Tid Bits#7

DAWG DICTIONARY
(continued from tid-bits 6) :-)

THUNDER: THIS IS A SIGNAL THAT THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END. HUMANS REMAIN AMAZINGLY CALM DURING THUNDERSTORMS, SO IT IS NECESSARY TO WARN THEM OF THE DANGER BY TREMBLING UNCONTROLLABLY, PANTING, ROLLING YOUR EYES, AND FOLLOWING AT THERE HEELS.

NOW TALK ABOUT CALM

GARBAGE CAN: THIS IS A DOG TOY FILLED WITH PAPER, ENVELOPES, AND OLD CANDY WRAPPER. WHEN YOU GET BORED, TURN OVER THE CAN AND STREW THE PAPERS ALL OVER THE HOUSE UNTIL YOUR PERSON COMES HOME.
(note, wait until the can is full.)

SOFAS: ARE TO DOGS LIKE NAPKINS ARE TO PEOPLE. AFTER EATING IT IS POLITE TO RUN UP AND DOWN THE FRONT OF THE SOFA AND WIPE YOUR WHISKERS CLEAN.

BATH: THIS IS A PROCESS BY WHICH THE HUMANS DRENCH THE FLOOR, WALL, AND THEMSELVES. YOU CAN HELP BY SHAKING VIGOROUSLY AND FREQUENTLY.

GEESE FACTS AND LESSONS

THIS FALL, WHEN YOU SEE GEESE HEADING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER FLYING ALONG IN A "V" FORMATION, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER WHAT SCIENCE HAS DISCOVERED AS TO WHY THEY FLY THAT WAY.

FACT: AS EACH BIRD FLAPS IT'S WINGS, IT CREATES A "UPLIFT" FOR THE BIRD IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING. BY FLYING IN A "V" FORMATION, THE WHOLE FLOCK HAS AT LEAST 71% GREATER FLYING RANGE THAT IF EACH BIRD FLEW ON ITS OWN.
LESSON: PEOPLE WHO SHARE A COMMON DIRECTION AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY CAN GET WHERE THEY ARE GOING MORE QUICKLY AND EASILY BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAVELING ON THE THRUST OF ONE ANOTHER.

FACT: WHEN A GOOSE FLIES OUT OF FORMATION, IT SUDDENLY FEELS THE DRAG AND RESISTANCE OF TRYING TO GO IT ALONE. IT QUICKLY GETS BACK INTO FORMATION TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LIFTING POWER OF THE BIRD IN FRONT OF IT.
LESSON: IF WE HAVE AS MUCH COMMON SENSE AS A GOOSE, WE STAY IN FORMATION WITH THOSE HEADED WHERE WE WANT TO GO. WE ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THEIR HELP AND GIVE OUR HELP TO OTHERS. IT IS HARDER TO DO SOMETHING ALONE THAN TOGETHER.

FACT: WHEN THE LEAD GOOSE GETS TIRED, IT ROTATES BACK INTO THE FORMATION, AND ANOTHER GOOSE FLIES TO THE POINT POSITION.

LESSON: IT IS SENSIBLE TO TAKE TURNS DOING THE HARD AND DEMANDING TASKS AND SHARING LEADERSHIP. AS WITH GEESE, PEOPLE AR INTERDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER SKILLS, CAPABILITIES, AND UNIQUE ARRANGEMENTS OF GIFTS, TALENTS, OR RESOURCES.

FACT: THE GEESE FLYING IN FORMATION HONK FROM BEHIND TO ENCOURAGE THOSE UP FRONT TO KEEP UP THEIR SPEED.

LESSON: WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR HONKING IS ENCOURAGING. IN GROUPS WHERE THERE IS ENCOURAGEMENT, THE PRODUCTION IS MUCH GREATER. THE POWER OF ENCOURAGEMENT (TO STAND BY ONE'S HEART OR CORE VALUES AND ENCOURAGE THE HEART AND CORE OF OTHERS) IS THE QUALITY OF HONKING WE SEEK. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUT HONKING IS ENCOURAGING AND NOT DISCOURAGING.

FACT: WHEN A GOOSE GETS SICK, WOUNDED, OR SHOT DOWN, TWO OTHER GEESE WILL DROP OUT OF FORMATION WITH THAT GOOSE AND FOLLOW IT DOWN TO LEND HELP AND PROTECTION. THEY STAY WITH THE FALLEN GOOSE UNTIL IT DIES OR IS ABLE TO FLY AGAIN. THEN, THE LAUNCH OUT ON THEIR OWN, OR WITH ANOTHER FORMATION TO CATCH UP WITH THEIR FLOCK.

LESSON: IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE, WE WILL STAND BY OUR COLLEAGUES AND EACH OTHER IN DIFFICULT TIMES AS WELL AS IN GOOD.

RAINBOW BRIDGE

There is plenty of food and water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old
are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed
are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them
in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing:
they miss someone very special to them
who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance.
The bright eyes are intent,
the eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to break away from the group,
flying over the green grass,
his legs carrying him faster and faster.
YOU have been spotted
and when you and your special friend finally meet
you cling together in joyous reunion,
never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face,
your hands again caress his beloved head
and you look once more
into the trusting eyes of your pet,
so long gone from your life
but never absent from your heart.
Then you pass over the Rainbow Bridge together.
