Get your Doggie Horiscopes here "The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens." SenatorGeorge Vest, l870 I am not sure if the American Kennel Club recognizes these titles or not but I know some of my crew have definitely earned them........ AD Attention Deficit Why Dogs are better then Men Dogs do not have problems expressing affection in public. Dogs miss you when you're gone. Dogs look at your eyes. Dogs aren't threatened by a woman with short hair. Dogs feel guilt when they've done something wrong. Dogs don't feel threatened by your intelligence. Dogs understand what "no" means. Dogs don't brag about whom they have slept with. Dogs do not play games with you -- except fetch (and they never laugh at how you throw). Dogs are happy with any video you choose to rent, because they know the most important thing is that you're together. Dogs understand if some of their friends cannot come inside. Dogs think you are a culinary genius. Dogs are nice to your relatives. Dogs don't mind if you do all the driving. Dogs don't step on the imaginary brake. Dogs admit it when they're lost. Dogs don't weigh down your purse with their stuff. Dogs do not care whether you shave your legs. Dogs aren't threatened if you earn more than they do. Dogs mean it when they kiss you. You are never suspicious of your dog's dreams. You never wonder whether your dog is good enough for you. You can train a dog. You can force a dog to take a bath. Middle-aged dogs don't feel the need to abandon you for a younger owner. Gorgeous dogs don't know they're gorgeous. The worst social disease you can get from dogs is fleas. (OK, the *really* worst disease you can get from them is rabies, but there's a vaccine for it, and you get to kill the one that gives it to you.) Both take up too much space on the bed. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaners. Both are threatened by their own kind. Both mark their territory. Both are suspicious of the postman. Both are bad at asking you questions. Both fart shamelessly. Both like dominance games. Both tend to smell riper with age. Neither of them tells you what's bothering them. Neither of them does dishes. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut. Neither knows how to talk on the telephone. Neither understands what you see in cats. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous. 1) You bought a bigger bed so that the dog could have more leg room. 2) You never forget to kiss your dog before you leave the house: the same, however, cannot be said of your disgruntled spouse. 3) You introduce yourself to every dog you meet as "(Your dog's name)'s mamma/papa." 4) Your dog's wardrobe is as large as yours. 5) You let your dog have canine guests over; in fact, you insist that he socializes. 6) You tell your dog secrets you wouldn't dare tell your spouse. 7) You watch TV sitting on the floor, so that the dog can sit on the couch behind you & rest his chin on your shoulder for a good view.

I will lend to you for while, a Pup, God said, For you to love him while
he lives and mourn for him when he's dead. Maybe for 12 or 14 years, or
maybe 2 or 3. But, will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for
Me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief. I cannot
promise he will stay, since all from Earth return, But these are lessons
taught, below, I want this Pup to learn. I've looked the whole world
over in search of teachers true. And from the folk that crowd life's
land, I have chosen you. Now, will you give him all your love? Nor hate
Me when I come to take My Pup back again? I fancied that I heard them
say, "Dear Lord, Thy Will be done." |
