Companion Animal

People talk, dogs bark, plug your ears if you don’t want to listen.

How lucky am I, to keep company with such a loyal companion.

My dog and I are Cancers, which must be why we get along so famously.

~Nichole Hastings

Yesterday I was a dog.

Today I’m a dog.

Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog.

Sigh!

There’s so little hope for advancement.

~Charles M. Schulz

There never yet has been a dog
Who learned to double cross,
Nor catered to you when you won
Then dropped you when you lost.

~Mary Hale

Folk will know how large your soul is, by the way you treat a dog!

When the Man waked up he said,
“What is Wild Dog doing here?”
And the Woman said,
“His name is not Wild Dog any more,
but the First Friend,
because he will be our friend
for always and always and always.”

~Rudyard Kipling

I like any dog that makes me look good when it stands next to me.

We are two travelers, Roger and I.

Roger’s my dog — come here, you scamp!

Jump for the gentleman — mind your eye!

Over the table, — look out for the lamp!

The rogue is growing a little old;

Five years we’ve tramped through wind and weather,

And slept out-doors when nights were cold,

And ate and drank and starved together.

~John T. Trowbridge, The Vagabonds

When most of us talk to our dogs, we tend to forget they’re not people.

~Julia Glass
