Pondering...

Imagine what the world would be like if human beings were allowed to behave just like dogs.

My little guy, like most dogs, does not understand the meaning of boundaries. Earlier today, I was sitting at my desk (ok, in bed) typing, when all of a sudden, he came up to me, got right in my face, and started sniffing around. He finally found a spot that further sparked his interest and started licking the corner of my cheek incessantly until I gently pushed him away so that I could get back to work.



A few minutes later, he was back, this time sniffing around my...er, lower regions. This time, I nipped things in the bud before he got any unkosher ideas. Of course, he didn't appreciate the rejection and started barking in my face as retaliation.

The whole thing got me thinking...what if it were somehow okay for humans to pull the same sort of act? What if we could walk up to people and start exploring them in random places? What if we could react to disappointment by uttering extended loud noises in the faces of those who did us wrong?

Sure, chaos might ensue, but it would also help eliminate the mind games we humans like to play with one another.

Just something to think about as I once again do my best to fend off my dog...
