That’s how life is. Some dogs get treats for doing almost nothing, and some dogs are good dogs and get no treats at all. - W. Bruce Cameron

I tried to be comfortable in the rough, cold sand, pressed up against Tutu Nani's leg. I could feel some of the fear leaving her as I lay there, so I didn't try to change position. Having a dog nearby always makes things better.
