I read this in Babrius tonight and thought of Dawn:
"A man about to go on a journey said to his dog standing by:
'Why are you gaping? Get everything ready; you are going with me.'
The dog wagged his tail, fawning on his master, and said: 'I've got everything; it's you who are delaying.'"

Oh how sweet!!! I love that and will probably steal it - or at least reference it. :)
Imagine what life would be like if humans could act that way? Especially towards each other? Sigh.

GREAT!
"am dog, can travel"
ps I hope you don't mind that I linked you with the expression cowabunga....
def. used to express delight or satisfaction :-)
Morinn: I always enjoy it when I can find value or humor in something written nearly 2,000 years ago.
Dawn: Since the fellow who wrote this has been dead for quite some time, I think it's in the public domain.
Melanie: Dogs make more sense than people a lot of the time.
Kat: Cowabunga? Cool enough. Makes me think of Bart Simpson, who's a cool little dude when he isn't busy being choked by Homer.
if and when you see Fried Green Tomatoes you might then replace your current image with a new and improved image :-)
cowabungaaaaaaaaa!
Kat: What? Dump Isis? My "ba" would be cooked if I did that!
