Instructions for properly hugging a baby.

Laurie said Aug 24, 2006, 12:20 PM:
 

ATTENTION  ALL DOGS!!!
THE  FOLLOWING ARE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVERY DOG TO  KNOW: 

Instructions  for properly hugging a baby.
1.  First, spy a baby.    
2.Second, be sure that the object you spied was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques. If you smell baby powder and the wonderful aroma of wet diapers this is indeed a baby.
 
 
3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually  beginning the hugging process. **Note: The added slobber  should help in future steps by making the “paw slide” easier.
 
         
4. The “paw slide” - Simply slide paws around baby and  prepare for possible close-up.
 

5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute the difficult and patented “hug, smile, and lean” so as to achieve the best photo quality.
 
 
 
Dogs, if this is properly done, it will secure you a warm, dry, climate-controlled environment for the rest of your  life.

David,
I would be surprised if they were not… :) Thank you for bringing them to us, my friend!
I am pasting them below for the rest of us to enjoy. And it is still a trial and error game as I am using Firefox browser only to drag and drop them one by one - what a JOY, ah? Hopefully we'll have a more elegant and efficient way to do 'dat' soon! :)

Have a SUPER Joyful day and weekend!
Darina :)

David, yes your e-mail was the same as mine.

Darina, that is so bizzare because when my posted message appeared, all the pictures were there … ?  Thank you for inserting them for me.  This was just too cute not to share!

Isn't life great!!!

Blessed are the Silly!

“It was a happy day when I discovered that in the English of Chaucer's day - which was also the time of the Black Death - the word “silly” meant “blessed.” I am not sure when we strayed away from its original meaning, when blessedness took on a churchy aura and silliness became the realm of Monty Python and fourth-grade scatological humor. As hard-working adults we too often lose the gift for letting fo, for delight in simply being. We persuade ourselves that every moment must be lived productively; like the busy little bee, we feel a holy obligation to improve each shining hour. We would do well to take very small children or big silly dogs as our teachers.”
