Preferences

If anyone said being on my work site is boring, it certainly isn't. The white dog, is the 'resident' of this street. She apparently belonged to the car park security people before the area became a construction yard. She had a 'brown' friend, who apparently passed on, because of age and she has been alone for quite sometime.

I have always been concerned for her, because drivers these days do not drive slowly, even when not on the main street - they make quick, sharp turns and hit the accelerator all the time. But being a street dog, I suppose, she knows when to hurry along and when to just trot across the road. Today, she brought a friend - a golden retriever. Funny, how her previous pal was a brown mongrel and now her current pal is a tan retriever. I wonder if there is any significance, not that it really matters, but , do dogs have preferences?

When people refer to another person as a dog, usually it's derogatory to some extent. Dogs are known to just follow commands 'without thinking it through' because it's their nature to please which isn't always seen as a trait of strength.

Therefore, in this case, white dog, apparently has a preference for brown pals - living example that dogs may be yappy and always happy to see you, only because they are holed up with you, having no other choice. If you let them free, perhaps we'd appreciate that they can make a decision on their own, without having to take cues from us.

Bottom Line : things are never as simple as they seem to be. If we took time to ponder, we may find clearer definitions and a more level understanding of how things/people really are.
