Life without hope is a year without spring. ~William Arthur Ward, American motivational writer

The Jealous are Troublesome to others, but a Torment to themselves. ~William Penn, English writer and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania
When
Silence
Is the mode
For us to “talk,”
You must realize
That problems won’t be solved,
Feelings will be swept under rugs,
And a satisfying, peaceful
Relationship will never happen.
I guess this is the way you want it though.
The only way to thaw out a cold war
Is for the parties to meet midway.
Somebody has to make a move,
And the other one does, too.
Relationships never
Survive jealousy.
Isn’t it time
You met me
Halfway
Now?

Monkey Gets Hurt — Part Two
Best doctor in the world is the Veterinarian. He can’t ask his patients what’s the matter. He’s just got to know. ~Will Rogers, American humorist, author, and actor
I Monkey here, with a continuation of yesterday’s tale.
(What, you haven’t read it? Leave right now and do so or this part won’t make sense. We’ll wait.)
Since Mama wasn’t getting any medical help from my dogtur, she promptly called another vet but was told I’d have to wait two weeks before they could see me.
Holidays, you know.
In the meantime, they told Mama to keep me quiet so my paw can heal.
Don’t they know how impossible it is to keep a herding dog quiet??

I Monkey here.
Mama’s cleaning the house, or decorating, or some such nonsense, so I’m commandeering her laptop because I have something BIG to complain about.
And her blog is just the place to do it.
