What if we went hiking and the woods became a magic forest, where Golden Retrievers ran wild and free?

That would be a happy hike indeed.

Last fall, my son was working to complete his college applications.  One school asked him to write an essay about his “happy place.” When discussing his ideas with me, he described a hike through a magic forest with wild Golden Retrievers. He chose another location for his essay, but Hampshire College accepted him anyway.  

Pictured above is my Lucy, in her “happy place.”  Well, pretty much everywhere is her happy place. I adopted Lucy from Golden Huggs Rescue.

Please note: The “happy place” is a fantasy.  Wagmorevt.com is NOT advocating dog abandonment. Ever. 

Where is your dog’s happy place? Please feel free to comment!

P.s.  Carol sent in these shots of Wilson the golden doodle in his “happy place.”  Thank you, Carol!

Wilson in a happy place. Sweet dreams!
