I believe we all could use humor on a daily basis. It's healthy to laugh. It makes moments and parts of our days less stressful. Humor makes life more fun and interesting. Kidding around at work or at home, with friends or anyone for that matter brings a smile and sometimes much laughter.

Let's face it life is not easy. If we take everything too seriously and don't find humor or make our own humor than life is even tougher. Isn't it nicer to go to work and share a laugh or two? We still go to work we have too, but why not kid around a bit, tell a joke or a funny story or look at something in a humorous way.

We had an easier time gettng him to the vet but when we left the vet's office my dog decided that he was going to lay down in the parking lot and not move. Now we had a problem. Here is my friend all dressed up for a work appt. with me and my dog. I can not begin to tell you what we had to do this day. We struggled with this dog like you can't believe. We first started running back and forth to the car trying to get him to move or excited to get up. Than we tried to trick him into thinking I was leaving as though that might work. We tried bribery with food and treats you name it.

My friend had a meeting and the clock was ticking away, the stress was building and we were becoming more determined and I must admit frustrated. We finally
