It's sunny in Portland today. So, instead of laying around inside the house napping and waiting to be entertained, Winter get's to be outside in the back yard for a few hours. Being a mellow creature she lies on the porch, tilting her head occasionally, absorbing all the smells and sounds that drift her way.
For prints or downloads go here.
The gentle breeze and ambient noise of the neighborhood bring all kinds of smells and sounds through the backyard. So, her senses are used in a way that sitting in the sensory-sterile environment of the house can't provide. While this is no walk through the neighborhood or the mountains, she still gets to read her neighborhood newspaper and therefore get a little brain stimulation.
If her senses are working then her brain is also. An active brain is a happy and mature brain.
But for those days you and your dog can't get outside here's a link to some fun dog games.
