Have yu ever noticed that your pets make no judgementss of you except for the way you treat them and even then they are willing to forgive. People aren't like that. Most people like to watch others and point their fingers.

Sometimes folks get notions, 'Bout certain people, places, things, And get the wrong impression, From the feelings that they bring. Without finding out for certain, The impression that they got, Was correct in the beginning, They go off half cocked. They hold forever grudges, Make enemies, lose friends, And clinging to false sense of pride, Don't try to make amends. It's the mind of the human being, In this case that's to blame, What goes on in your own mind, Oft leads to pain and shame. Some folks are so wrapped up in self, That they see nothing else. They never learn from their mistakes; For they're caused by someone else. This I've learned from watching, Taking notes and keeping log. The more I see of people, The better I like my dogs.

Your last line sums it up Judy, dogs dont bear grudges or show any signs of hate. We could learn a lot from them. Tom

So many bear grudges and will neither forgive nor forget. Which is why a dog is man's best friend. ~~
