Dog Philosophy (Tuesday, January 22, 2008)

DISCLAIMER: this blog is mine & mine alone. Thou shalt not blame family nor friends nor employer for what you may read here.

This is not my compilation nor do I know who put it together. Got it at work & thought it worth posting. Those whose lives have been graced by the presence of a canine companion will understand & nod in agreement. Those that have not need to find the right breed for them, and learn what the rest of us already know.

This is for Buck, Sam, Bridget, and Josie. For Tai. For Kaya, Brit, Cher, Othello, Sonny, Napoleon, Farley, Hailey, Daisy, Val, Albert, and Meredith. All the canine companions, furry four-legged members of my families that have touched my life over the years. I love them all & will never forget a'one.
