Now

Given that over the years mankind and the domesticated dog have so wrapped themselves around each other, the inclination is to think that dogs might give life some profound thought, like we might have on a quiet moment at a beach staring into the vastness of an ocean sunrise on a new years morning. However, mostly what I understand dog behaviorists say about dogs is all they think about is “now.” No you are thinking about a moment ago, now, no now. Not much else just, now. Little hard to figure that one, because we are busy connecting dots or anticipating actions, needs, changes ahead, and they just thinking about, NOW, or now, only now. Free of any contextual obligation, that could be considered nihilistic I suppose, but generally they have us to keep all that in line. In addition they get food, shelter, affection. and now.
