Here you will find posts about my three best friends- Lexi, Tru, and Jenna. I post the goofy things they do and some training as well.

Because of the dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?

Lady in store with pug: He's so cute! He's always snorting and grunting :)
What I said: Awww!
What I thought: He's grunting and snorting because he has chronic breathing problems as a result of being the extremely inbred abomination consequence of man playing God.

Perhaps one central reason for loving dogs is that they take us away from this obsession with ourselves. When our thoughts start to go in circles, and we seem unable to break away, wondering what horrible event the future holds for us, the dog opens a window into the delight of the moment.”
