No one knows what to do If I breathe in my poodle's poo Can I shake paws with my cat If I rub her tummy Is there a caveat And God protect me from the friendly St. Bernard Who slobbers all over me I need a bodyguard In fraught times like this Where to turn for advice Seems the truth really is We're just rolling the dice

Hello Gershon … it appears cuddling your pet cat or dog is safer than standing beside another human now - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Nice one. I like pets but can’t be bothered spending too much time in their care. Need someone else to do that for me.

Ah, the big crap game of life. Just keep rolling one day at a time, keep your pets close by for good luck and perhaps some solace when we occasionally crap out.

Thanks for perceiving what I tried to accomplish, i.e., inject some humor into a serious issue. Thanks, Gershon

Gershon, I love these references to the devout caregivers our pets are or hope to be. St Bernards are true blue and stout of heart. -Richard

Yes, the St. Bernard has a well deserved reputation. Stay safe, Richard, and thank you for your thoughtful comment. Best always, Gershon
