Sex, politics, and religion...

The three things one should never talk about at work!

However, today I was an observer/infrequent commentator to a heated discussion that involved all three!

Although the actual topics of sex and religion were not brought up, and one could argue nor was politics... the discussion relied upon, was based on, and ultimately was influenced by all three!

You see, of the two primary participants:

One was female and one was male...
One was liberal and one was conservative...
One was non-christian and one was christian...

So... sex, politics, and religion influenced this discourse!

The discussion was about Constitutional Rights.

I remained silent for most of the discussion, listening, learning and observing. I only made one comment, which was really insignificant and didn't add anything too or change the conversation in any way...



DOGS...

When I left work, I went to my friends house where I am staying. I am house/dog sitting for them, with my dog Sadie, and another mutual friend's dog Sassy. So I have three dogs in my charge: Marley, Sadie, and Sassy!

They all get along, which is the most important thing! I have had to work with and 'correct' a few behaviors here and there; however, I have learned that dogs are some of the best listeners in this world!

They appear to be attentive when you talk to them, they never talk back or interrupt (unless the door bell rings), and they truly are able to sense your mood! Offering up a lick/kiss, a paw, a snuggle, the tilting of the head, the ear going back/up...

It is an amazing thing that one can have a stressful day... only to come home and be humbled by a dog!

Which I am convinced now! Dog is an anagram for God!


Peace!
