What my dogs have taught me

The air conditioners broke..thats it..broke..I live in an area where my home is technically in a mountain and I am less then 3 miles from a beach, so I am contemplating replacing it. The nights are cool with a gentle breeze filled with "katy -dids" and mosquito..neither particularly the positive points of my story. But during the day it is hot...beach hot..to hot to do very much..and so the dogs have taught me what to do..I figures they knew after all they are so much smarter then I...They lie on the floor and watch the world pass, I suppose they might read if I gave them a book, but they do they lie in the shade on on the covered porch just taking it slow as it comes...I have learned to follow, I have set up an umbrella in a lovely spot on the deck and a sprinkler nearby where they run trough it and try to gobble up the streams of cold water.They enjoy life every minute, they dont think about dinner or the large dust bunnies that roam the house freely.my dogs seize the day and enjoy it for all of its hot loveliness and have taught me how to..unless I really enjoy being how sweaty and miserable...no..a walk in the woods though the creek or a run through the  sprinkler sounds just about right to me these days...there will be plenty of time later for the dust bunnies.

Politics and Fido

...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
