Running, playing, hiking, and exploring all put your dog's muscles and joints to work. Downtime gives their body a chance to recover before the next adventure. This can be especially important after a busy day filled with extra exercise or unfamiliar activities. Sometimes the best thing after a long trail walk is simply a soft bed and a really good nap.

There is something remarkable about the way a dog can sense when we need them. They may not understand every word we say, but somehow they know when to curl up beside us, rest their head on our lap, follow us from room to room, or simply stay close.
