eye at the yip of a coyote, his favorite flavor of chew toy. No prey animal he. 🙂

I thought it was funny that both dogs stuck their tongues out as they started moving forward.

I’ve never seen my Shannon get up.
One minute she’s stretched out on the floor and a nanny second later she’s on her back legs by door wanting to go somewhere. It’s magic!

LATE LIGHT by Klahn
Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.

My feet are on the hilltops.

My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.

Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.

I have been to hell and back many times.

I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.

I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.

I know the passionate seizure of beauty

And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
 in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Thanks Gerard. I needed to see something amazing or beautiful this morning. April is Both.
April clearly loves her Daddy. Submissive ears, eyes and posture when she is near him.
