    "You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!'" - Dave Barry

    "If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either." - Unknown

    "The more people I meet the more I like my dog." - Unknown

    You can't buy loyalty,they say,
    I bought it though,the other day
    You can't buy friendships,tried and true
    Well just the same,I bought that too.
    I made my bid and on spot
    Brought love and faith and a whole job lot
    Of happiness,so all in all
    The purchase price was pretty small
    I bought a single trusting heart,
    That gave devotion from the start
    If you think these things are
    NOT FOR SALE

    Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a wagging tail

    And for the dog lovers. :)

    A few more my wife reminded me of this afternoon:

    "A friend is something you are, not something you have." - Jerry Beaucaire

    "Character is what you do when no one is looking." - JB (said it my whole life, but I know someone famous had to have said it first.)

    "Fair doesn't mean getting what you wanted or worked for, fair means getting what you actually earned." - JB

    "Even if you think the answer is 'no', then you might as well ask anyway." - JB (mostly a philosophy used in bartering in stores for discounts. I'm shocked at how many times I get a 'yes' in places that you wouldn't think barter/negotiate prices.)

    A couple of stolen ones I used over the years:

    "Its easier to get forgiveness than permission."
    "You wouldn't worry about what people think about you if ever knew how seldom they do."
    "It is what it is."

    Wow... I LOVE this!! Its going in my signature... right... now! :)

    People are like stained-glass windows.
    They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
    but when the darkness sets in,
    their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

    Have a great week, I am off in the morning for a cool vacation. I am driving the truck and trailer with my four babies 6 hours away to see family that I love and miss terribly. I told my daughter that, I will be crying at the beginning (because I get to see everyone) in the middle (because I know the end of our trip is near, and at the end (because it's over)

    I can't wait... so while I am gone you guys behave and have lot's of quotes for me to read, I enjoy this thread so much!

    "When you take charge of your life, there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life."

    What we learn to do, we learn by doing.
    Thomas Jefferson

    Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity. Christopher Morley

    “Come to the edge.”
    “We can't. We're afraid.”
    “Come to the edge.”
    “We can't. We will fall!”
    “Come to the edge.”
    And they came.
    And he pushed them.
    And they flew.

    Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918

    I was reading Miley Cyrus's biography while I thought, "I wonder how many gumballs it would take to build a small house," while I was mounting a barbie's head onto a decapitated rat.

    ... last one... a bit too much?

    Not. Savory. Enough.
