DOGS........

What can I say about dogs?  I don't remember having a dog growing up but after I got married we had a dachshund named "Von Blitzen Storm"....Stormy dog, my oldest daughter, an only child for 11 years loved him. Then there was a big red dog I don't even remember his name, then there was Chauser, a wonderful golden retriever, that my X wanted visiting rights to after he left.  Then a little black dog, Stanley, the kids got me, I never really fell in love with and then......and then.....I got Maximillion LaFe Et"....Mr Maxx!   He was a little Yorkie, but got run over and then the girls got me "Madam Mosel Geesel"....little GIGI, a great little roommate.  Then we add my hairy grand kids......Sherrie has Macy and Lillie.....Karrie has Marley and Izzy....Pam has Drake and Bree.  I have tended all of them......remembering good times and bad times.  Why do I love dogs well;

IF you 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 alcohol......IF you can sleep without aid of drugs......YOU are probably the family dog!

In my next life I want to come back as one of my families dogs!  I see how easy their dogs have trained them!!!! I have to mention one granddaughter has Captain and one has Ollie, on our family dog tree.

'If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away"   .....well put.
