Year of the Dog!

Just wanted to remind everyone out there that coming up Jan. 29th is the Year of the Dog! It warms my heart. I love dogs. I think this means that this year would be good for close companionship, loyalty, honesty and integrity. We could use more of that. When I think of what my dogs represent to me, I think of unconditional love, warmth, affection, company, security, playfulness, and the best life has to offer. I have heard people say, "She treats him like a dog". I think that must be pretty good. If I treated you like a dog, you would have a very happy life! I had an ex husband who claimed I liked the dog better than I liked him. He was right. Guess that's why I'm divorced. However, if he was more of a dog I would have liked him as well. My Mom was taken back when I told her I named my puppy after her. Katie. She said, "you named your dog after me" and I said Yes, I did and that should be an honor. I think more of the dog than I do of most people. Dogs only stay with you a short time here on earth. Every day is precious. They teach you so much about getting along and loving others. Now of course everyone knows - DOG spelled backwards is GOD! I don't think that was a mistake.
