Silent Sunday - If Animals Could Speak


"If animals could speak,
the dog would be a blundering, outspoken fellow;
but the cat would have the rare grace of
never saying a word too much."

Mark Twain

Everybody thinks that stuff, but it could be that if animals could speak, dogs would be quieter than cats. Cats seem to have so much to think about everything that goes on, I can't believe they wouldn't be know-it-alls.

Well now - isn't that the truth!
Hope you are keeping warm my friend!

June: *chuckle* You may be right. Just watching my two though, I'm inclined to think that Willow (dog) would be a chatterbox who never takes a breath, while Luna (cat) would have well thought out words of wisdom to share on any given topic.

Catherine: We're venturing out for 10 minute play times and warming up in between.

I love this quote, and Bootsie would approve, but I think he would be chattering about food a little too much.

"Food,is there food, where's the food, are you feeding me now? Right now, not now, is there food."

And in between that he would just regard us with disdain.

Love the pic!
My two cats would be constantly bickering, and Kelly would be constantly asking "but WHY can't I go outside and play in the snow???"

I consider Twain one the smartest men that ever lived. Beautiful photo.

Jen: *lol* Maybe it's a good thing he doesn't speak English, after all.

Chieftess: Now that you mention it, I think I'd blush if I heard what Luna has to say when Willow is pestering her relentlessly.

Caroline: *grin*

Christina: Luna is the most photogenic and easy going subject. It's amazing that she puts up with a camera mere inches from her nose.
