This shot went viral on Facebook. And I’m not surprised. Dogs are the living examples of unconditional love. It’s no wonder a lot of us would do anything for them. Like taking your 19-year-old dog with arthritis for a dip in the warm waters of Lake Superior to soothe him.
It sure as hell beats politics. It’s pretty sad. I’m already getting sick of the election season, and I’ve been back less than a week. Can we fast forward to the election or at least to the debates? I want them to get down and dirty in the ring. I want them to say the things they’re saying now face to face. Right now, it’s just soft jabs, polls that are about as accurate as a Magic 8 ball, and million dollar PAC ads.
Give me a picture like this everyday and twice on Sunday. I must just make it through this season.

I wish I could program my TV so that when a political ad comes on and I hit the mute – this picture came up instead.

Girl, you’re in VA, right? Another swing state. I would be wishing that too.

Yep – its obnoxious here – phone calls, competing ads (which all seem to have the same vocal announcer no matter who the ad is for), mail inserts…arghhh

Yep … pets are great examples of unconditional love. Yep again … it does beat politics – but I could go into unconditional love in politics, but won’t.

Good call because unconditional love doesn’t exist in politics. All kinds of conditions may get you liked.

Then again, there are those who blindly vote for a candidate based on party. Is that unconditional love? FYI: I once told a neighbor that he would vote for bin Laden if he had (R) after his name. … and the neighbor had no response.

Wow. You got him. He probably would, too.
