Your Pack

It has come to my attention in a strange kind of way the difference between Dogs and Humans. Please bear with me while I explain. You will understand by the end of this writing I hope.

Dogs communicate better than we do. I know when to feed my pups, when they are over excited, nervous, curious, happy, content, sadly even when they are horny (so they are all fixed) they let me know in their own way. I wish I could say the same about my human companions. Dogs run in packs, and humans do as well if you can wrap your mind around this one. We as humans have our social groups which would equal a dog pack, our friends, our families.

Interesting though that in the human pack there seems to be a general lack of gratitude. We rarely share our bones, take responsibility for the mistake on the floor, or even get real excited when a buddy catches the ball in their mouth, or are happy that we chased a rabbit together. We don't eat together anymore (rarely), and when the day is done even if we got yelled at we don't forgive and get into the bed and snuggle up to stay warm.

Instead we read email and write back about ourselves, we don't say thank you for sending me the link, the song, the movie. We don't say thanks for thinking of me I needed a friend today. Funny thing though a dog will do it everyday, they somehow find a way to say thank you. When we die a friend will mourn for a few days, his or her dog will mourn the balance of their lives. How embarrassing for the human race that we are not as smart.

Answer me this, is your life so full that you only have space for yourself in your pack? I think you know what I mean.
