HISTORY, DP AND LIFE

Hello,

History: The name of Laika, see last post, is relevant because the first dog in space was a Russian dog named Laika. Say that with a White Russian in one hand and a dude in the other...get it????

I read an interesting article about how our human relationships would improve if we treated our partners like we treat our dogs. Think about it. When your pup does something wrong, you quickly and firmly reprimand the sweet things, then, immediately forgive them. Quick to forgive. We do not project our wishes, needs and fears onto our dogs. At least, we shouldn't. So, just be quick to forgive and forget.

I find it most intersting that in the past 6 weeks, I have heard not anyone say one word about the ecological problems. DP is sanity for the city humans and dogs. Dog Therapy is good at dog park and is used in hospitals and such. Dogs heal. I know my patients are getting better when they adopt a dog. Do our dogs think about us? Do they know if we need to lose weight or gain weight or have wrinkles and things. No, Hell. NO. Isn't that nice in a world as one human at dp said over the weekend, that they thought most people are not good in this world. Another human responded by saying that was a "pretty synical" outlook. I, for one think most people are just people who do the best they can. There was a human at dog park today who is someone who does not have a dog, but I think he, also, does not have a human. He may have been a bit sloshed, I am not sure. But he was relatively harmless. I found him a bit annoying. I was ashamed of myself when as he left, one human, who I previously did not care for, was very kind and supportive to this person. So, never judge even note pad by its cover...either the "displeasing" individual or the other person whom I had formerly considered and "displeasing' individual. Live and learn. Be patient with the dull and ignorant, for they too, have a story.

That's all she wrote. Roe
