You can learn a lot from a simple dog ...
1) Take naps frequently
2) Eating is always good
3) Always stop to smell (sniff) the flowers
4) A good day is day in which he can run around the back yard or play
in the snow
5) But then a good day is also a day in which he just sleeps
throughout the day
6) Always happy to meet new friends and overjoyed when he around
the people he loves
7) Always wants to be near you and follow you wherever you go
8) Hugs and kisses are always welcome
9) Always hope that life may bring you new surprises (treats)
10) Through rain, snow, or shine - you gotta do what you gotta do
(in Buddie's case - go for his morning and evening walks)
11) Even if you yell or get mad at him - he'll still come over and
nozzle you with his black nose, gaze at you with those big
black eyes, and everything is okay again.
That's the way to live life and to love someone.
That's what I've come to realize anyway.

Not sure he liked hearing "DOG OF DEFENSE" during the Supa Bow
I like your post. Reminds me that there are more important things in life than just material wealth and power.
