STYLE VS SUBSTANCE

Ever watch show dogs? It’s as if they KNOW how handsome, how special they really are; they seem to know they possess an exceptional rating in the world. The boy show dogs hike their legs the same way as any other dog; the girl show dogs squat the same way as any other dog so why are they so
extraordinary?



I shared this observation with Jet (my foster mom). She said some humans are the same way. These humans are called VIPs or celebrity. Jet says they function just like us. If you cut your finger, you bleed red blood; if a human celebrity cuts their finger, they bleed red blood too. We are the same, yet different.

Jet calls this the donut phenomena (word of the day). She says donuts are yummy. (I concur. I managed to devour one I snatched from the kitchen table one day.) She said, that you can eat a fresh, warm plane cake donut and it will be yummy. If you put icing, sprinkles, chocolate, cinnamon on the yummy cake donut then it will also be good. Both donuts are made from the same dough with the same ingredients. They just look different on the outside.

So, here’s my lesson of the day… Donuts are better for eating than studying but to make sure you get something out of this blog here’s my opinion of the donut story. Be it dough or dogs, we’re the same beneath the coat or coif. All the stylish additions (fancy leashes on a dog or sprinkles on a donut) won’t make a donut or a dog any better, just different.

Okay, here’s the question of the day from Banjo who asked: Is it safe to spray me with mosquito repellent? My mom uses it and it works great.

Hey Banjo:
NO! Do not let your mom spray you with human mosquito repellent. If they nasty insects are making you crazy, talk to your vet about a pet-safe spray so you can get some relief – safely.
