“One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you’re feeling blue is that he doesn’t try to find out why.” – Unknown
Particularly appropriate for all of us in Christchurch as we work to recover from last week’s earthquake. Keep your pets close and stay safe.
“With the eye upraised his master’s look to scan,
The joy, the solace, and the aid of man;
The rich man’s guardian and the poor man’s friend,
The only creature faithful to the end.”
George Crabbe, poet, 1754-1832
