WRITTEN BY: EDDIE SNIPES – AUG• 19•11 A dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me… They must be Gods! A cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me […]

Animals do the strangest things. Reading a book, my cat crawled into my lap. While reading the newspaper, the cat jumped on the table. The young girl was walking the dog in a short skirt. The dog was chasing the boy with the spiked collar. The hunter crouched behind a tree waiting for a bear […]

WRITTEN BY: EDDIE SNIPES – JUL• 02•11Here is a collection of quotes about writing. I don’t know the source, but some of these have a bit of truth.
