Was in the front yard playing fetch with the 3 regular participants ,Honey, Bella, and Groot. My balance isn’t good and somehow I wound up on the ground. All three were instantly there with me . Bella stretched out with me while the others stood guard?
Groot’s owner was there and helped me back up. No damage done. The soggy ground is a good cushion.

As long as one of the dogs didn’t knock you because of exuberance. No harm, no foul. Many stories of dogs staying with their humans in situations. Good companions for sure.

I like to take walks in the woods and lie down and take a nap. My Border Collie watches over me. We have woken up to flocks of turkeys, herds of deer and lots of other things. A badger walked across my sleeping bag once when my dog was not around.

Reminds me of the dog parent’s prayer: " Please help me to be the person my dog thinks I am…"

My dog would have picked a fight and gotten me KILT
Hi String
It is odd how much better my balance becomes when I am sitting in my kayak!

I have had that experience in Alberta some years ago. I was sleeping on my back. About 0430 I woke up to sniffing, and grunting. A black bear sow was 12 inches from my head. I whistled at her and she left. About a half hour later I woke up to one big nose and 2 little noses at the mosquito netting. Then I got up.
Mine too!
