A dog's Nirvana is a game of fetch, a stroll on the beach, or both...

I think one of the reasons I enjoy my job as a dogsitter so much is because witnessing pure, unfiltered, unabashed joy is magical. It does wonders for the spirit. And when I'm walking a trio of dogs, my own included, along a beautiful New England beach at sunset, and throwing their beloved ball for them to fetch as we walk, this is what I'm witnessing. The beauty of nature and its beasts doing what they love most.
