Nothing about Viktor Frankl’s book. It’s another Sunday and today in particular felt lousy watching T.V. though it was supposed to be a good film. Hear dogs barking like crazy in the street and my dog in particular was extremely excited that he could not get out to join them. .  Went out to see one full grown but emaciated dog who was cowering against the onslaught from the others.  After watching for some time,   I chased the attackers away.   I offered the poor fellow water in a bowl.  He drank and then rubbed himself against me smelling my foot.  From the beginning I knew something was wrong but could not place it . Now at close quarters I could see his collar was almost choking him. It was a thick, double band synthetic one and he could hardly move his neck.  Probably abandoned as a pup and he had grown. I offered him some kibble and let him lick me so I could befriend him . Then assuring myself he would not bite , I t...

"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." — Will Rogers   (actor,   A Connecticut Yankee ) "Happiness is a warm puppy." — Charles M. Schulz   (cartoonist,   Peanuts ) “Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.” — Agatha Christie   (author,   Death on the Nile ) A dog is not "almost human", and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such. ― John Holmes "I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it." — Abraham Lincoln   (16th President of the United States) “Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.” — Dean Koontz   (author,   Whispers ) "You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us." — Robert Louis Stevenson   (author,   Tr...

( picked from the web as I found it extraordinary  - author unknown . Suggested reading  when alone and slowly --- --  ) ________________________________________________________________________________ ......They told me the big black Lab's name was Reggie as I looked at him lying in his pen. the shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street.  But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to. And I had just seen Reggie's advertisement on the local news. The shelter said they had received numerous calls right after, but they said the people who had come down to see him just didn't look like "Lab people," whatever that meant. They must've thought I did. But at firs...

I  mean the Audience. If you knew, you would not do this GVM. Fine, Trilogy excuse accepted, post Kaakha Kaakha and Vetttaiyadu Vilayadu. But there were glaring mistakes,  IMHO; ·           Simbu was the best and probably only actor who could do justice to the role in VTV. But GVM, In Yennai Arindhaal anyone except Ajith could hv been good. Aasai, Vaali and even stylish Billa was ok for Ajith.  He just cannot play intense characters.  Dot. ·           Anushka as choice of heroine was worse. She was supposed to be the little sweet thing who needs to be protected. Here we have Anushka at 5 ft 10” ,  towering over everyone with what my wife tells me is called “out of bed hair style”.  She does best in mature roles as in Theiva Thirumagal.  Not as someone who will drool at Ajith at first sight. ·           St...
