Dogs and paradise?

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

A favorite dog quote (from my avid reading of the Mitford series this summer)! In fact, we were inspired to leave the dreadful heat and smog of Phoenix for a Saturday hike in Oak Creek Canyon. Nothing more delightful and relaxing than traipsing thru the great outdoors with a good friend and Bandit the Aussie!
