View From A Dogs Life-Old Buck The Collie-January 26, 2013

It's awful early for my Master to be up, it seems to me, but what do I know, I've been up most of the night barking at those dang deer that come up to eat the grass around the house.

I was surprised when I saw the light come on in his music/fishing room, way before the sun comes up, so I came to the door and he let me inside. Layin' here watching him, deep in thought in his old rocking chair, he seems mighty troubled. I've heard him talk, to the sweet woman that feeds me so good, and I know that he has some heavy things on his mind, and I guess some things have come up that puts the strain on them. Don't undertand what could be the trouble, I saw them bring home a big bag of fresh dog food just the other day, and talking to the horses, they don't seem to know what could be wrong either. Humans just look at things different I guess, I mean, just think...they got this great porch where I can lay and watch over everything, they got the horses to eat the grass and keep it looking nice, there seems to be plenty of everything a dog could ever want....well, there ain't no understanding them, I guess, but I sure do love 'em, and I know they love me. I'll just lay here and watch him, and try to let him know...hey, Master, it's just another day in a dog's life...it ain't rocket science, lightin' up a little and scratch my ears, whatever is on your mind....we'll face it together and I'll protect you all no matter what. Ain't noting gonna get by old Buck The Collie....you can count on it.   Buck
