The small dog thinks it's a big dog, a huntress. She kills possums and woodchucks, swallows mice whole, like they are gummy bears. A big dog thinks she is a lap dog. She thinks she weights 7 pounds, not 77. Another dog is just your run of the mill dog, happy to please or to leave you alone if you are done with him. The cat, well he thinks he is a dog.
A quote about dogs: “No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships
are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the
relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of
themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we
cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously
or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us
yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness,
the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown." --Dean Koontz
A quote about cats: “When I am feeling low all I have to do is watch my cats and my courage returns." --Charles Bukowski
