After our youngest child left home to go to college we had to fill the "empty nest"

We did not really expect it to get this full.

NEW YEARS GREETING FOR DOG LOVERS

For every dog searching trash cans for breakfast - a full bowl with his name
printed in bright letters.

For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained in a frozen yard - a
soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.

For every shelter dog, spending New Year's Eve in a soiled run - a forever
home, filled with sounds and smells of family.

For every "Christmas" puppy given - a tolerant, caring owner who won't
abandon you as you grow into a real dog.

For every ailing pet - enough money for your owner to pay the bills to make
you well.

For every lost dog - a clear, safe road, and well marked path, to lead you
home.

For every old and tired friend - a warm fire, and a soft bed, to ease your
aches and pains.
_______________________

YOUR DOG
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

The number of dogs worldwide is estimated at 400 million, roughly the human population of the United States and Mexico combined.
A dog’s nose has roughly 220 million olfactory receptors, 40 times as many as humans have.
Dogs can hear frequencies up to 45,000 Hz, about twice as high as humans can.
