IF A DOG WAS YOUR TEACHER

These are some of the lessons you might learn…
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them , Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride . Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it’s in your best interest ,practice obedience.
Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising . Run romp and play daily
Thrive on attention and let people touch you .Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.
On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass . On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
When you’re happy dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you’re scolded , don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout . Run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk . Eat with gusto and enthusiasm . Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal . Never pretend to be something you’re not .
If what you want lies buried ,dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day , be silent , sit close by and nuzzle him gently.

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
