I will show this thread to my friends that love dogs - I believe they will like it too. Animal Lover664 ![]() Anonymous: Ruslana- When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body;We often have bad mood or depressions but when something good happens we are rarely glad to the maximum. Dogs are absolutely different in this respect. Dogs can be 100% but 100% happy too. Humans can be 100% sad and 50% happy. Good stuff by the way. How come I missed this thread? Awesome one! This makes you realize that the main things in life are family & friends (human or animal), but not money, financial worries or snobbery. Newcomer04 Anonymous: All so simple but so true! Thanks.
