" The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien."

Here are some quote puzzles from past topics on Dog General.

Topic: Puzzle 47
"The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog."

Topic: Puzzle 46
"The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too." by Samuel Butler

Topic: Puzzle 45
"Every boy should have two things: a dog, and a mother willing to let him have one." - Anonymous

Topic: Puzzle 44
Dogs never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

Topic: Puzzle 43
Once your dog has given you his love and trust, it is almost impossible, insofar as your dog is concerned, to break that relationship.

Topic: Puzzle 42
"I once decided not to date a girl because she wasn't excited to meet my dog.
I mean, this was like not wanting to meet my mother."

Topic: Puzzle 41
Spring is here and with it comes
muddy pawprints in petloving homes
though the pooches we love without a doubt
mud tracking canines we could do without!

Topic: Puzzle 40
It's no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Topic: Puzzle 38
"Why is a pup a human's good and faithful pal?
I don't know but I do know it is a love that will not fail."

Topic: Puzzle 37
"Victorian society rejected the notion that pets were capable of feeling or expressing emotions."

Jackiesdaisy- Hey, I just love that last quote! I want at least 2 more dogs. First one I'll name "Bobby McGee" after that great ol' hippie song, done by everyone from Janice Joplin, Kenny Rogers, Kris Kristopherson, to Gordon Lightfoot. Second dog will be named "Shageluk" after a wonderful group of Athabascan kids at Innoko school on the Iditarod trail. BUT of course the BEST DOG OF ALL IS THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW!

I liked that song "Bobby McGee", I would have many more dogs, but at my age I have to think what would happen to them and you are right the Best Dog is the One You Have Now.
I have a cousin who raced sled dogs up in New Hampshire, I thought I saw a movie about the Iditarod, is that where they race the dogs up through Alaska for quite a few days., with only minimum rest?

Jackiesdaisy: Anyone besides Jackie who is interested in learning more about the Iditarod Dogsled Race in Alaska can go to
( http://www.iditarod.com/index.shtml )
This is a great website to start gathering information on dogsledding, kennels, mushers, veterinarian checks, ect. There are so many links once you become interested in dogsledding & great books that you'll never come to the end. Jackie You have a great source in your cousin. Do it, you'll find the dogs love to race & pull. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif PS A good musher keeps the health & care of his dog team as his number ONE priority! The race has 3 mandatory rests, one for 24 hours, the other 2 for 8 hours apiece. Thanks for asking Jackiesdaisy. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

A little longer than a quote, but to good to pass up! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif "My wife and I enrolled Molly, our lovable but dumb cocker spaniel, in a ten-week obedience class. At the end of the term Molly had made little progress. We re-enrolled her, but at the end of the second course Molly was still noticeably behind her canine classmates. The instructor, perhaps determined to succeed with our dog, offered to let her repeat the course for the third time at no charge. That evening I heard my wife on the phone with her mother. "Guess what?" Marcie said, "Molly was the only dog in her class to get a scholarship!" http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/wink.gif

Bea, you can delete a post if that happens. Just go to the one you want to delete, and click the edit button, then look for the little box that asks if you want to delete the post. Check it and poof that post is gone.

Also another idea if you have to edit a few times, is when you are editing to remove the previous "edit" notations on the bottom. Or you can push your pages back to your original post, make the changes there, submit again and then delete the original post which will still be there.
