life lessons from all fours...

at a time when mother nature is unleashing the end of days upon us, and a day after I am horrified that the public is shocked that, just once, 12 regular people decided they would actually believe that it was better to let 100 guilty go free than send one innocent to death, I am again remembering the simple lessons that the furballs teach each day. so here is an updated list of life lessons given to me by bacchus, hermione, nans, rick and rox...

if you are going to chew on someone, make sure they know you love them first...

sometimes it is more satisfying to just sit and watch the world go by...

life isn't always fair, sometimes there is a screen or a gate in your way...

...but if there is, take every chance you get to go past your comfort zone and experience the world...

with a bit of imagination, the packaging is better than what's inside...

it is not alright to mess with other people's shit...

...but if you really love them, you'll step aside...

everyone needs physical signs of love, even if it is a simple pat on the head...

don't be ashamed of your love for large breasts...

don't be ashamed of your big butt, your big, you're beautiful, own it...

it's ok to like being spanked...

no fence is too high to get past if there is a friend on the other side...

start every morning of your life with a whole lot of love...

...and when you think you've had enough love for that morning...give a little more...

it can make you feel better just to be in the presence of good friends...

no matter how annoying you may find your family and friends to be at times, they deserve your sacrifice...

some people may just be worth risking your life for...

respect your elders...

not everyone will like you, no matter how friendly you are...

there is no shame in joyful crying when a friend returns...

you don't need papers to feel validated...

head scratches feel really, really good...

...so does having your back rubbed...

...and your belly...

whenever you hurt someone, make sure you say you're sorry...

you are only as old as you feel...

...and it is best to feel like a kid again, even if just for a few minutes...

if your best friend is feeling down, nuzzle them...

sometimes, if you beg and plead long enough and loud enough, you'll get dessert...

nothing says love like cleaning someone else's ass when they can't do it themselves...

there is no better way to see the country than by car...

everyone needs a place they can feel safe...even if its just under the coffee table...

every adventure should end with a return home...

turn me back into that wild-haired gale.
