~Dedicated to Pepper..who passed just recently~



~As Good As My Dog~



If you can start the day without caffeine...
if you can get going without pep pills...
if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains...
if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles...
if you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it...
if you understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time...



If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you...
if you can take criticism and blame without resentment...
if you can ignore a friend's limited education
and never correct him...
if you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend...
if you can face the world without lies and deceit...
if you conquer tension without medical help...
if you can relax without liquor...
if you can sleep without the aid of drugs...
if you can honestly say that deep in your heart
you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics.....


Then My Friend........


You are almost as good as my dog !!!!!!!!!!
