Wise Words and Kaziah


(If the eyes don't blink, click on the dog. Hey, Blogger broke the blinking eyes!)

Handle every Stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or play with it,

pee on it and walk away.

*******************
Even though this is a keep-tissues-handy story, it is a positive one that will bring a smile to your furry face.

Artist Kaziah Hancock founded Project Compassion, a nonprofit organization dedicated to painting every American military service member who has died on active duty since 9/11/ 2001.

There is a related article here .

(Kaziah is a pet lover.)

    I was going to be insulted by the dog wisdom, but cats really really need to learn that peeing in a fit of pique and walking away thing...

    The mom of the house know about this story of painting of the soldiers that gave their life serving their country. What a wonderful gift to give the family to remember them by.
    We are taking it easy, SS is with me all of July and some of August. The mom of the house isn't being too generous with the computer time right now.
    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
