31-52: smelling the daisy - a photo on Flickriver

            Agnes: Hey Dave, I don't understand you humans.
Dave: Really? What's not to understand today?
Agnes: Some of the stuff you say.
Dave: The stuff we say?
Agnes: Yup. That and big toes.
Dave: Really big toes? That's one of the big mysteries of humans to a dog?
Agnes: Yup. Don't get them. They're like an underfunded project attempting to put thumbs on feet. Us dogs don't need them and we run twice as fast as you humans do. You guys would be better to stop deluding yourselves about those "thumbs of the feet" and just go with paws.
Dave: That was a surprisingly well thought ought objection to big toes. Now what about the stuff we say?
Agnes: Oh yeah. I don't get the expression "stopping to smell the roses".
Dave: It means making time in your life to enjoy the simple pleasures of things around you.
Agnes: Like eating random greenery?
Dave: Nope. Pretty sure that's a dog thing. And maybe true ruminant animals like cattle and sheep.
Agnes: Then I really don't get the saying. Why bother smelling a rose when we all know eating them hurts because of those thorns. I much prefer daisies. These things both smell good and taste delicious.

Agnes at the cabin enjoying one of the simple pleasures of life. Can't believe how far she has come with her willingness to pose. What you can't see in this photo is my son behind Agnes giving her a chest rub to keep her confident and upright, and my daughter in front of her wiggling the daisy to get her attention. It's good to have photo assistants.
