Teddy and the Dream of Pythons

Working out of the apartment today, because I'm on a huge deadline. And even though the boss is aware of that, he begged me to call in for a "brainstorming session" at ten. Knowing Joe, I knew it wouldn't start at ten, but here it is, 11:40, and we still haven't started. This has put a huge crimp in my work schedule.

Last night I had a dream that I was living back at home, only the home was three sizes larger than what we actually have. Joe and David were there, and the kids, too, sleeping in their beds. For some reason, huge nasty snakes had made their way into the house and kept circling the kids, and I was trying to get David's attention to help me round up the poisonous snakes.

There was a huge yellow snake, with sleepy black eyes. He had a huge body. I remember it pouring its thick muscular body through a mousehole.

Gee, I wonder what that could all be about? :)

I don't usually post these wicked things...biut I liked this one

If a dog were the teacher ... you would learn stuff like:

1) When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
2) Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
3) Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
4) When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
5) Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
6) Take naps. Stretch before rising.
7) Run, romp, and play daily.
8) Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
9) Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
10) On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
11) On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
12) When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
13) No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout ... run right back and make friends.
14) Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
15) Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
16) Be loyal.
17) Never pretend to be something you're not.
18) If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
19) When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
..... and finally .....
20) Never trust anyone until you sniff their butt.

(I don't really intend to carry out number 20...)
