What is happiness ?





Q : What is happiness ?
A : It's the look on an old blind dogs face when his nose tells him that there will be croissants for breakfast . ( The fact that he gets croissant ends for breakfast nearly every day in no way diminishes this happiness ) .

Q : What is happiness ?
A : When a three day diagnosis turns into eleven months of laughter .

A Happy Labor Day to one and all .

    That's as good a definition as any we've seen.

    How was the bat lecture? Did the Bozos ever return to fix the gloop problem?

    May Wilf continue to enjoy every day to the max.

    Just goes to show you that the 'experts' often aren't experts at all. They are 'guessers' just like the weatherman!

    A very happy looking dog. The old saying "eat to live and live to eat" was obviously meant for PON's and croissants!

    When it's time for a kiss on the nose, my PON gets two. One for him, one for Wilf x

    Happiness is: Being allowed to share your laughter-filled journey. We so enjoy our daily visits to France Profonde to see what Wilf and his loving caretakers have been up to. And we agree with JackDaddy: Wilf has earned the middle of the croissant. ;)

    Wilf has proved the adage that 'happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling and living!'

    Eleven months, one day at a time. Or maybe two croissant ends at a time...

    Seeing Wilf's face makes me happy! I can't believe he's made it 11 months, I only hope he makes it another 11+.
