I wish I were a dog sometimes...

This is my dog Hide, she is my running partner. She is a Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. I don't know how, but she seems to know when I step out the door with my running shoes on...because she goes crazy with excitment. She runs with me everytime I go. I caught her relaxing in the sun on a fall morning. She slept just like this for a long time. I dared not open the door because she would have jumped up and been ready to go...somewhere. So, I took a picture of her through the window of my house. Oh...the life of a dog....!
