THE KITCHEN — It's sometimes inspiring to see the unbridled joy that animals bring to seemingly basic activities. For example, you might see a horse gallivanting around a small corral. Kicking, leaping and tossing its mane, the animal looks as though it's living its best life in the best place on earth.
Nope. It's still confined to a corral. But it has found a way to celebrate the good things in its circumstances.
The same goes for dogs playing in sprinklers, cats snuggling in a soft blanket, or an elephant stomping on pumpkins at the zoo. The curiosity, content and joy they exhibit can be downright contagious.
You can go ahead and file this video in the "joyful animal" collection.
Not only does this bulldog enjoy the popsicle, but it embraces the treat so wholeheartedly that it goes cross-eyed. You get the feeling that this popsicle is the most wonderful thing the dog has ever encountered.
So the next time you find yourself in a mundane situation, channel the spirit of this bulldog. Embrace your surroundings, find the joy in the moment and maybe even go a little cross-eyed in the process.
