Only the ignorant believe that US food is as advertised...
There probably is a correlation between decades of imposed atheism and a lack of public morals. The chickens have come home to roost .
She was also my flying buddy. She could differentiate between the aircraft keys and the car keys; when I would jangle them she knew what vehicle we were taking.
Dogs know so much,it’s a pity they can’t talk to us.
I have a friend who drives a beer truck and delivers to restaurants. In many cases, those illegal aliens are sleeping in the kitchen too.
I was able to talk to my border collie in complete sentences. She knew exactly what I was saying. I’ve told some posters here and elsewhere that I’ve had more intelligent conversations with my dog than with them. LOL
