My Best Friend
28 Jul
As I was driving my snazzy rental car, along a very busy multi-lane highway today in Ontario, Canada, I had the music turned up enjoying (most of) the songs playing on the radio. At the end of one song the DJ shared some stats and a newly released survey… who did the survey I don’t know, why they did this survey I don’t know, but the fact that this survey was even considered as one that would have merit to conduct and the results are what caught my attention:
“Fifty-six percent of the people polled said that their computer has replaced their dog, as their best friend.”
Really!!!
Think about it… if my computer died… I would probably: swear, complain, whine, and be really perturbed… but it wouldn’t break my heart…
Terrible news. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. She was such a sweetie. I am so sorry.
Good article Genny. Did not know Mona passed. When? So sorry.
I can’t believe that stat. When I lose one of my animals, it is like losing a lover, a best friend, a confidant. If my computer goes down, it is an annoyance, an inconvenience, an issue. That unconditional love, those eyes, that tail…no way can a computer come close to replacing one of my “kids”!
Genny,
Sorry to hear about Mona, Alan and I lost our dog to cancer recently and we understand the heartache of the loss. They are truly family members!
