Enjoy the small things

A dog knows

the pleasures

of big dreams

and small treasures

He carries a torn piece of cardboard between his teeth.  Takes it to first one and then another corner of the yard.  Retraces his steps in indecision until just the right place is finally found.  He buries the cardboard in a pot plant, nosing a hole in the soil and covering it again.  We laugh as he comes over. He wags his tail and places his dusty nose onto our laps.  He is full of joy at this tiny treasure.
