They say a dog is a man’s best friend so how did I end up with a mule?
His hiking days are numbered,,
but
then again, he’ll catch a deer or a coyote,
If in his path.
We all have our job to do
and every dog has its day it’ true,
and and so do we but YOU were supposed to
drag my ass up the hill,. .
So be the best version of yourself,
that you can be.
You can run uphill but If you’re a bulldog,
you’ll never beat a greyhound.
So, show us what you’ve got,
You may wish you were a cavalier or a poodle
but it’s not your DNA
and you can’t turn back time.
This is a human condition, animals don’t care.
Grin and bear it,
be who you are but dammit
I didn’t buy a mule
So DON’T………
make me turn you in for a vizsla,
I’m too lazy for that.
Have a great Friday and weekend ahead!
Blessings to you and all you love.
💖
Cindy


Dogs are such incredible beings. Lol. Aww. He looks like he’s smiling!
They are as you so know with you adorable one. I think it’s the “make up”. I love that face-;)
🙏🐶💕
Is your furry friend being a little obstinate Cindy?! 😛
Sweet pup
Thanks,, he is… he would like your sweet one I bet! 💕🐶🐶
Happy weekending Cindy ☺️☀️🐶sending joy ~ hedy

A cute poem Cindy.
Thanks Sadje!💕❤️🙏
You’re welcome my friend
💖😎🌹
💝💝💝

You are too funny! Loved it!! 😊😘😍💕🌹
I know right Chuck! Too bad it’s true! 😂 It is truer than I’d like! 🙏💕🙏
Dogs are fun, and mules are cool. Have you ever ridden a mule?
They are but He is tricky there’s days. I have, have you?
I thought of getting one actually but thought twice.
I used to ride horses and mules a lot when I was a kid up into my early 20s. I haven’t been on a horse or mule since.
Oh that’s very cool!
Wow!
I did the grand canyon on one but it was scary!!!
I’ve walked to the bottom of the Grande Canyon and back several times, but again, it’s been years.
Good for you… I was more scared walking some of those edges than I was on the mule actually. I have only been there once
I’ve been there several times over the years. We also did some of the off-beat hikes that had narrow trails with long drops on one side and cliff walls on the other. Those trails were a little nerve-racking.
Very funny poem, Cindy!
Thanks Dawn… somethings it’s not funny when I walk hime though/ drag him I should say! 🙉
Love this. Our Golden was a handful this trip.
Oh thanks … I had a golden too. They are the best! 💕
We have a rough one.
oh my … that’ hard!
Happy Friday!! I feel a little mulish today, not as in stubborn, but just not into racing anyone today! Maybe I’m stubbornly slowing down. Enjoying the scenery and all the pretty pups on my morning walks. Love your pic! 💞🐾💞
You too, thanks!
Lol!!! 😂 I soo feel you Trisha!
I’m with you! Oh that’s sweet!
Sooo glad you are slowing down and enjoying the pup 🐶 dogs! Xoxo
Have to stop and pet the dogs as I like to say! 😅
Awwww YES FOR SURE!!💕

Cute poem Cindy! Hunter seems too happy to pose
Thanks Sheereen! He does.. just like we were in our pics. 😂😎😎😂
Hahaha! Let’s FaceTime soon
Yes, for sure💖💖
Yup, it’s been really long since we had a conversation properly
It’s so true!!! I keep waiting for things to slooooow down. It’s always all or nothing in life but always something. 🤷♀️😎💖
Hahaha! Work likes you. I like your spirit though. Things don’t slow down neither does time. Let me know whenever you are free
Starting the 2nd phase of the remodel and now have to pack up that stuff. We carry on right. It’s sooooo true.. Too bad you can’t help me virtually lol.. well since you have a dip in the action., 💖😂
Wow! The process is going on fast. Hopefully it gets completed before the wedding. I wish I could help you and have fun shifting n packing thinngs😉😃
It really is. It won’t 😂😂 so we will have to hide everything. hahaha. Meeee too. I so wish!.. I have to purge more ..
Hahaha! What if the guest find a huge collection of unwanted things under the centre table for cake?🤭
hahahhaha they just might! 😂
I rode a mule once into the Grand Canyon. Took me a few days to recover. I stick with dogs, thank you. I never wrote a poem to a dog however. Not sure mine would have appreciated it, unless it came with a hotdog. Anything was okay then, unless I tried to slip a pill into it. My basset hound would spit it out and glare at me. Not much poetry there. 🙂 –Curt
Oh yay it def gets you in muscles you didn’t know you had!! That’s how I drag Hunter up the hill with a little treat and he’s only 9. Oh you had a smart dog alright! They really are in charge as much as we try to be.
sure you could make poetry…
I Had a basset that ate hot dogs
but choked on it, if ladened with a pill.
He’d glare at me and spit it out.
Oh for the ungrateful hound.
There , now you have one. 😹😹
Thanks Curt!💖💖
Happy fun Friyayyy!!! LOVE this poem, Cindy. Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures. Hunter is so adorable with his loving kisses💕😍😍😍💕. I am so happy to have found you on reader today, you are back on track, my friend. Have a wonderful weekend.💕
Happy Fri-Yayyyyy to you too Grace. Oh glad you like it and Hunter is Love, even if he is a mule.. 😂, Oh that makes me sooooo happy … Yayyyyy! I almost didn’t post cuz I didn’t want to deal with the whole thing if there was an issue. I’m glad it’s all good. Thanks a lot Grace and have a great one too!!! 💖💖🌹🌹😎💖
Too funny, Cindy! Drag my a.. up the hill. Who is dragging whom? LOL
It’s so true!!
I need a lift not more work!!
Lordy. I will have to get another dog at some point for walking but not now with so much going on!
😝thanks for checking in!
Aww what a cute picture of you and Hunter and loved the poem as always 😍
Awww thanks a lot!!!
He is a cutie and glad you liked the poem-:)💕🙏
You’re always welcome 🥰🥰
💖😘😘
Now you know you love him 💕😂
Yes, for sure!! 💖💖💖
Hi Cindy – hunter is cute and I liked your thoughts – esp
About the bulldog can’t beat a greyhound up…
—
Thanks Yvette!!! Glad you liked the poem,., Good thing he’s so cute!! 💖💖😹
He is so cute
And your post today reminded me of this fun dog comic!
Hahahahaha., that’s so cute. how we see ourselves until we actually see our reflection. 😂😂
Hahaha
😂😂😂
And here is another one – just for fun!!
That is too cute and appropriate for the helicopter parents for sure!!!💖💖💖
☀️😊
💕🥰
Nice poem, and beautiful photo, Cindy 👍💕🙂
Thanks so much Saima! 💖💖
Awwww poor Hunter! Have a lovely holiday weekend, sweet girl! Sending you lots of positive energy! (And Hunter, too!) 🌞
Thanks my dear Lisa.. RU kidding me.. he’s lucky i put up with him.. 😂 good thing he’s so cute and you too 😂😂😂. thanks for the love and hugs and back at you always,. When are you visiting? 💖
I learn many things from you Cindy. I had to look up Vizsla. It is a great looking breed. I’m glad you cutting some slack for good old Hunter. Have a great day and weekend!
Oh and I from you! It’s a funny name and I had never heard of it either until clients had them. They barely shed which is nice and are active. I might end up with one, since it would keep me in shape. Oh Hunter is amazing and a good protector so I have to cut him some slack. I will! You do the same!! 💖💖💖💖
What a handsome dog, Cindy! Love the poem and the photos. <3 Have a fabulous weekend!
Oh thanks so much Cheryl! I remember when I saw him thinking the same thing with all of his “make up” face markings.. He was adorable then and now, just stubborn. Thanks and you do the same. 💖
A lovely poem, with a wonderful message, as always, my dear. Cute pics too! 💖
Thanks so much Jeff and glad you liked the message and my pics! 💖💖
Oh and I from you! Probs like one o your Jets, I’d never know the name of. It is and you never know, I might end up with one, since it would keep me in shape. Oh Hunter is amazing.. Thanks and I will! You do the same!! 💖💖💖💖
What is the best version? Quiet, bark when needed?
That sounds like a good version to me. In Hunter’s case it’s bark like hell to scare you and then once he knows your good. he leans in for pets and won’t leave you alone.
Sounds a lot like our own Pluto.
so true but maybe better than being “Goofy” 😂
I am the Goofy here. 😎
Hhahahaahha. You are a good Goofy!@ 💖
Great poem Cindy! 🤩 late to the party, but I hope it was a good Fri-yay ❤️
You’re here in just the right time… I was just thinking of you.. “I need to be late to the party to get some stuff done”. Thanks making strides. and i hope yours was too. Have a great weekend!! 💖
🙌 I just need a rest 🤪😅❤️
I reckon we are what we be’s 😊
said so well! 💖💖
Thank you 🙏🏻
“They say a dog is a man’s best friend so how did I end up with a mule?
Easy. You’re a woman 😅
Hahahahaha… 😂 Good one! Come to think of it, he’s a lot like my husband and he does like to walk with him. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
💖
💖💖😂
I had some rides on horses or mules in hilly tracks, but never felt comfortable. But dogs are truly most adorable and faithful. Thank you, Cindy for sharing this cute poem. Have a wonderful fun-filled weekend 🎉💐🌹💖
Best to stick to what you are comfortable with for sure. Dogs truly are incredible and so loyal. You’re welcome and glad you liked it KK.. thank you! Have a great weekend as well!!💖💖
You’re more than welcome, Cindy 💖💐
💖🌷
💖💖🙏🙏🌼
💖🙏🙏
YAY!! Another fab fun post! Loved it, Cindy! This line really got me: “You can run uphill but If you’re a bulldog, you’ll never beat a greyhound”. Did you come up with that yourself or is it a well-known saying? If it’s one of yours, kudos to you for a creating a great line. If it’s not, kudos to you anyway just for using it! Fab!! 🌟 👏🏼 💕
You know it Nancy and Thanks so much! I’m not sure if I’ve every heard it before but it certainly worked her. Thanks so much my friend!!💖. Happy Weekend to you! 💖
very sweet and wise (as always), Cindy
<3

Dogs love you but they really like doing their own thing. Just let them out the door and they will be everywhere at once! Looks like he will make a better watchdog than a mule!
YES, THAT’S EXACTLY IT DWIGHT! That’s for sure he will. When the remodel is done… we’ll get another dog.. one to hike.. and he’ll be happy to have a friend but not sure of my cats! 💖
Sounds like a plan! :>)
💕👏👏
Lovely poem, Cindy😄
Thanks so much Deeksha!💖💖
We just want a friend, A REAL friend.
Because even after the internet is shutdown, it stay with us.
Have a peaceful, satisfying and lovely day, Cindy.
Yes, that part is true and they are always there. Peace to you too Lokesh!
It’s good to see you!
Hugs!💕🌺

I think a Vizsla would be too frisky for me too Cindy … my Frankie the Cavoodle is easy going and easy paced, he suits my slow limpy gait just right … 🤗🌏😍🐶😉

I know me too. I saw one yesterday at the beach with Hunter where he comes alive. The dog end circles around both of us! But she did say he drags her up the hill. I would like that!
Frankie is so cute and the perfect temperament for you.. and adorable! Thanks Ivor💕
Haha .. I think I would have to carry Frankie up a steep hill 😃💕🌏
😂💕therein lies the problem. Can you imagine me carrying 60 lb Hunter up the 😱
Frankie is about 22 lb 🤗🌏
big for a little guy.. like my Harry.. that died.. my cavey. 💖
Yep .. that’s Frankie 🐶🤗🌏
Sweet Boy! 💖💖
Life is full of uncertainties which shapes our personality.
Nice post ❤️
Absolutely true!! Thanks so much!! 💕
He’s a beautiful animal, Cindy. Mine is a rescued Bichon mix who thinks she is a Pitbull. Have a wonderful 4th! 🤗🙏❤️
He is thank you Scott!
😂😂thanks for the laugh but maybe I should be scared. You have a great 4th as well!!
💕💕❤️
You are a sweetheart.
