    Default A realization -

    I really love my dogs, but...

    My dogs sleep about 16-20 hours a day. They have their food prepared for them. They eat a well balanced meal twice a day, 24/7/365, with snacks in between. These meals and snacks are provided at no cost to them. They visit the Dr. once a year for checkups, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this medical plan they pay nothing, and nothing is required of any of them in return for this care. They live in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than they need, but they are not required to do any upkeep nor pay for any utilities. If one of them makes a mess, someone else cleans it up...again at no charge. They have a choice of warm, safe, luxurious places to sleep. They receive these accommodations absolutely free. They live like royalty and they have no expenses whatsoever. All of their costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.

    I was just thinking about all this and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head...

    Holy SHIT! My dogs are democrats!

    Hmmm, interesting perspective. Are they hunting dogs, because I would think that would disqualify them as Demos.

    Technically, I guess they would be classified as hunting dogs. They're Jack Russel Terriers. We call em Yard Sharks.

    They mostly just hunt for a warm lap to lay on.

    BTW...I didn't come up with that. I stole it from an email. Just thought it was funny and described my dogs pretty much perfectly.

    It is an interesting point of view.


    However, dogs are man's best friend, Democrats aren't!

    Hmmmmm. I think mine are basically Independent, although I wonder occasionally. The little one does a good job of watching the neighborhood goings-on through the front window, alerting the larger one to suspicious activity, and does his damndest to catch every rabbit he can sink his teeth into even if it means running out the front door after being given less than half a chance. The big one has shown in the past that he recognizes that his role is that of self-propelled security to include the mechanical restraint of someone not where they should be. So I'm willing to say they have a meaningful role. Now, if they could just feed themselves and clean up the yard, I'd be rich from cloning them.

    if we are going to use that perspective, I have a extreme liberal dog and a extreme conservative dog.

    the little one gets everything handed to her, the english setter works for his during the season!
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Remember, dogs are the other other white meat so in case SHTF you have some fresh meat for a couple days...
