All God's Creatures, Great and Small...
"Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills."
~Voltaire, letter to Count Schomberg, 31 August 1769~
"I pride myself in trying "not" to understand my dogs' worst intentions...just as they pride themselves in trying "not" to understand mine. It makes things more pleasant for both of us when we spend time together."
~Charlie Gesell, owner of MIP Studio about his two dogs, Toby and Cosmo, 18 May 2010~
Toby- September 1997-October 2010
RIP old friend.
