Forward Ever Forward

I got stopped for speeding yesterday!

I thought I could TALK MY WAY OUT OF IT until

the officer looked at my dog in the back seat.

Love the clawmarks!

Sometimes when you are angry with someone,

It helps to sit down,

Take a moment to cool off,

And think about the problem.

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment ,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

….Then You Are Probably ………

The Family Dog!

Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty,
and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators,
normally considered the ‘apex predator,’ can still fall
victim to implemented ‘team work’ strategy,
made possible due to the tight knit social structure
and ’survival of the pack mentality’ bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine.

Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it
from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it
from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not for the squeamish!

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar: ‘I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my
house for a nap.’

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:

‘He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 – he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?’

Yesterday I bought 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Walmart for my dogs.  I was about to check out when a woman behind me  asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant?

Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn’t because I ended up in the hospital last time.

On the bright side though, I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.

I figured that since the  Purina dog food is nutritionally complete, I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
