Fall Fun with a Furry Friend
Kick up your heals, head for the trails, and soak in the sights, smells and flavors of the emerging fall season. At least, that is what this furry and friendly pup is suggesting, by taking up a game of fetch in the leaves, donning a smart sweater, and fully engaging in the fun of being outdoors enjoying a beautiful fall day.
We can all benefit from the subtle advice these furry friends offer us: by encouraging us to get outdoors, take that walk, breath in the fresh air, be adventurous, take time to play (and take naps!), be a little carefree, have an occasional treat, and most of all make people smile!
