QUOTE FOR DOG LOVERS
“The old saw
about old dogs
and new tricks
only applies
to certain people.”
-Daniel Pinkwater
The Scariest Thing
By Mairi Tereas Gallagher
Some things are scary
Others are not,
Like ghosts and goblins,
And things that rot.
Cats and dogs are not scary
At all,
All they do is play chase
And catch a ball.
But the scariest thing
Creeps around at night,
Looking for victims
To scratch and bite.
It hides its face
It’s too ugly to see,
It rules all the monsters,
Both tall and wee.
Those who’ve seen his face,
Their eyes burst and bleed,
They beg for mercy
“Spare us spare us,” they plead.
But he’s not a giver
He takes what he finds,
All sorts of people
Both sightseers and blind.
You’ve got the picture,
That he is the king
Of everything scary,
Every little scary thing.
So watch out at night ‘cause if
By him you’re seen,
He’ll give an evil grin
And say ….
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS...
1. My life is likely to last 10-15
years. Any separation from you
is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand
what you want of me.
3. Placeyour trust in me. It is
crucial for mywell-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long
and don't lock me up as
punishment. You have your work,
yourfriends, your entertainment,
but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't
understand your words, I do
understand your voice when
speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat
me,I will never forget it.
7. Beforeyou hit me, before you
strike me, remember that
Icouldhurt you, and yet, I
choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being
lazy or uncooperative, ask
yourself if something might be
botheringme. PerhapsI'm not
getting the right food, I have
been in the sun too long, or my
heart might be getting old or
weak.
9. Please take care of me when I
grow old. You too, willgrow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey,
go with me please. Never
sayyou can't bear to watch.
Don't make me face this alone.
Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I loveyouso. ALWAYS!
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would bea much duller, less joyful experience without
God's critters~
Wedo not have to waitfor Heaven, to be surroundedby hope, love, and joyfulness. Itis here on earthand has four legs!
