News Flash | Dogs have souls

I was driving this morning when I heard a phrase on the radio that caught my attention – “Dogs have souls.”  Researchers claim there’s long list of observable emotional and ethical behavior of dogs.  List of behaviors include:

• Dogs have a sense of fair play. They dislike cheaters. They experience joy in play. They delight in friends. Big dogs handicap themselves in games with little dogs.
• Dogs get jealous when a rival gets more or better treats or treatment. They are resentful, unnerved or saddened by unfair behavior. They are made anxious by suspense. They get afraid.
• They are embarrassed when they mess up or do something clumsy. They feel remorse or regret when they do something wrong. They seek justice. They remember the bad things done to them, but sometimes choose to forgive.
• Dogs have affection and compassion for their animal and human friends and family. They defend loved ones. They grieve their losses. They have hope.

WELL DUH~!!!  Did they really need research to prove that dogs have souls?

Westie’s day out to Old Town

I’ve been neglecting my dear husband and our Westie since I’ve been working many sessions on weekends. But this past weekend, I had a rare free morning so we decided to take the dog out to Old Town, Alexandria.

Bentley was really excited to hit Old Town in beautiful Fall weather.

We saw this cool abandoned train tunnel and decided to have some fun around it.

The race


The other side through the tunnel revealed a beautiful neighborhood right along the Potomac River.

The race made Bentley tired. Does anyone else’s dog fall asleep while standing up like this?
