I decided that I wanted to enter this contest because of one good reason. Every day, I decide where to take my dog for excersize. My dog is a Shetland Sheepdog who is 4 years old and his name is Odie. Odie loves to be outside. He loves nature and loves to go for walks. So every day that I take him somewhere, whether it be the beach, park, going for a walk, exploring the woods, at the soccer feilds, or even in my back yard, we always get to experience the wonders of nature. The fresh air maybe chillin in the grass, or the changes of the leaves when walking through the park in fall. The crisp cold air and salty smell of the beach when Odie gets to perk up his ears and takes off once the sand touches his paws. It makes me relize how lucky we are to have all this beauty. It makes me want to keep the beauty pure for my kids and their pets. The world is a beautiful place and Odie loves it just as much as I do. When I don't take him out to do something outside, he cries and mones and I know what that means! Outside to play with mother nature Odie!
