Dogs
(page 2)
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
When I wrote about media and technology, I had a lot of lonely, even intimate book talks. Since writing about dogs, I have a lot of company at book signings.
I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.
It's easy to see why dog rescue is a mushrooming culture. Turning a troubled person's life around is difficult, but rescuers with commitment and time and a few dollars can radically alter the fate of a dog. And there are millions of dogs — nearly 10 million in the shelter system, many others mistreated in private homes — in need of rescuing.
The Perfect Dog is an enticing fantasy pooch. It's the dog that instantly learns to pee outdoors, never menaces or frightens children, plays gently with other dogs, won't jump on the UPS guy, never rolls in gross things, eats only the appropriate food at the right time, and never chews anything not meant for him. This dog does not exist.
Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.
A lot of people think I am the one to turn to for dog behavior issues. I'm not. All you have to do is meet Tucker; you'll know that I'm not an expert at training dogs.
The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.
My health is wonderful. I work out. I'm working. Playing music. I have a beautiful wife, a nice home, a nice car, I got money in the bank. I got three beautiful dogs that love me. Like I said, I'm blessed. I survived.
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
