An Interesting Tail
Recently, the Perry family put a down payment on a Labrador retriever puppy. She will be joining our current Lab (Nikki) in about six weeks. Our hope of course is that they will become good buddies and get along famously.
We visited the Breeder a few weeks back to apply the down payment. When we arrived we were welcomed by eight adult
Labradors – all pets owned by the breeder. Each of the Labs reflected a gentle disposition and was delighted to meet us – their new “friends”. We were essentially “mugged” with love by these wonderfully friendly and docile creatures.
We spoke to the Breeder for almost two hours swapping stories about these terrific animals. We concluded that if Labradors could talk they would rule the world. In many ways they are way more human than humans. We theorized that if the roles were reversed and Labs could talk and we could not, we figured that there would be no wars, we would not be in our current economic condition, there would not be artificial boundaries between countries and states, no murders, no crime, etc. Think about it.
Sometimes I look at our dog and wonder what she is thinking. Imagine if they could understand what we were saying, could read and understand what was being watched on television…I have to believe if they could, they would certainly see us as the inferior being.
Instead of wagging their tales, they would be shaking their heads.
