Confucius say…

Today is the birthday of Confucius – the famous politician, and philospher who lived a long time ago. He was a smart guy who wrote a LOT and had many famous quotes. And, although I didn’t read ALL of the literature on this fact – it appears that “Confucius was one of the first people in Chinese histroy to be recorded as the owner of a pet dog”.* Who knew? If you want to read a detailed account about the role of canines in early Chinese history, I will attach an article at the end of my blog. It’s heavy reading – but kind of interesting… Now keep in mind that the article talks about the practice of eating Fido – so BE PREPARED. That’s OBVIOUSLY not a practice I support – but the article gives an idea of how the practice began.

As I did a few years ago, I have taken a couple of his quotes and paired them with photos. Here they are:

And as I also did before, I have written my very own quotes. Well, they are not entirely my own – and you may recognize parts of them….

Great minds think… about how to get into the treat jar.

Anything that can go wrong probably will… happen as my human is on the way out the door to work. And we have probably caused it…

Hell hath no fury… like a PON when supper is late.

Ignorance is… not knowing how to counter surf.

A penny saved… buys more dog treats.

I think, therefore I …end up in trouble.

I’ve never met a …treat I didn’t like.

     That’s it for my philosophizing for today. It’s hard work being a blog writer, a philosopher,
   a guardian, and a comedian.

     It is FRIDAY!!!!!!!! Let the weekend begin!

Have a good one! Peace and paws up!
