DOGGIE WORDS OF WISDOM
This is a picture of the dogwalk fund raiser we held in Aug. 2002. This is a classic pic. of Journey pawing through the ice buckets at the dog walk fundraiser event. Another naughty lab taught her when she was only a tiny baby, to paddle in everyone's water bowl at the dog park, the ice bucket was just a colder version. Here are some funny e-mails I have received from you dog nuts. Don't forget to sign the guestbook. Journey growls if you don't. Enjoy....
JOURNEY'S WORDS OF WISDOM
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, dispite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared is doubled.
JOURNEY KNOWS THE BOTTOM LINE
The Final Analysis
People are often unreasonable, and self-centered,
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you:
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
JOURNEY KNOWS
People will forget what you said........................
People will forget what you did..........................
But, people will never forget how you made them feel.
A dog story. Anyone who has pets will really
like this. You'll like it even if you don't and may decide you need one.
Mary and her husband Jim had a dog, Lucky. Lucky was
a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company
come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends
to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would
help himself to whatever struck his fancy.
Inevitably someone would forget and something would
come up missing.
Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the
basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of
Lucky's favorite toys. Lucky always stashed his finds
in his toy box and ! he was very particular that his
toys stay in the box.
It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer.
Something told her she was going to die of this
disease...she was just sure it was fatal. She
scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her
shoulders.
The night before she was to go to the hospital she
cuddled with Lucky. The thought struck her...what
would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old
dog liked Jim he was Mary's dog through and through.
If I die Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He
won't understand that I didn't want to leave him. The
thought made her sadder than thinking of her own
death.
The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her
doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for
over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk
faithfully but the dog just drooped, whining and
miserable.
But finally the day came for Mary to leave the
hospi! tal.
When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she
couldn 't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim
made his wife comfortable on the couch and
left her to nap.
Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her
when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon
overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a
second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She
couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and
hot. Panic soon gave way to laughter though when Mary
realized the problem. She was covered, literally,
blanketed in every treasure Lucky owned!
While she had slept the sorrowing dog had made trip
after trip to the basement and back bringing his
beloved mistress his favorite things in life. He had
covered her with his love.
Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began
living again, walking further and further together
every night.
It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free.
Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes them in!
his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.
Live everyday to the fullest...because every day is
a blessing from God!
TAIL WAGGIN' TALES
A guy sees a sign in front of a house:
"Talking Dog For Sale."
He rings the bell and the owner tells him that the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.
"You talk?" he asks.
"Yep," the mutt replies.
"So, what's your story?"
The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping."
"I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals."
"I had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
The owner says, "Ten dollars."
The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"
The owner replies, "He's such a liar. He didn't do any of that stuff."
This Is A True Story
The following ad in "The Atlanta Journal" is reported to have received numerous calls:
"SINGLE BLACK FEMALE...Seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips & cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call xxx-xxxx and ask for Daisy."
Over 15,000 men called the phone number and found themselves talking to the local Humane Society about an 8-week-old black Labrador Retriever.
Men are so easy....
SUBJECT: QUESTIONS THAT DOGS MIGHT ASK GOD
Dear God;
Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?
Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named after a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around in a vehicle? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog:
I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they are tasty, they are not food.
The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.
The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registeration.
I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying "hello".
I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.
I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
I will not throw up in the car.
I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is over.
The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.
And last but not least Dear God, when I go to heaven, can I have my testicles back?
POLICE STORY
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the
station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a
little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked.. "It
sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back
of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"
I received this letter today from my 10 year old son. I just helped him set up a new e-mail address so he said that Journey must have sneaked into his room and used his computer. I thought it was pretty cute for a kid his age & it gave me an idea of what to do with all those photos I have of her listed on my hard drive as Journey's Mischief. Check at the bottom of this page for a link that will take you to the one and only Journey's Naughty Files.
She is turning 1 year old this month and it's a funny look back on her puppy no-nos.
