ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JULY 31ST,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's TUESDAY!  

MUTT'S DAY

 Mutts deserve their day in the spotlight, as much as a pure breed. If you own a mutt, then this day is for you.
By definition a mutt, sometimes called a Halfbreed, is a dog that is of mixed breed.  They come from two to several breeds. Purebred owners, and sometimes the public in general, view them as lesser in many ways. Mutt owners know better. They value the diversity and uniqueness of their mutts. Sure, a mutt doesn't carry the expensive price tag that a purebred with papers has on its head. To the mutt owner, however, the mutt is invaluable. Mutts don't walk around needing to prove anything. You won't see them strutting around any dog shows trying to prove they are the best.
 Spend the day relaxing and doing all the things you and your dog like to do. Do so with both of your chins held high. For your mutt is worth a million bucks!

A dog can express more with his tail in seconds than his owner can express with his tongue in hours.

NEWS FROM HOME

Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.  

Franklin P. Jones

Not only do I have a lot of grand'babes', I also have a lot grand'dogs'.  My children grew up with a dog in the house, so they all seem to love dogs and most all of them have at least one or two.  Some have more.

One thing I've learned is that all dogs love to be scratched.  I haven't found one yet that doesn't love it.  I've also learned that they love to live in the moment.  We'd all be better off if we followed that example.  

I've rescued a few dogs from animal shelters over the years and the wonderful thing is that they don't seem to remember what they've been through.  They don't harbor any resentment.  They just are.

It's we humans who hold on to the past and have the hardest time letting go.  I think we could all learn some lessons from dogs, living in the moment is what true balance and gratitude are all about.

Have a terrific Tuesday everyone!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give UNCONDITIONAL love.  

For me they are the role model for being alive

COUNTING THE DAYS

 To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, 

where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.
