Oh the saddest of sights in a world of sin
Is the little lost pup with his tail tucked in!


The above quote is taken from Arthur Guiterman's poem, Little Lost Pup. Here's the full version.

He was lost!-not a shade of doubt of that;
For he never barked at a slinking cat,
But stood in the square where the wind blew raw
With a drooping ear and a trembling paw
And a mournful look in his pleading eye
And a plaintive sniff at the passer-by
That begged as plain as a tongue could sue,
"O Mister! please may I follow you?"

A lorn wee waif of a tawny brown
Adrift in the roar of a heedless town.
Oh, the saddest of sights in a world of sin
Is a little lost pup with his tail tucked in!
He won my heart, for I set great store,
on my own Red Beaut, who is here no more.
So I whistled clear, and he trotted up,
and who so glad, as that small lost pup.

Now he shares my board and he owns my bed,
And he fairly shouts when he hears my tread;
Then, if things go wrong, as they sometimes do,
and the world is cold, and I'm feeling blue
He asserts his right to assuage my woes
With a warm, red tongue and a nice, cold nose
And a silky head on my arm or knee
And a paw as soft as a paw can be.

When we rove the woods for a league about
He's as full of pranks as a school let out;
For he romps and frisks like a three months' colt,
And he runs me down like a thunderbolt.
Oh, the blithest of sights in the world so fair
Is a gay little pup with his tail in the air!

Arthur Guiterman




A man and his dog is a sacred relationship. What nature hath put together let no woman put asunder.

A.R. Gurney




It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.

Are you concerned about your family's food security? Do you worry about whether you'll have enough food if an emergency strikes (think Hurricane Katrina!)?

If you are concerned, you owe it to yourself to start planning now.

Did you know that North America's food system has about two weeks of food available at any given time?

If anything happened to that system, your supermarket's shelves would be empty within days. So what can you do? Start putting aside food.

Start by having $20 of free food delivered to your door. Then ensure that your neighbors start to become more food secure.
