Here’s a little something MamaLiberty wrote while looking at pictures like these<\/a> and thinking about dogs past and dogs future.<\/p>\n

\"Golden<\/a><\/p>\n

You Know It’s Time To Get a Dog…<\/b><\/p>\n

When an inch of soup is left in the bowl and you are too full…<\/p>\n

A walk to the mailbox is just a walk to the mailbox…<\/p>\n

The first piece of toast in the morning gets burned a little… but you shrug and eat it anyway.<\/p>\n

The antelope steak is a little too big for one meal… but not enough for two.<\/p>\n

Your feet are cold under the desk…<\/p>\n

Nobody in the world cares if you spend an extra hour in town… and nothing is waiting for you when you get back anyway.<\/p>\n

Waking in the night, you hear the sound again…<\/p>\n

…and, looking down to where the dog used to be, you realize that you are all alone and will have to get up yourself to find out if it is just the wind…<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Got anything else to add to MamaLiberty’s list?<\/p>\n

Me, I’m feeling under the weather, both literally (six days of rain, snow, sleet, and bone-numbing damp cold and no sign of a break) and figuratively (in the sense that this damn weather has got me feeling weak and wimpy).<\/p>\n

I try to work, but things that should take minutes drag out for hours — then aren’t good when I finally get there.<\/p>\n

I might not have much for you for the next few days. So in the meantime, have some more great dog stuff:<\/p>\n

\"Sleeping<\/a>
Whotta hangover!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My old feral foster dog Frosty snoozing in Cabin Sweet Cabin. (And Ava’s tail.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of Ava, this is so exactly true of her:<\/p>\n
