Two Totally Random Things

[jbs_teeth]

1) Is it better to love or be loved?

To love, I think, regardless of the situation. Because the loving part is the part that we personally participate in, the part that we actually experience in our psyche.

2) Puppies are cute, especially mine.

SHELTIE LOVE!!!

OMG my family had a sheltie for years and years...still miss him. He was unbelievably smart--we once counted all the words we knew he knew, well over 60 in 5 different languages (english, french, spanish, german, and latin).

5 languages? your dog was smarter than me
jake was a border collie actually, little bit bigger than a sheltie
he only knew english and... dog
as far as i know...

He's still cuter than cute, your Jake.

Dog (yes, that was his name) went deaf when he got old, and my parents figured out a basic sign language with him. Tap their mouths for hungry, hold up the leash for walk, point to the door for out, and so on.

why did Dog not have his own tv show?
jake was mostly deaf the last few years, but he seemed to understand everything pretty well
he was also partially blind, so i don't think sign language would have worked
but he was awesome
i miss my puppy

I don't know. He sure was a trip.

He and his pet cat, Screamer, were unbelievable together. When Dog went deaf, Screamer figured it out by yelling at him, nothing, yelling louder, nothing, walking up to him, shoving his face in (sleeping) Dog's ear, and yelling. Dog heard that, levitated, and Screamer sat down with a look like, "yep, that was the problem." Ever after, if Dog was asleep and Screamer wanted something, the cat would tap him with his nose or a paw. Amazing.

I had a sweet baby pug named Mingers that I miss every time I go to my parents house. Whenever I pull up, I still get a quick rush of anticipation until I remember that she doesn't live there any more. But, she was 16 when she died, so she had a very good long life.

She was no rocket scientist and she pretty much disliked everyone but us, but I loved her a ton.
