Miki at Del Mar Beach, California

Oneam afternoon in southern California, we took Miki to a dog beach in Del Mar.  Dogs are so much nicer than people – they didn’t mind if people were also on the beach, which is often NOT the case when it’s a “people” beach!  (Tee, hee!)  Anyway, as I processed these images of Miki enjoying herself, I just kept thinking that dogs just seem to live naturally in a perpetual state of joy and happiness.  So, I thought I would share some quotes about happiness as we look at Miki in absolute bliss.
