I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog.
All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong...
There's no need to travel further. The Los Angeles area is big enough for us.
I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'
