Humans and dogs are so different.
Humans have two legs; dogs have four. Humans have a heart; dogs have a heart but humans seldom use it to capacity to emote for others the way dogs do. Humans love with conditions; dogs love with unconditionally.
Humans and dogs are so similar.
They both have the ability to lead, to run, to excel, and to comfort. Case in point. I’ve got three dog pals: Piper, Cheyenne and Nokona. Love them all. Piper is a perky, prissy, pistol. (- You’ve got to love the alliteration.) She is a very fast runner but lacks the stamina to run for very long. Piper is also clever to the point of knowing how to manipulate her other dog buddies in to plunging in to bushes to scare out the rabbits she wants to chase. Cheyenne is the smallest but has the biggest spirit, an indomitable will to overcome – anything. Nokona is a lover not a fighter. EVERY human and creature (except the dried up worms he loves to eat) is his friend. He’s got a welcoming nature that makes the world feel at home in his presence.
Jet (my foster mom) says that people are pretty much the same as these three jug heads. All three bring value to a relationship but in a different way. Jet said the Piper types keep your mind sharp and your sense of humor at peak. The Cheyenne types keep you’re spirit of adventure alive; the will to achieve in overdrive. The Nokona types keep even the most skittish heart fueled up, open, and charitable.
I asked Jet, if she were backed in a corner, which character would she want on her side. She laughed and resoundingly noted it would be Cheyenne. I agree. Cheyenne is by far the smallest and much older than the other too dogs but she has a loyal, undaunted ability to protect and defend to the end. Jet looked at me and said, “Cheyenne and I might not make it through a fight but we’d never abandon each other and we’d take a few with us before being defeated. – That’s a legacy I can live with.”
So, here’s my lesson of the day… Humans surround themselves with all types of ‘characters’ just as dogs do. What type of friends are you surrounded by? Do they contribute something healthy and beneficial to your life? If not, how’s that working for you? If not, consider better choices when you choose a new pal.
Q Okay, the question of the day is from Titan who asked: I was hanging out with my gal pals (the human ones) and they used a term – Arm Candy - I’ve never heard before. What does it mean?
Dear Titan:
It’s an awesome looking, much younger girl (that is seldom very bright) designed to help a needy man feel good himself.
