"A FAMILY IS 'RICHER' WITH A DOG."
Everybody gets off the lakeside when a rascal comes.He barks (speaks)for a little ball or a piece of wood to be thrown in the water.He is a rascal(bullo),he wants the area to be all for him.Dictator!(joked).

"You are the marriage of the temporary and the permanent.
There is something that you are that is extremely temporary.It will go away.
And there's nothing that you are that is so incredibly permanent,that it will never go away.
What are the two definitions?
"Temporary"...
that which wasn't,is,and will not be.
And what is the permanent?
That which was,is and will be.
Those two things have come together,and that's what you are.
Live this moment,every moment,as conciously as you can.And enjoy it.The point of it is,to enjoy it.
Celebrate today,celebrate every day
celebrate this life,you are lucky!"....
(Prem Rawat)

Actually,Alex is the name of my friend,a Yorkshire Terrier.He chosed me the first time we met when his owner had to give him away.I had a Dane,Giant Schnauzer,more cross breeds from a shelter,but this time someone smaller.It's like a transistor,light to carry,but makes so much noise.It can be tuned,anyway(trained..lol)
