Simple Truths of Life

I recently read a book entitled "Simple Truths of Life" by Linda Ellis. It was very uplifting with many inspirational and wise quotations sprinkled throughout.  One came to mind this past week attributed to Will Rogers: " Common sense ain't common."  When I came home after work, my daughter greeted me with her cat, John Robie, sitting on her lap and wearing one of those big dish collars. Robie had decided to investigate a doggie treat in the process of being consumed by our aged golden retriever, Alex Dabulls Hickok. Normally an fairly easy going canine, Al took exception to the intrusion and bit Robie near his ear. So perhaps a new simple truth for Robie will be: "Nothing good can come from inserting one's nose between canines and their treats."
