Old Friends

I went to Boston this past weekend to visit a old friend that I haven't seen to 20 something years. What a great thing this was for me. I haven't many close friends and this get together was something else. I found it interesting that after not seeing him for so long and trying to catch up on the past that only a few things in my life really matter. Georgie, my family, my health, and Cash. Sure a lot of things happen in our lives but they only change the direction we go. The outcome is only what matters.

Looking forward to see the Bitter Root Valley this spring.

A Pet's 10 Commandments...

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my ell-being.

4. Don 't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don 't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
