I Am As Confounded By Dogs As

Cats Make One Of The Most Satisfying Sounds In The World: They Purr. [...] Almost All Cats Make Us Feel Good About Ourselves Because They Let Us Know They Feel Good About Us, About Themselves, And About Our Relationship With Them. A Purring Cat Is A Form Of High Praise, Like A Gold Star On A Test Paper. It Is A Reinforcement Of Soemthing We Would All Like To Believe About Ourselves -- That We Are Nice.

It Doesn't Matter Where You Are In Your Own Personal Development, Nor Has It Mattered Where You Have Been Culturally; Dogs Simply Don't Pass Judgment On You The Way All Of The Rest Of Life And All Your Other Companions Seem To.

We Derive Immeasurable Good, Uncounted Pleasures, Enormous Security, And Many Critical Lessons About Life By Owning Dogs.

If You Don't Own A Dog, At Least One, There Is Not Necessarily Anything Wrong With You, But There May Be Something Wrong With Your Life.

It's Our Mortality That Terrifies Us, Because What We're Really Seeking Is Immortality - That Is, After All, A Fool's Errand.
