Dear Gus,
What is it with humans? Do they think we want to sit around on our rear ends just because of a little boo-boo? One time I stepped on a thorn, and it got infected. The vet and my people kept saying, "Rest, Oscar, rest!" Rest? All I wanted to do was play, even though I only had three good legs. There is, however, another way for you to spin this... You know what really helps dogs heal? Yep, that's right: dog treats. Lots of dog treats. You can tell your human I said so.
Thanks for the feedback about the post. Just a clarification: Allen didn't place that much emphasis on showing up; he actually said only 80 percent, not 90. He also said he's not trying to achieve immortality through his work (rather, he is trying to achieve it by "not dying"); he referred to himself as "at two with Nature"; and he said that money is better than poverty -- but only for financial reasons.
Hope your wrist feels better soon; I can't wait to go running around the yard! Best, Oscar
