Memo to Self


Be more like George. His pleasures are simple: sleep, eat, walk, play with ball, give and receive love. His worries are few. Well, none, actually, that I know of. He does not worry about the Republican majority in Congress; nor about the national and global economies; nor about being patted down at the airport. He does not worry too much about the weather, though I suspect he's a bit uncomfortable with the heat. He's a bit irritable with small children, but that's understandable. And he's keen to defend us from the threatening presence of other canines. Right now, he's asleep in his bed under the dining room sideboard, chin propped up for comfort on the edge. And they call it a dog's life...
