So what’s the secret of a dog’s wild energy and wagging tail?
Their warm heart, their boundless capacity for love? Their short memories, their natural ability to forgive?
Be more dog.

I truly enjoyed the two videos, one on the cat and the other on the dog. It sure made a difference in a man’s life to have his dog to share in his grief and then give him solace and comfort in eating a meal together. On the other hand, the cat’s aloof manner changed as it tried to replicate the life of a dog. It’s ironic that dog spelled backwards is God…Maybe that’s why people call dogs,”man’s best friend.” Cats can be aloof and picky, but they are too a warm bundle of fur that wants attention and curls up around people’s feet in and laps to give the purrs that show their affection.
Love dogs. I haven’t had cats, but have had rabbits who are lovely pets, and chickens and ducks. And of course, dogs. How about you?
