Life Is Like A Game of Frisbee

As many of you know, I have two puppies in my care now, and I take this responsibility very seriously. Puppies, like most young things, go through a phase where they don't like to be told what to do, so I've developed this list of Frisbee Life Lessons, hoping they will come to see these as basic "truths" to live by.

I thought I'd share these with you, my dear readers, knowing that you will see the value in my little Frisbeeisms, perhaps much more clearly than Sydra and Camden.

1. Keep your eye on the Frisbee
2. It is much easier to pick up a Frisbee when you are NOT standing on it
3. It is hard to bark clearly with a Frisbee in one’s mouth.
4. Spinning in anticipation causes one to lose sight of a flying Frisbee
5. It’s better to have a spectacular miss than to not try to catch the Frisbee at all.
6. Some days, when you least expect it, a gust of wind will lift that Frisbee right out of your reach.
7. Therefore, the quality and style of the “chase” is much more important than the “catch”.
8. Some days, when you least expect it, a gust of wind will push that Frisbee right into your open mouth.
9. Hiding a Frisbee means no one can throw it for you.
10. It’s better to share your Frisbee and have a grand game of chase than to sit on your Frisbee and watch the other dogs play without you.
