In The Mood
Have you ever just found yourself in one of "those" moods, and just go with it for awhile.
Here was my morning mood today (click on it to read):
...stop the presses here, folks, it seems we have a bit of a whoopsie. The magnified version looked perfectly fine when I scanned it. But, what else is new for me!
Anywhere, here is the text. It's just not written on fancy fall paper with fancy type font!
If Dogs Were Teachers, You Would Learn Stuff Like...
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps. Stretch before rising.
Run, romp and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and entusiasm. Stop when you've had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
When somebody is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
And finally, be best friends with yourself.
BTW, this is my 200th blog entry. Not bad for someone with so little to say, huh? LOL
PEACE.
Happy Anniversary brotherman!

Happy 200th! I love the dog lessons -- animals are so cool, aren't they? :)

Hey, 200 already? Great. I think if we would all try to live like this, the world would be a better place.

I love that you have stuff to say.
Okay so about that Dogs were Teachers thing, I swear, I do all that! Maybe that's why I'm such a bitch? heh

Animals have so much to teach us. When I die, I want to come back as a dog!
You? Nothing to say? NEVER! LOL!

Yay, Happy 200th! Congrats!
Dogs as Teachers was sweet. I love my dog, and am fascinated everyday by her love, loyalty, and innocence.
Take care, enjoy your day! :-)

Aw, shucks, guys [dragging toe on ground, while timidly avoiding eye contact]. You're all so kind to remember my anniversary. No....wait! It was ME who told you about it! Anyway, thanks buckets.
That piece about the dogs was brought in to me by a friend the first time I was in the hospital, and I'll admit...kinda scared because I didn't know what was happening. I know there are lots of those sorts of things around, but this one is a little extra special for me because of that. I figured it was a good way to celebrate the big 200!
I'll also be honest and tell you that I changed the last line! It used to read "And finally, never trust anyone until you sniff their butt"!! (Sorry for the edit!)
