Look at the picture & tell me he hasn’t got attitude, I mean I give him chances, yes, all sorts of latitude, But he never returns them except in platitudes, Little does he know, I know the meaning & use of vicissitudes… On me he picks, and with his paw he does scratch, His stare though I cannot match, Fortunately for me with thumbs, I can of the door lock latch… He is still a fine fellow, Keeping his dad, me, quite mellow, He protects me, proving he is not yellow, He is a philosopher knowing that everything goes better with jello… © ed /\/\ 3/28/09

Ain't it the truth. Dogs, can't live without them, or at least shouldn't. They teach us how to be loyal and loving, even when it hurts. Cheers, J'nia

Very clever, Ed. I think that animals often have more sense and a better grip on reality than we might ever hope to have.
Take care,
