Dog Gets Extremely Excited To Dig A Hole At The Beach

While you barely have the motivation to get up off the couch to grab a slice of two-day-old pizza from the fridge, remember that there's a dog out there — let's call him Ezekiel — who gets overly enthusiastic about digging holes for no particular reason. 

This reminds me of the time where one of my bosses, with sorrow in his voice and a broken heart, said to me, "I don't know what we did to deserve dogs." He lamented this while sipping on a milkshake with a look of utter depression on his face.

"You okay, buddy?" I asked him, not knowing whether this was a moment where he needed the tender embrace of another man — his subordinate — or whether he needed to be left alone to marinate in his awkwardly long moment of self-loathing. I elected not to touch him, much less embrace him. He's a man who is very much afraid of all love that doesn't come in the form of wet slobbery kisses from his aunt Jane or a loveable dog.

"I'll never be okay," he said.

I nodded in agreement. He'll never be okay. Most of us will never be okay. Which is why dogs and their inexplicable happiness are so special to us.
