Truthfully, however, this is MY dog. Not a pic I copied from Google Images…..although there were some rather interesting ones there…..
And here are the quotes:
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. -Mark Twain
You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!' - Dave Barry
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras

pocket and then give him only two of them. -Phil Pastoret

Here’s some from one of my favorite authors: Anon (I think he runs a couple of self-help groups, too)
If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
If you’d greet everyone the way you greet your dog, you’d have more friends.
Since I've been into memorials lately...here's to all the great pets who've shared my home in the past. I want to go wherever they've gone. I want to pet them again.

Of course as you know you're talking of one of the great loves of my life! I've had a number of really remarkable dogs and like you when I die I want to go where they have gone. I remember watching your dog Freeda (?) diving for rocks in the lake and actually retriving them. I've met a lot if not all of your dogs and they've all been great. I don' think that you've met my newest one but we'll have to remedy that soon.

As you know, I'm a cat person (4)and have never lived with a dog. I do think my daughter's dog (Shadow)is super smart and very loveable though.
The weather here has been too mild....not like winter at all. It doesn't feel natural. We had one ice storm on New Year's Eve but it only lasted hours.
bye for now, Jean.
I love dogs too...and cats, birds, and horses. Life would be lacking an awfully lot without our animal friends. My favorite tribute to a dog was made in the court room in Warrensburg, Missouri. Old Drum had been shot, and his owner sued the man who killed his beloved hunting dog. George Graham Vest was the lawyer and here is a part of his summation to the jury." The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith." (I'll omit quite a bit here)"The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. Gentleman of the Jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that encounters the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friend s desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens." (omit more)"When the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death." Ann
and then there's Jim the Wonder Dog, another famous Missouri dog. Jim lived in Marshall, Missouri. Jim and his master traveled around during the days of the Great Depression bringing wonder and interest to Missourians. "Jim, which woman has a feather in her hat?" and Jim would search the audience, then put his paw gently on the leg of the correct woman. He could be told to find the invention that made Henry Ford rich, and he'd put his paw on a Model T. "Jim, show us the guy with a hole in his sock." and Jim would look and sniff until he'd put his paw on a guy. The person had a hole in his sock, of course! He was tested, examined, and observed by professors from the U. of Mo. School of Vet. Med., and by psychology professors from Washington Univ. in St. Louis, as well as other highly educated people. Noone was able to find out how Jim could do what he did, and his owner never revealed it, but maintained throughout his life that he did not understand how Jim was able to comprehend human language. My parents saw Jim perform and were delighted and mystified. My dad's remark was that Will Rogers and Jim the Wonder Dog were the two that brought humor and interest during those terrible depression days. Oh, I wish I could have known Jim! Ann
Wow that is a lot of wonderful quotes. I miss Freda. She was awesome but all our dogs were. Now I have Mattie who is great - always willing to give love no matter what. That is the great thing about a dog.
