Some Thoughts about Thoughts

I have thoughts, and most certainly my two dogs

have their own thoughts as well. Of course they

have no idea about mine, and that is a good thing

for I often question the sanity of my thinking. These

two pups of mine have been with me side-by-side a

long, long time, so long I sometimes feel as if we

must certainly be of one mind. Foolish of me, though.

Just because they react instinctively to my every move,

how self-possessed I must be to believe they can actu-

ally read my mind. And as for me, to know whatever

it is they are thinking, one can only imagine. Likeli-

hood is, however, I’d be dead wrong. Even so, given

their unspoken thoughts and mine, for the most part,

we still manage to get along fine. But then, that’s just

me speaking my own mind.
