Brodie leaks insights into “Digging a Hole”

Published on by Lucas Pam12 Comments

Digging a hole has always given me extreme pleasure.  While I can’t speak for other breeds, I can offer that retrievers are excellent hole diggers. We dig holes sporadically.  I have yet to wake up in the morning and declare that I would dig a hole that day…it just happens… whenever…with little thought…without thinking of the associated consequences.  We dogs dig shallow holes, deep holes…we sling dirt and mud and don’t care where it flies.  We dig with our paws and for the pure joy of it all.  This present political race to the White House presents some hole digging insights.

Think about how you’ve seen these folks running for the Office of the President… you’ve seen both sides dig a hole so quickly and so deeply that they become trapped.  So there is a difference between dog holes and people holes.  Dogs digging a hole is simply a sublime moment of pleasure…for politicians its disaster…Dogs dig joyfully with their paws and public servants move the earth with their wagging tongues…Dogs never clean up or close their holes and if lucky the hole…the work of dog art goes unnoticed. Political folks have to fill in the hole, back track, side step, deny, re-state, deny, pivot, us words that are opposite of what brought them into the hole in the first place.  Adding clarity, the lady’s holes are usually drilled carefully with cherry picking skills interjected…the Mr. T’s shallow holes resemble a wide ditch…whatever the description…both sides seem to have a penchant for digging holes that won’t fill back up and disappear.

Bottom line:  Dogs deserve to dig a nice hole now and then…folks running for the presidency of the USA…not recommended…

 

 

 

 

Brodie out front with the next three months

Political conventions ended…elephants & donkeys continued their bureaucratic journeys…spreading & speaking their political stuff as the media declares the next 99 days a “rocky road”; a blood-bath” and “incredibly nasty”.  Sound like something you want to follow?

My golden take says that these are unusual political times.  These are difficult times for many.  We have two parties, maybe a third (Mr. J. could be declared president of Utah as it stands now?!?!)…who will take every opportunity to say things that could harm or hurt each other, perhaps themselves.  There will be flying accusations, founded and unfounded.  Candidates pivoting techniques will leave questions or remarks unanswered…leading to further frustration for the public.  So, I dug up some quotes for you to ponder:

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” James Madison

“When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot.  When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.”  Dalai Lama

“We all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more.” ― Bill Clinton

“What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight- it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

“When they go low or high, you go golden.”  Golden Brodie… who retrieved what the present first lady said and made it golden.”

Go golden…
