Greetings from the animal shelter in Friday Harbor! My name is Rhubarb and I’m hoping someone will adopt me or foster me soon! I’m what you might call a “Golden Girl” and these concrete floors are a little hard on the old bones….
In the meantime, allow me to give all you youngsters out there a few lessons I’ve learned about life:
- Never pass up a chance to go for a joy-ride in the car. Be sure to stick your head out the window! (Don’t worry about messing up your hair.)
- Take lots of naps. If possible, find someone to take naps with you. Snuggling is good for the soul. Be tolerant of those who snore.
- If you want something, stare at it for a long time. Nine times out of ten, you just might get it.
- Thrive on love and attention. If someone wants to scratch you behind the ears, let them!
- When someone else is having a bad day, sit close to them and just “be there” for them. Someday they may return the favor… and it might even include a treat!
- You are never too old to love someone with all your heart. Take a chance!
- Sometimes people don’t keep their promises and that’s o.k.
- Love unconditionally.
