Every Dog Needs a Little Boy

EVERY DOG NEEDS A LITTLE BOY!
Happy Birthday, Reba McEntire!

When my grandson was about 6 or 7 (he is now 18), he wanted a dog like every other little boy his age did. His mother would not allow a dog. I had Sheba who was about 7 years old...calm but still playful when encouraged. I felt so bad for my grandson, that I asked him if he would be Sheba's boy. He said a dog can't have a boy and I told him, "oh, yes they can!---every dog needs a little boy to play with and watch over and take care of." I told him that even though he could only be Sheba's boy when he was here, Sheba would be happy about it. He thought and then smiled and told me, "Yes, I will be Sheba's little boy." So in one decision, a little boy was happy and a big dog was happy and didn't even know the part it had played in making that little boy happy.


Answer to yesterday's trivia: Zeppo Marx of Marx Brothers fame owned a patent for what? A wrist watch with a heart monitor.
Today's trivia: What pasta and seasoning mix was introduced in 1970 by General Mills and why?
Thought for the Day: The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
