Mom and I usually breeze through several newspapers each day, both online versions and occasionally a print edition. We prefer online as it is greener option. We look for animal news, humans reaching past their small-minded selves, new technologies, and issues of the day.

Today in the Denver Post, Dan Haley, an editorial chap discussed life lessons with his pooch. Read Dan’s opinion piece, Letting Go of Riley. Riley was clearly the family’s greatest teacher. It sounds like Dan got the unselfishness message, that is when things are bigger than you are. Bless Dan and Riley for sharing what animals do best; we are your best teachers, just be still and listen.
