Imagine if you were a dog...

You are probably familiar with the notion that one year in a dog's life = 7 years of human life. (That's why we grow up so quick from puppy into adolescent in one year.) If this is true, I have a couple thoughts for all of you who are dog owners. As an aside, I'm about the same age as Joan now.

If one year = 7 years, then one day = 7 days (one week). So imagine, my ONE day is comparable to your entire week. Imagine if you were kept in the house for an entire week and never went outside, or worse, barely had a visitor. That's what it is like if you don't take us for a walk a couple times a day or play with us in the house. It's like the most boring week of your life. And for us, it is the most boring day of our life. I mean we only have 10-12 years to be alive - we'd like to make the most of it, just as you all would like for yourselves.

SO, please take us for walks and come home and visit with us and play with us and talk to us! And if that doesn't seem like something you want to do, then don't get a dog!!!

I just felt like speaking up for my fellow dog-kind today. At least I've got a computer I can use to talk with all of you when Joan is at work.

Amen!

I get on my Daddy's case if he doesn't walk me when he comes home from work.

I think my math reasoning is wrong above, but I'm too lazy to figure it out.
