The Older You Get, The Fewer…

Jet, my foster mom, was watching some program and she suddenly wrote something down. I asked her about it. She said the guy in the movie said, “The older you get the fewer things you really love.”

I had to think about that one. After pondering the line several minutes, I decided I agreed with the guy. Jet says the more things she has, the easier or more comfortable life is but having more things hasn’t given her more to love or more to love her.

Do we love fewer things when we’re older or when we get older do we just realize that most things aren’t really worth loving?

So, here’s my lesson of the day… Don’t wait to turn old before you realize what’s really important to love. Dogs know this the first time they sit in the lap of a loving human.

Okay, here’s the question of the day from Zoomer who asked: My humans are always talking about all the great colors on our new couch. I just like that we have a new couch. The old one was lumpy. Besides, I can’t see some of the ‘colors’ they keep describing.


Dear Zoomer
You can’t see all the colors because dogs mostly just see hues of yellows, blues and violets where as humans can see these colors plus reds, greens and oranges. On the other hand, dogs have superior night vision for movement than humans. – Great for hunting critters in the night.
