Useless, Absolutely Useless
by Zia ~ August 28th, 2005. Filed under: Pets.Most dogs were bred for something. Australian shepherds herd sheep, braving cold, wet weather and stampeding hooves. Labradors sniff out and retrieve birds and other game with their keen hunting instincts. Newfoundlands plunge into icy water to rescue drowning people and retrieve ropes.
And then there’s Harry.
Harry would get stepped on by a sheep. He’d last about 3 seconds in the wilderness by himself. And he can only swim if he starts paddling before he hits the water; otherwise he sinks. Yep, he was bred for one thing and one thing only.
To lounge.
Observe, if you will, my dog in his natural habitat.

Zia,
Does Harry need a playmate? I have another dog that needs a home that will end up at the pound if we cannot find one for him. Give me a call.

What’s so useless about doing nothing, I think he is highly evolved spiritually, isn’t that what enlightment is all about. The empty mind,the desire to just be!

And plus, he’s the cutest animal that ever lived.
