OK, I’M A DOG PERSON!
CANINES ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS, SOMETIMES, AND SOMETIMES THEY DRIVE US TO DISTRACTION. BUT THEY KEEP US MOVING, THINKING, AND INNOVATING….TO KEEP UP. HERE, VIA A FRIEND IN UTAH, SOME MEDITATIONS ON “DOGS”………….

his tail instead of his tongue.”

washed a dog.”

here we come back from a grocery store with the
most amazing haul — chicken, pork, half a cow. They
