A MUST read for everyone
Friendship isn't about who you have known the longest, but about who came and never left your side~unknown
The last words of a very intelligent dog
Before I go, I just want to remind all you pups and kitties to always have plenty of love for your humans even if they might be grumpy. Sometimes they get caught up in all sorts of things and take us for granted. That doesn't mean they don't love and need us. Also you humans, remember why you have us around. If you are feeling stressed out, pet us. It's been proven to lower your blood pressure. Also keep lots of treats handy. And for everyone, enjoy life. Always take time for walks, frisbee and CAR RIDES.
And one last thing for you humans. If you are considering adding another dog to your home, think about giving one of older dogs a chance. We don't chew up your shoes, pee inside (well, not unless we really can't help it) or need lots of training. Plus you will have a very loyal friend for the rest of our lives. ~Domi, the therapy dog, 1996-2009

The House Dog's Grave
by Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962)
I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream; and you,
If you dream a moment,
You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do
On the warm stone,
Nor at the foot of your bed; no,
All the nights through I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
Outside your window where firelight so often plays,
And where you sit to read‚
And I fear often grieving for me‚
Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying.
A little dog would get tired, living so long.
I hope that when you are lying
Under the ground like me your lives will appear
As good and joyful as mine.
No, dears, that's too much hope:
You are not so well cared for as I have been.
And never have known the passionate undivided
Fidelities that I knew.
Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided...
But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end. If this is my end,
I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.

Hello there Scout and Freyja!
Sorry to be late with our SWC post. We are just about to watch the game and silly Mommy thought she would give a few comments about the game instead of making doing something Italy-related or inspired.
Do visit us tomorrow and we'll sure to have our post up.
We love the photos you have today. The elephant soccer made Wai-Pai hide under the chair. That is one giant soccer ball! BOL

Woof! Woof! Great Photos. Happy Flag Day. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Very cute. I watched a music video yesterday showing all African animals with soccer balls. I think it was for the South African team. It looked like the soccer balls were edited in, but it was still cute.
You notice that Jack was not in any of those pictures - because he would have eaten the ball! :)
Furry pawesome pikhs from start to finish!

Great animal pics... just right for the subject, and Happy Flag Day from Corgi Country. Ours was waving, and our hope and prayer is the same as yours! The CCC
Great pictures. They are so so so cute. It seems football fever is everywhere now, I think I've to let Eva learn some kicking skills as well. The only problem is she's more interested in stuffies than balls, sigh!!!
