Grandpa's Dog

Haley and I were at G&G Sisson's on Sunday. We got such pleasure from Trixie. She's sweet, quiet and a great lap dog. I couldn't resist getting this picture of Grandpa and his dog in their favorite configuration. "smile"


As I was preparing this post, I decided to look to see what quotes I could find from Winston Churchill about dogs. Churchill has been One of Dad's favorite people to study. This was the only Churchill quote about dogs I could find. Sorry Dad. It still gave me a chuckle.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Here are a few more quotes that I enjoyed.

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.


Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.



We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.



We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.



When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.



You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
