Dog spelt backwards is goD.
I'm sure your dog would give up his life for you, to protect you. A cat would probably hide.

@Castlepaloma I would rather not think about god. thanks. I actually don't want my dogs to protect me. They are my children; I certainly don't want my children to be the ones protecting me. I'm always afraid that my dogs would try to protect me against someone or something and would get hurt in the process. Luckily, there has never been any incidents that would require anything like that. Interestingly, when dogs encounter me, they tend to think that I'm a dog. BTW, I have cats too.

@Castlepaloma This is the newest member of my family, Sultan. He is from Oman, formerly an Omani street dog, taken is by a rescue as a puppy. He just turned 2 in July. He surprisingly did very well in the extreme cold of Alberta winter but he does struggle in the summer with allergies to insect bites.

God is just a word, I would translate that to nature. Your dogs are family and seems like the ultimate love or centre of your world . Like my daughter is and my sculptures are to me. Knowing the dangers is controlling those dangers. Humans do require more work than anything, don't give up on them. You seen like a beautiful person , keep up the love and work.

My wood lifesize fishermen are selling much faster than I can make them.

@Castlepaloma Thanks, that’s really cool and nice workmanship. Great that they’re selling well and people obviously appreciate them.

Thanks,

Like the photo of the man in the swamp with both thumbs up. He must be a member of our optimist club. Lol.

Yes, pet owners are most or all at fault, dogs are easier to train than humans. One can even kick a dog and it will come back, where a human may not. Nothing is more loyal, friendly and gives unconditional love than a dog. Too bad I travel too much to own one.

@Castlepaloma I do not want anything I have to feed, clean-up after, take care of. Animal, vegetable or mineral.

Not for everyone.
