Depressed from all the bad news?
Cindy Sheehan cozies up to hugo chavez and declares herself a candidate for Senate.
chavez wins the UNESCO award for some such thing.
Journalists with barely a peripheral knowledge of Cuba calling for an end to the embargo so that Americans can travel to Cuba and experience just how quaint it is.
The American Library Association just keeps shitting on Cuba's independent librarians.
The Iranians and Cuba are cozying up even further since fidel may want some Iranian nukes in Matanzas.
Kennedy and Kerry call for a filibuster of Alito.
Hamas wins an election.
Sheesh. I've been sitting here trying to get a grip and write on all these stories - and many more - and I cant get passed the f-bombs. It's hard some days to maintain one's sanity. Makes you want to stay in bed all day. Never leave the house, never turn on the news, never read a damn blog post.
But on days like today, when it seems like there is nothing but depressing news story upon depressing news story, when I just want to f bomb after f bomb, when the world seems to be going backwards, I know there's one thing for sure that always makes me happy. There's one thing for sure that's true and pure and good. There's one thing for sure I can count on.
This guy loves me:

Don't forget to thank these folks for their efforts at smoothing over life's little bumps.

Funny you should post this. I'm home sick today, but I couldn't tell you what I have...I'm just sick and tired...maybe of all you've mentioned and more. I don't know how you do it, Val. But just keep doing it.
We were watching the show "Nature" last night. It was about dogs bound for euthanization that are rescued by expert trainers and made into productive, working dogs. One was a bloodhound that ended up with a police force, the other was a bearded collie that was retrained to herd sheep. Very inspiring.
The show right afterward was about pets in general and how there is a connection between the well-being of, not only the owner, but the pet as well.
It may be that you feel good about your dog loving you, but he probably feels just as good that you love him. I kinda wish I had my old "Buddy" around again.
