I’ve always contended that we can learn a lot from our pets. While we have a good many other things which need our attention, a dog’s simple philosophy carries considerable weight. If we’re satisfying out basic needs as mammals, we’re putting ourselves in a better position to deal with our other human responsibilities.
So, today, listen to your body. Scratch what itches. Be glad when your people come home and, always, remember the simple joys of life.

Teddy Roosevelt's eccentric daught Alice Roosevelt Longworth is often quoted with her thought "I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches." I'll bet she liked animals.
That's Bertie's motto, too. I wonder if he likes Roosevelts.
