Academy Awards for the Dogs

Aren’t you wondering why there isn’t an academy awards for dogs – after all, they have been stars in many movies. “Secondhand Lions” wouldn’t have been the same without that pack.

Well, here’s the reason. . .they don’t “act.” They can be trained to respond to commands, but they are in the moment and I don’t believe capable of acting. Maybe that’s why there’s the saying that goes something like – if you are respected and loved by a dog, you’re probably an ok person.

Babies fit in this category as well. They respond to things but aren’t yet capable of being out of their true character or pretending to be someone they’re not. (I’ve met a lot of people who spend way too much time “acting.”)

So, enjoy the Academy Awards and then see yourself as your dog or child does. Somehow, they help us step off the stage and be in the moment.

What’s that Moby? More popcorn? I think they think “Pet Hotel” is up for an award!
