When I am Old...hey, I'm already there..... I shall wear Turquoise and silver jewelery and soft gray sweatshirts over well-worn jeans. My silver hair may be askew and my face smudged with dirt, but my beloved dogs will be at my side. I shall spend my Social Security Checks on seeds for my garden and special toys and treats for My Dogs......and sit in my house on my favorite chair and listen to my dog's breathing. I will sneak out in the middle of a warm Summer night and take my dogs for a walk, if my old bones will allow...and when people come to call, I will smile and nod as I show them my dogs...and talk of them and about them... The Ones so Beloved of the Past and the Ones so Beloved of Today.... I will still work hard cleaning after them and mopping and feeding them and whispering their names in a soft, loving way. And to my family...who have not yet found the peace in being free to have dogs as your Best Friends.... These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall...and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep, to greet you as if you are a god. With warm eyes full of adoring love and hope that you will stay and hug their big, strong necks...and kiss their dear sweet velvet heads...and whisper to their very special company.... I look in the Mirror...and see I am getting old....this is the kind of woman I am...and have always been. Loving dogs is easy,they are part of me, accept me for who I am, my dogs appreciate my presence in their lives...when I am older this will be important to me...you will understand when you are old....and if you have dogs to love too. |

Get In Line A woman was leaving a 7-11 with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse and behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her were 200 women walking single file. The woman couldn't contain her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said "I am so sorry for your loss and I know now is a bad time to disturb you but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" The woman replied, "Well, that first hearse is for my husband." "What happened to him?" "My dog attacked and killed him." "Well who is in the second hearse?" The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her." A poignant moment of silence passed between the two women. "May I borrow the dog?" "Get in line." |
Lest Ye be a Judge* It was a slow day in heaven so God phoned Satan to see what was going on. "It's slow here too," says Satan. "Well," God said, "I think a dog show might be fun. Let's put on a dog show." "Sounds good," says Satan, "But why are you calling me? You've got all the dogs up there." "I know," answered God, "But, you've got all the judges down there!" *This joke is a work of fiction. The judges referred to within this joke were created by the author. Any resemblance to any real person is strictly coincidental. |
