ODDS AND BODS

Oh dear, what did they hang around your neck?


Well, we all have flaws sweet Little Pup but never you mind! All you have to do is wake up the next day, and say to yourself, “I am going to try again. This is the day I will know the difference between a poodle and a sheep.” Just keep going and never give up. And always remember, don’t be so hard on yourself. This picture is for you Little Pup! The animal in the center of the picture and the other animals that look like him, are the sheep. The animal on the right is a poodle! He is agile and graceful and smart but is not judgemental. He realizes we all were a little confused at one time. A mistake makes us humble, an achievement that we work hard for no matter how small, will show us to never to give up. And tell your humans not to hang that sign of shame around your neck. Sheep and poodle do not approve. 


And…


Now, I am…


while Grandpa Pup is remembering the old days. Wake up! Listen to Grandpa. He has some great stories to tell. 


And one for the kitty lovers out there. 


As for me…


If you would like to see another dog post I made, there is this one from a trip to Williamsburg a couple of years ago.  

I hope you have enjoyed my touch of whimsy, and remember not to be so hard on yourself.

  6. I am with Ginny, forgetting faster than remembering more each day. I do for now know the difference between a poodle and a sheep, but looking at the graphic they really do resemble each other... Precious Pup with the sign, hope they removed it quickly
