How about a new Topic..Our Pets: Doggy prayers

I had a dog named Jenny when I was growing up. When I’d come home, she was always so glad to see me. As a little girl, I trained her to walk across the room on her hind legs and my mother got so worried that I was hurting her back. For the movie "The Lucky One," I was the one who had to be trained. The script called for me to go running with several dogs on a leash. That was probably the trickiest thing I had to do, learning how to run with all those dogs. I kept falling. Yeah, it was fun to run. I like to run. But the scene where we run into the pond, actually it was an accident. The dogs started treating me like I was like a part of the pack. They weren’t listening to me. I was trying really hard to hang onto their leashes, but the dogs were all excited and I fell into the water. But it looked so good on film that they just kept it in the movie--

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends –

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who have not got the guts to bite people themselves –

accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful

My dogs are there to teach me to take a break. I tend to work a lot because I have so much going on whether it’s film or novels, but my dogs will come up and about once an hour they’ll let me know, "Hey, you need to get outside. You're going to turn fluorescent purple here if you keep staring into that computer screen. You need to take a little break." They’re there to remind me that there’s more to life than work --
