Dog Heaven
Our dog loves Jerusalem. She's in Dog Heaven -- a place full of parks and other dogs, a place overrun with cats which are clearly placed there by the Almighty for her to chase if we would only let her off the leash! And best of all, we're living in a smaller den with only two rooms, which means she's closer to her pack all the time; we walk with her more often, sometimes three and four times a day to get her out of the apartment; since neither of us is working right now, we take her almost everywhere with us instead of leaving her at home while we work.
One of my best friends forwarded this to me and if you're a dog lover, you'll like it also. If you're not, it at least explains the bond between those of us who love our dogs:
Dog Philosophy
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.
And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.

Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul, chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!-Anne Tyler
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

LOVE THE SAYINGS!!! I am in full agreement, that if you can spend a lot of time with your 'furry baby' then spend all the time you can...dogs are such a blessing, really, I love all animals.
Your dog is adorable.
My family's dog died last year and we miss him so much, but the "Philosophy" definitely still raise a smile...
jilly--you know exactly what I'm talking about--you're little guy is so cute!
tafka pp--I'm so sorry, hon! We've lost 4 cats in our marriage to old age, but I haven't lost a dog since I was a kid--and it feels like losing a best friend. Our girl is still frisky, and still has years to go, although I'm starting to see some white around the muzzle....she's a sweetheart--if you're ever down in Baka, she has coffee with us at Kulo in the mornings on Derech Bet Lechem! She loves to meet people who coo over her and pet her....
hey, I like your post its touchy..and you too can check out my post on working dogs. I hope u'll like it....
