This month's story was submitted by George from Forestville, CA Everything I always wanted to know about life, I learned from my dogs. Meet Bailies and Draco. Bailies (on left) is a 15 year old Cairn Terrier, Pomeranian mix who always has a smile on her face. Draco (on right) is a 6 year old purebred Boston Terrier who's always ready to play.

Somewhere along the line, these two dogs have won my heart. What have I learned about life from these two canines? It's never too early to take a nap, even if you just got up from one. Almost everything is good to eat and should be tried at least once. Life CAN be about food. Playtime is always; drag your feet for the unpleasant stuff. Play hard of hearing when it's bath time. Don't sweat the small stuff. All can be forgiven for a treat. Strangers are to be approached cautiously. Strangers might have something good to eat. Even your mortal enemy (cats) can become your friend. Love can be unconditional.
