Things I have learned from my Dog.

When I married my wife, I also got her daughter – a bounding, white, eternal-puppy Lab.

I have come to call her my dog too, which is very nice.

She has taught me a few things that -surprisingly- I have found to be very wise:

- Approach everything with childlike enthusiasm.
- Use your enthusiasm wisely. Too much of it can have the opposite effect.
- Always bring a gift.
- Know when to submit, know when to dominate.
- Get a good run in every day, it is good for you and helps you sleep.
- Always stop before crossing the street and wait until it is safe to do so.
- Try and be good at just one thing. Even if that one thing is Frisbee.
- When meeting strangers in the street, cut to the chase and sniff their crotches. (I don’t do this one so much)
- If you have to go, never just pee in the street. Find a hiding place. Same goes for poop.
- Be polite yet wary of unannounced callers.
- Always wait until it’s polite to eat.
- Don’t lick your genitals in front of other people.
- Be curious.
- Just because vomit may still smell like food, it’s still vomit.
- Know when others want to play, know when others want stillness.
- If you can, go for a nice stroll around the block in the lovely night air just before bed. It helps your dinner settle, maybe moves a few things around in the bowel department, and will leave you in a good headspace to go to bed.
- Radiate love and affection. Others will wear it like a cologne all day long.

Sleep.

I love my sleep.
I miss my sleep when it’s not there.

I miss my dreams when I’m awake, and look forward to them when I lay down like I’m buckling in to a theme-park ride.

Even the bad ones, I relish. It is my brain untangling the Gordian Knot of thoughts of my day.

I know that there are drugs available that make you feel like you’re really awake, but if there was a drug that made me feel like I’d had eight solid hours of shut-eye, I’d be an addict.

As someone who had destroyed my sleep patterns I worked the night shift for five years throughout my early twenties, I covet sleep like I’m breaking a commandment of Moses.

Nap, nigh-nigh, beddie byes. Blissful Slumber.
I love you.
