A customer and I were talking in the shop today and he was reminiscing about some trouble he'd gotten into several years before. I don't know exactly what it was, but I got the definite impression he'd gone on an "enforced vacation." And then he looked at me and said "Please don't judge me by what I did when I was young and stupid."
And I told him that my yardstick for measuring people is how they treat their dogs. I hadn't really thought about my answer before it came out, but I've decided I like it.
Sure does say a lot about folks, I like it!

I can't really think of a better way to judge people than the way they treat a creature who never judges people.
ReplyDeleteI won't date anyone my dogs don't like. And if they don't like my dogs? Finis. I knew my ex and I were done when my rock-stable matiff pinned him against a wall...
ReplyDeleteExcellent answer. My thoughts exactly!
ReplyDeleteI probably will never have another girlfriend cause my dogs will sleep in the bed with me, and she can sleep on the couch if she doesn't like it!
