A dog's prayer. Dear God: Are there dogs on other planets or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street! .

Oops! Sorry. Wrong thread. But it's a dog! By golly!!

Found on Facebook: An old tired-looking dog wanders into a guy's yard. He examines the dog's collar and feels his well-fed belly and knows the dog has a home. The dog follows him into the house, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep. The man thinks its rather odd, but lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tale and leaves. The next day the dog comes back and scratches at the door. The guy opens the door, the dog comes in, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep again. The man lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tale and leaves. This goes on for days. The guy grows really curious, so he pins a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day." The next day the dog arrives with another note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

An Aesop's Fable The Dog, the Cock, and the Fox A dog and a cock having struck up an acquaintance went out on their travels together. Nightfall found them in a forest, so the cock, flying up on a tree, perched among the branches, while the dog dozed below at the foot. As the night passed away and the day dawned, the cock, according to his custom, set up a shrill crowing. A fox, hearing him and thinking to make a meal of him, came and stood under the tree and thus addressed him: "Thou art a good little bird and most useful to thy fellow creatures. Come down, then, that we may sing and rejoice together." The cock replied; "Go, my good friend, to the foot of the tree, and call the church elders to toll the bell." But as the Fox went to call them, the dog jumped out in a moment, seized the fox, and made an end of him. They who lay traps for others are often caught by their own bait. .

Just a few moments ago, I was sitting on our back patio enjoying a desert summer rain. The smell of the rain on the desert breeze was heavenly. Folks, y'all need to experience a delightful desert rain at least once in your life. Then all of a sudden, Sally, our killer Yorkie, started raising a hell of a ruckus. Ol' Wiley Coyote came wandering into the natural area just over our back fence. Ol' Wiley didn't even care about Sally's objections. In fact, while "Killer" was cussing out the coyote, Wiley took a pee on the bush. Wish I'd taken a video. Was too much fun!

Here is my Lizzie. This girl was the sweetest, loving, and most wanting to please dog that I have ever had. She was a good bird dog. Lizzie is waiting at Rainbow Bridge for me. This is my Sally. She is probably the most intelligent dog I've ever had. She is a scamp! And, she's afraid of nothing! Sally (Killer) has the heart of a lion. But according to Sally, all human beings were placed here by God to be her friend.

For my fellow chess players Applies to other life situations also.

I learned to drive in Alabama. Wait, maybe it was California? Or was it Oklahoma? Definitely not Florida. Who CARES!!! Why are other drivers so rude??

The Battle of Waterloo: June 18, 1815

I always use my turn signal. The left one. I leave it on constantly and drive in the left lane well below the speed limit. I also slow down well before I get to the intersection and then come to a stop. That's when I turn right.

Since it's Sunday.... A pastor friend of mine told me of a lady who came up to him after his sermon and said: "Pastor, each sermon you preach is better than the next." .

When I was in the United States Army of America, I used to proclaim: "Burning a Second Lieutenant is the next thing to Child Abuse."
