“Colin, I was just reflecting on my FB life and realized the person I talk to most is an 80 lb. German Shepherd mix named Ray. Coincidence? I think not.”
The above was copied off an FB account, and presents an interesting picture of the social media. I can well imagine that there are quite a few people who spend as much (if not more) time chatting with animals, than they do with other humans. Of course, that should not be surprising given the traits of the average animal vs the traits of the average human.
The scenario does fall down rather badly when one considers the average dog’s ability to use our various communication devices. The inevitable question to the writer of the above comment would have to be “How do you know it is Ray on the keyboard?”
The next time you believe you are chatting with Ray, think it through carefully because he is more likely to be doing this …
… or this …
… or this!

Love! Gave me chuckle! 🙂

LOL! Ray knows how to outsource so he can focus on the important things in life. I have to admit that most of the instagram posts I see are created by dogs who seem to have a speech impediment 😉

Perhaps it would be better if he did not have his own FB account? 🙂

He looks good even when napping! I am part of a cat group on FB (I know you are stunned) and yes, I spend more time with them than with real (and I use that term loosely) people!

Well I think that we all, quite naturally, gravitate towards minds that compliment our own … be it cat, dog, kangaroo, or perhaps even human. 🙂
