It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright"
Lennon & McCartney
"The great Overdog,
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye,
Gives a leap in the east
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.
I'm a poor underdog,
But tonight I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark"
Robert Frost
"The dog was created especially for children.
He is the god of frolic"
Henry Ward Beecher
How to Bark Up the Right
Tree In Life
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it.
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give
you any time,
If you can overlook it when something goes wrong through no fault
of yours
and those you love take it out on you,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct
him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no predjudice
against creed, colour, religion or politics,
Then, my friends, you are almost as good as your dog."
Queen Victoria and Bosco
"He would at Windsor
have taken possession of the throne if he thought that it looked
comfortable enough, and been surprised if asked to move."
Anonymous Palace Staff Member talking about Bosco the Royal Pug
"Anybody who doesn't know what
soap tastes like never washed a dog"
