I write because I'm afraid to say some things out loud.

Respect is based on Friendship, and friendship is based on love and love is so accidental isn't it?

Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee

Blessed are the keepers of animals.  Those that tie their souls to the welfare of trusting beings that stay steadfast and true.  Those that look at a dog or horse or cow, an animal of any kind and see good.  Can find peace in having a casual way around those that never waiver in their way of looking to humans.  I once wondered, do animals go to heaven?  I'd like to think they have a lot better idea of what that is than we do.  Here's to the good ones that we always seem to lose too soon.  And here's to the spirit of the wild ones as well.  It's that same spirit that makes a few humans great.

I thought about this for some time before I wrote it, and while it doesn't do justice to them it's dedicated to some of the best friends me and mine ever had.

Chuck Wilfong

They never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

Jerome K. Jerome

Friendship isn’t a big thing — it’s a million little things.
