Marley and Me continued

We made it to the river!

On the way there I tried to say to Harvey, 'Don't go before you've finished (weeing, that is)'; it came out as 'Don't finish before you've stopped.'

It was just as well that Harvey couldn't hear me, not that he'd have listened if he could.

But I remembered that I wanted to quote a bit from Marley and Me.

"Status symbols mean nothing to him (dogs). A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. ... we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not. ... Sometimes it took a dog with bad breath, worse manners, and pure intentions to help us see."
