Five Reasons I Celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

"Now is a good time  for a walk"

My shelter dog has brought a great deal of joy into my life and has altered my life in ways I couldn't have imagined.

Top 5 reasons I celebrate my shelter dog:

1. Parks are no longer the domain of families and kids, I've developed a greater appreciation for the use of parks and green spaces.
2. My neighbors all know us and stop to chat, which provides us a greater sense of community.
3. Nothing beats playing soccer in the rain with my dog, while normal people are warm and dry indoors.
4. Squirrel hunting is an activity I never thought I would enjoy. 
5. Nobody thinks I'm totally crazy when a talk about "dogs."
