The Big 10

October 10, 2010. – A momentous occasion since the stars (dates) only align themselves in this manner every gazillion years. I decided to use this special date like humans use New Years and review a list of the 10 things I put on my to-do list last year that would make my dump-of-a-dog life (rated as a big zero) and turn it in to a super ten life.

One: Stop living on the streets - Done!

Two: Avoid getting picked up and euthanized by the pound - Done
(Got picked up but Jet Parker, my foster mom, saved me the
day before I was going to be euthanized)

Three: Find a place home where I’m safe and fed regularly - Done

Four: Grow my fur back and get rid of the mange - Done!
(Jet said she lost all her fur too from Cancer and we both
celebrated having fur again.)

Five: Be loved to absolute excess. - Done

Six: Play so hard my heart bursts with happiness - Done

Seven: Find a fulfilling purpose. – Double Done!
(Loving a human that loves you back.)

Eight: Save other dogs – In progress

Nine: Chase more rabbits and squirrels. – Totally!

Ten: Eat more bones. – Oh yea.

Jet says that it’s not what you do; it’s what you achieve that makes a difference. I can tell you that achieving my Big 10 has made my life awesome.

So, here’s my lesson of the day… Forget New Year’s. List 10 things to ACHIEVE in the next 10 months that will forever make your life richer and more joyous - a ten - like mine. (Let me know how you do.)


Q Okay, the question of the day is from Wiggie who asked: What are conservatives and liberals?


Dear Wiggie:

Opposites.
