I have always been a dog lover and had dogs most of my life. I am also one that believes that a dog does not have to have a pedigree to be a good dog. In fact, the last several dogs that I have had in my lifetime, came from the pound. Dogs that no one else wanted often become the best pets. Now check out this video and you’ll see what I mean. All of these dogs came from the pound.
A wonderful friend sent me a link to something called “Learning to dance in the rain.” I found the message to be very powerful and beautifully done. We are supposed to help each other out if and when we can so if you’re going through something that is hard for you, please go to danceintherainmovie.com and I’m pretty sure you will find peace and hopefully a smile too.
My Italian (by marriage) Aunt sent me this and I almost rolled on the floor when I read it. Aunt Sophie is a blast and has a wonderful sense of humor. I hope you enjoy this too.
An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie
