Are you stressed? Life isn't treating you too well? Had a break up?...just had a fall maybe?? Or are u simply low? Are you always glum and have a HUGE stock of that sticky black bile in ur system. Whatever it is… and I mean WHATEVER...there is a solution to ALL your problems.

We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment.

~George Eliot

Have you ever wondered why that little pooch near your building wags 'himself' when you pass him by? Day in day out.. he'll just look up at you and wag - a sweet hello to an indifferent stranger. And you haven't even fed him, or patted him?

I love dogs.. love everything about them: the wet cool nose, vigilant ears that let you whisper just about anything, those forever warm eyes and that lovely tail. Lonng, short, leathery, fluffy, curled or poker straight.. found in all shapes and sizes.. but having one and only one single motive - to wag. The mighty, strong, functional yet loving, comforting tail IS the elixir of life. It wags your troubles out, helps you face the skeletons in ur closet, greets you as if its life depended on it, loves you through your bad hair days and the ugliest of moments. Loves every bit of you, loves you to bits. Here are some quotes on my most favorite creature in the world:

Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really.

~Agnes Sligh Turnbull

This one’s for my babies, Yoyo, Snuggy and Chleo. I love you and await the day we meet at the Rainbow Bridge…

One who possessed beautywithout vanity,

strength without insolence,

courage without ferocity,

and all the virtues of man, without his vices.

This praise would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes,

is but just a tribute to the memory of my dog."

- Lord Byron
