A Four Year Olds Wisdom

[Strike For The South]

A four year old child's wisdom: Why dogs do not live as long as people? Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."


:sad:

If you are a vet can you tell me why that particular breed of mutt is not likely to make it to 10 years of age ?

It is also why dogs don't post in the Backroom.

I could let my dogs use my account, but I'd probably get banned. The girls have really strong feelings on Russian hegemony and human rights, and the boy is more fixated on his bollocks than Tribesman.

This is a hard politics subsection of a war-game forum, not some crochet board for menopausal housewives. Leave this sappy crap in the spam folder where it belongs, or at least the Frontroom. :soapbox:

[Devastatin Dave]

There, cleaned it up, edit yours (the quote part) before I hump your leg...

[Gregoshi]

Okay Dave, you've been fixed. That should help solve your humping issues.

[Devastatin Dave]

God I'm such an idiot, I completely missed your joke...
Yes I'll kep it clean!!!:laugh4:

Hey strike is time to put this old dog to sleep...

[Banquo's Ghost]
