Wow!

It is sad that any human being sleeps on a mat in the street.

Dog or no.

Amen my friend!

What a precious picture. It is sad but, in a way even this homeless man is lucky for the love of a dog.

JUST MY DOG

He is my other eyes that can see above
the clouds; my other ears that hear above
the winds. He is the part of me that can
reach out into the sea.

He has told me a thousand times over that
I am his reason for being: by the way he
rests against my leg; by the way he thumps
his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he
shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
(I think it makes him sick with worry when he
is not along to care for me.)

When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another man. With him,
I am all-powerful.
He is loyalty itself.
He has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With him, I know a secret comfort and a
private peace. He has brought me understanding
where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against
my fears of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me...
henever...wherever--in case I need him.
And I expect I will--as I always have.


He is just my dog.

When my little 14 yr old Yorkie died someone sent me this and I treasure it. Anyway here is the little poem not typical of either of my yorkies though, who were not yappy or hyper.

The Yorkshire Terrier

There are many little terrier dogs
Of every size and hue
But the one I'd like to mention here
Is shaded tan and blue
He's a wacky little devil
And he isn't any saint
But a sloppy little lap dog
Is the very thing he ain't
He struts along the garden path
His eyes boot button bright
And God help any straying cat
That comes into his sight
His owners fear no burglars
For every sound he hears,
The softest, guietest footsteps
Will not pass his pricked - up ears
And if he is disturbed at night
Or danger is at hand
He makes more of a racket
Than a fifty piece brass band!

I have given dog food to several homeless people with dogs. I didn't give them money, but food for both. He obviously loves his dog.

In Alaska (I guess) you measure how cold it is by how many dogs you have to pile into (invite to) your bed to keep warm.

Remember the music group from the 70's "Three Dog Night"? That's where the name came from.
