Treinadores e Treinados

"Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend."
Corey Ford

"Devidamente treinado, o homem pode ser o melhor amigo do cão"
Corey Ford

Encontrei esta hoje, e é verdade... não é qualquer um que sabe treinar um cão. Tem que se aprender umas coisitas sobre o tema...

E, os cães só aprendem quando confiam em, e acham que, o chefe é mais inteligente que eles!

Democracia ou ditadura?

E, ao avizinharem-se as eleições em Portugal neste domingo, não deixo de pensar nesta definição de democracia:

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
Thomas Jefferson

No reino canino também há alguma tendência para os mais fortes disputarem a sua supremacia e exercerem as suas vontades sobre os mais fracos. Democracia, ditadura, há muita diferença?

Pois a ditadura é como uma família - é-nos imposta, na democracia são os 51% a eleger quem vai mandar em nós... Se ao menos saíssemos da rotina de ora darmos no cravo ora na ferradura...

A Criação...

On the first day of creation,
God created the dog.
On the second day,
God created man to serve the dog.
On the third day,
God created all the animals of the earth
(especially the horse) to serve as potential food for the dog.
On the fourth day,
God created honest toil so that man could
labour for the good of the dog.
On the fifth day,
God created the tennis ball so that the dog might or might not retrieve it.
On the sixth day,
God created veterinary science to keep the dog healthy and the man broke.
On the seventh day,
God tried to rest, but He had to walk the dog.

True love from dogs

Um cachorro é a única coisa na terra
que o ama mais que a ele mesmo.

A pessoa que não conhece o gosto do sabão,
nunca lavou um cachorro.
Franklin P.. o Jones

Ser-se excelente

Mais uma citação que encontrei na net e de que gostei:

I know so many people in my life who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear.

Yaro Starak

Animal Quotes

No philosophers so thoroughly comprehend us as dogs and horses.

A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.

It is not enough for a man to know how to ride; he must know how to fall.

Horses lend us the wings we lack.

If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question or asked the question wrong.

Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb.

Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.

Perfection is our goal, excellence will be tolerated.

Children's Quotes

Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.

Demência é hereditária, apanha-se dos nossos filhos.

Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young.

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents,
despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat
word for word what you shouldn't have said.

I love to give homemade gifts. Which one of my kids
do you want?

Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids.
