" The wind is gusting, the dog runs full speed
towards nothing but happiness...,"
From Waiting to Wave
Jonathan Carroll
Yes another seawall post. One thing Helen and I love is to
watch dogs. We did it when we visited New York City and
we always do it in Vancouver. Both cities figured prominently
in the documentary Dog Dazed about our love affair with dogs
in the city and the consequences of irresponsible owners who let
dogs run off leash and chase wildlife and poop everywhere.
As much as I love dogs I do control my dogs and cleanup after them
and I am baffled that other people don't. However many of the things
people do baffle me which is why I often prefer animals and being at
the cabin.
So this entire post will go to the DOGS!!!!!!
“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
Groucho Marx
The difference is subtle but these are
different dogs one a bit younger. You will
also notice I rarely photograph people
hence the array of knees and ankles.
“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die
I want to go where they went.”
Will Rogers
“All his life he tried to be a good person.
Many times, however, he failed.
For after all, he was only human.
He wasn't a dog.”
Charles M Schulz
I will also admit that while I like most dogs I do enjoy
little foo-foo dogs.
“If you don't own a dog, at least one,
there is not necessarily anything wrong with you,
but there may be something wrong with your life.”
Roger Caras
“My little dogs ... heartbeats at my feet.”
Edith Wharton
"I have a dog of Blenheim birth,
With fine long ears and full of mirth;
And sometimes, running o'er the plain,
He tumbles on his nose:
But quickly jumping up again,
Like lightning on he goes! "
John Rusking
And still missing our sweet girl Wendolene I am always
a sucker for Poms.
"Pray steal me not, I'm Mrs. Dingley's,
Whose heart in this four-footed thing lies."
Whose heart in this four-footed thing lies."
Jonathan Swift (a lapdog's collar inscription)
So as we can see there are many dogs off
leash and chasing things.
We are Shaun and Whateley and we endorsed this message.
What was it again?
