“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?” ― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

Oh, the Angst - Downward Dog is a riot!

“When animals express their feelings they pour out like water from a spout. Animals' emotions are raw, unfiltered, and uncontrolled. Their joy is the purest and most contagious of joys and their grief the deepest and most devastating."
-
The Emotional Lives of Animals by Marc Bekoff Goodreads


So maybe it's really more about how a human might cope with the confined space of animal being but - it works. And it's entertaining. Downward Dog, the series is coming up on ABC. Here's hoping it will be just as endearing.

Setting the tone, the web inspiration video teaser. Spoiler: Doesn't end well for the fish.
We dive right into the story -- Birthday number 7 is coming up ...

Oh yeah, details here: I've worked for Eddie Bauer for 7 plus years. That brown coat Nan wears in the cold snowy portion of the vid - Eddie Bauer Lodge Down Parka. Perfect. See for yourself: Here.
My warmest coat. I have the longer version. (Duffle.)

When it's cold, the dogs just look at me like, "Really? You AREN'T taking us for a walk? Hater."

Exactly. So, I put on the coat, the gloves, the headband, the boots, the leggings, the 'guide pro' pants and the scarf, the hat and the heated hand warmers and head to the park. LOL.

The fish and the turtle and the cat guard the house. Dogs don't know BAD weather, it's just outside and that's where they rule the world.

Cold where you are? Don't shiver. Been there. Eddie Bauer.
