A Dog's Philosophy

I finally made it home! After more than 12 hours of travel and 2500 miles, I am sitting here on my couch at home relaxing in front of the TV. My dog is happily snoozing nearby, occasionally glancing at me to see if I'll do anything interesting; so far all I've done is run that annoying vacuum cleaner and clean his paws, which he hates. I've been thinking about dogs more lately (thanks to Up and to missing mine) and that reminded me that I had a list of quotes about dogs that was forwarded to me once in an email under the title "Dog Philosophy." I selected some of the funnier ones and post them here for your enjoyment. :)
