Old best friends


as a response to the above entry, DiggerW wrote:

Growing up, we had a dog (Digger) and a cat (Gus). Both were healthy, and for years they were best friends. My dog always wore a collar, and I guess we took for granted the sound that it made when he was walking around. Anyway, years after his death, in the garage we found his collar and my brother picked it up... it made the sound that surprised us all with its sheer familiarity -- it was just as if Digger was walking into the room. Not three seconds later, Gus the cat tore into the garage, excitedly looking for his old best friend.

I love my pets, but I've never cried nearly as hard over them as I did that day.

74% - Dad's Popular


When you ask U.S. adults about their parents, fully 74% say they feel close to their father. But a 2006 Pew Research Center survey found that somewhat more, 87%, say they feel close to their mother. Moreover, dogs edge both parents, as well as cats, in the human intimacy sweepstake. Fully 94% of dog owners say they feel "close" to their pet compared with 84% of cat owners. So for anyone keeping score, the family intimacy standings look like this: dog 94%; mom 87%; cat 84%; dad 74%. Happy Father's Day, Dad!

We see the truth and forget it.

We see the truth and we forget it.
We hear the truth and we remember it.
We DO the truth and finally we understand it.
Are you willing to really understand?
