And in return, dogs give us their all. It&#8217;s the best deal man has<br \/>\never made.<br \/>\n&#8212; M. Facklam<br \/>\nDogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people,<br \/>\nwho are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.<br \/>\n&#8211;Sigmund Freud<br \/>\nIf I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I<br \/>\nhave known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.<br \/>\n&#8212; James Thurber<br \/>\nI wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing<br \/>\nin his water bowl.<br \/>\n&#8212; Penny Ward Moser<br \/>\nA dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around<br \/>\nthree times before lying down.<br \/>\n&#8212; Robert Benchley<br \/>\nI wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird<br \/>\nreligious cult.  &#8212; Rita Rudner<br \/>\nDogs need to sniff the ground. It&#8217;s how they keep abreast of current<br \/>\nevents.  The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of<br \/>\nlate-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are<br \/>\noften continued in the next yard. &#8212; Dave Barry<br \/>\nAnybody who doesn&#8217;t know what soap tastes like never washed a dog.<br \/>\n&#8212; Franklin P. Jones<br \/>\nMy dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3 a can.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s almost $21 in dog money. &#8212; Joe Weinstein<br \/>\nOutside of a dog, a book is probably man&#8217;s best friend. Inside of a<br \/>\ndog, it&#8217;s too dark to read. &#8212; Groucho Marx<br \/>\nEver consider what they must think of us? I mean, here we come back<br \/>\nfrom a grocery store with the most amazing haul &#8212; chicken, pork, half a<br \/>\ncow. They must think we&#8217;re the greatest hunters on earth! &#8212; Anne Tyler<br \/>\nWomen and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax<br \/>\nand get used to the idea.<br \/>\n&#8212; Robert A. Heinlein<br \/>\nN.B.  Dear Husband&#8217;s favorite quote is probably the one by Grouch Marx, and mine is the one by Heinlein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following post is an e-mail I received today.
