Midday Palate Cleanser

I’m not crying, I’m not crying, I’m not crying…

If you want to be a better person, you can learn so much humanity from having a pet.

    All these people who rescue animals deserve sainthood, or at least to never pay for another meal out again. I couldn’t do this work; I’d lose 10 pounds a week in water.

    Thanks for sharing, ‘Grain.

    “If you want to be a better person, you can learn so much humanity from having a pet.”

    True, TG. But even two years after signing the final papers for my dog, I don’t know if I could start the cycle again.

    Okay, I’m crying for you.

    Intellectually, I know dogs want to be part of a pack and 99 of 100 don’t aspire to be alpha once they understand what a human can do. But the cleverness and kindness and honest to Lenny personality they show isn’t just anthropomorphizing them. They really are individuals and the best dogs I’ve known are the best individuals I’ve known, with a few humans thrown in as the exception, not the rule.

    I don’t know how that guy doesn’t come home with dogs every day.

    The operators of those puppy mills belong in jail.

    I joke about dogs licking their asses and kissing our faces, but I really see them as sweet beyond our deserving. This is a great example of forgiveness and love, and more than enough reason to forgive them their hygienic lapses.

    …and yes, I was crying as I typed that.

    What Bruce said. Nothing like a dog.
