We have two labs that bark at everything: the sun, the moon, the wind, each other, the cat, the cat's shadow, you get the idea. Mostly, though, they bark at people they do not know. I mean, if you pull up in our yard and they aren't familiar with you, they will let us know that there is someone unfamiliar in our yard. It is good to have an early warning from our two dogs when someone unfamiliar comes to our house. You feel some security in the fact that they are looking out for you. However, not all barking is good.
There are those nights, around midnight or so, that they bark at everything and awaken everyone in the house. Now, for the adults in the house, it is a nuisance. For the children, however, it is a PROBLEM. They awaken and they don't like being awakened. It reminds me of today's word...
Today's word is a saying I came across that I really like. It says, "If someone says bad things about you or judges you like they KNOW you, remember that a dog barks at people it does not KNOW."
People are always wanting to talk an belittle and put down and run down people, and they have absolutely NO idea what they are talking about. It is amazing to me how much dirt people can spread without a single fact included. What we have to keep in mind, especially when we are the subject of discussion, is that people always bark about things they don't know.
Be Blessed,
