As the owner of pug dogs for over thirty years, I can attest to the fact that a harness style dog collar for short-nosed dogs like pugs or boxers or French bulldogs are more comfortable and safer for them.  Before I became knowledgeable about this breed of canine, I was using regular round dog collars but found that they pulled on the dog’s neck, which was causing coughing and choking.  Now that I have been using a harness type collar on the dogs, the pressure of the pull is on the dog’s chest area, not the throat. This is much more suitable, comfortable and safer for the dog.  I have had as many as three pugs at one time and used harness type dog collars on all three, even while walking all of them together.  I was able to find a leash at an online site that had one handle and on the bottom it had three leads and three clips that attached to each collar.

The commonly defined manner of thinking about emotions is a statement that basically emphasizes that the psychological perception of some fact excites the mental affection entitled the emotion, and that this latter state of mind gives rise to the bodily expression. In other words, we first have a visual experience, which is followed by an emotional state, and then a physical function proceeds. However, when emotions are deeply analyzed this sequence is proved incorrect, because it does not clarify the true aspects of an emotion. The correct sequence for our emotional states is when the bodily functions follows right after the perception, which results in the conception of emotions such as anger, excitement, sadness, etc. An example would be: If a man does not physically laugh as he imagines something extremely funny, the main emotional state of joy and laughter will not be conceived because they depend on the bodily functions just as much they depend on the perception.

Let me tell you a story about a young lad that started a never ending quest to shave his dog. Yes… to shave his dog. For his birthday his parents bought him a dog…a very hairy dog. The dog grew to the point where you could hide yourself in his fur. So the boy had enough of it because the dog’s hair was falling all around the house and there was hair everywhere! He took his dog and went out to find a place where he could have his dog shaved. Most people want to cut the hair of the dogs but this kid wanted to shave his dog. If only you could see the dog after it was shaved. It looked like a pink sac of meat and 4 legs. So the boy was happy now. Or at least thats what he thought. He now wanted to tattoo the dog. So he had his dog tattooed a cat on his back, a bone on his tail, and a kick me on his right back leg. Well the dog was sedated all this time so he couldn’t feel any pain. But something weird happened when a flying pig and a headless horse came flying in a space shuttle. They wanted to take the dog with them but the kid wouldn’t let them have the dog so he cut the wings of the pig and shaved the horse. They became friends after this unusual event and the lived happily for another 2 weeks because the dog ate the kid and then the parents sent the animals away: the dog to a dog shelter, the pig to a farm and the horse… to the cemetery… he had no head… THE END

I bet you never had the curiosity of asking your self that question… And I also bet you never cared whether he is round or any other shape. You never cared about his reasons of being, about his craves, his dreams or his needs. Maybe the apple wanted to be round so he could resemble the earth. Maybe he thought that you would love him more if he were round. Have you ever asked what the apple looked like 1000 years ago? Maybe, just maybe the apple is round so he could help the worm that’s eating him from inside not to fall. Imagine what a square apple would look like. Perhaps apples do have a heart, real feelings and dreams of evolving into something more than they already are. So next time you decide to eat an apple just stop for a second and ask him, and not only him… Ask yourself: Why is the apple round?
