A Dogs Life

Millie has it easy. She doesn't have to conquer the world. She isn't expected to do great things with her life. She doesn't need to be the best at anything. The only thing she really needs to do is obey the master.

The master doesn't ask for much; just for her to come when called and to mind her manners in the house. She can chase squirrels and she almost always gets to chase neighborhood cats even though the master's wife doesn't like it. She has a pretty good life. Sometimes I envy her for that.

But then I think about it and I realize that her life isn't all that different from mine - except maybe the chasing squirrels part.
