It looked to me like the dog wasn't interested in enlightenment.

Peace & Love!

No, probably not... but, dog's are moody as well.

Zhuangzi and his friend were walking along the river.
'Look at the fish,' Zhuangzi said with a smile, 'how they jump and somersault, they are enjoying themselves so much!'
'You are not a fish,' his friend said, 'you can't know if they are enjoying themselves.'
'You are not me,' Zhuangzi replied, 'you can't know if I know if the fish are enjoying themselves.'

Hehehe. Okay. Okay. You made your point.

What the heck do I know? Not much, for sure, but I do have my perceptions.


Hey VJ. You think dogs are moody? Try doing something like that to a cat.

Peace & Love!
Peace & Contentment!

Great in what way? Because you said so? Your statement implies he must be on a higher level than others. You continually refer to a hierarchy while denying none exist.

Dogs are loyal, that is enough for them and a lot for us! B)

Cats don't lie, that is enough for them and a lot for us! B)
