If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

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 take criticism and blame without resentment

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct her/him,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

I think my little Jack Russel has made my German Shepherd kinda affraid to play catch. You see, I was throwing the ball & Candie (the GS) was getting it as I said "Gimmie The Ball", over & over. Minnie (the JR) started growling then finally jumped up & went after Candie. Candie isn't afraid of Minnie cuz of size but Minnie showed her teeth too. Now when Minnie is arround Candie won't play fetch. Minnie growls at me too, if I get too close. The whole family is warry of her. (She's an old lady & lays there most all day. She's 11)
