Meet Arlo: What Our Pets Do Better Than We Do

Meet Arlo. He’s 9 now, but he still has the puppy spirit running strong.

He’s a lot better at making friends with complete strangers on our daily hikes than I am. He’ll trot right up to someone like they’re old pals, while I’m still working up the nerve to say hello.

What’s the one thing your pet is surprisingly better at than you?

  1. Making friends with everyone they meet
  2. Napping deeply with zero guilt
  3. Getting exactly what they want with their eyes
  4. Knowing when you need a snuggle

Even one word or a single number is fine. And feel free to share a photo of your pet below so we can say hello.

The porch light is on. Pull up a chair.
