Why do the fish fly? Is it their instinctive reaction to an overwhelming sense of freedom and joy? Like the one I felt when I saw them rocketing in my direction out of the flat-as-glass surface of this clear blue sea? I squealed like a child, and I jumped too - right into the water. I swam and twirled, splashed my feet in mermaid unison. For a brief instance, those fish and I traded places. I drowned my to-do list in the ocean, with total disregard for the weather above. Rain or sunshine, pay no mind when you are fishing. And that I was. All the while, the fish were flying. I wonder what the birds were up to? Maybe swapping places with the dogs, digging holes in the sand to keep themselves cool. While Muffin and Bo were building castles in the sky. And the cows...well I haven't seen them down here at the beach in weeks. I wonder which animal they've been living as? It's difficult picturing cows doing anything but cow things. But then again, before coming here, I had never pictured a cow swimming in the ocean. Oh, the lives of animals!

I hear stirring. My humans have risen from slumber. They haven't moved yet, but I can sense a change in their breathing. "Morning humans. Shall we go down for some kibble? I noticed you didn't refill it last night. I'm not upset, or I would have woken you" I found us all a treat last night. I tried not to eat it all. I saved each of them a wing. However, they don't preserve well. The ants have started munching. "Come along now humans. Let's go." Maybe if I step on their faces it will alert them to feeding time. "DUCKBUTT!" the female one yells! YAY! She's awake! A Day in the Life of Cooper
Oh boy, I can't wait till they get up and let me outside! Oh boy, I can't wait till they feed me! Oh boy, I can't wait till she gets home from work and takes me for a walk! Wait, is that the mail carrier I hear? Oh boy, I can't wait till they feed me dinner! Oh boy, I'm tired! Oh boy, a brand new day! I can't wait till they get up and let me outside!
