| How can YOU support Senior Boxers when you CAN NOT adopt one? Last Fall when our own Mascot Seamus passed on to the Rainbow Bridge, we established a special fund just for Seniors. Regular donations are greatly appreciated. SCBR would never overlook or shut the door to a senior at a shelter in need of being rescued. We believe they ALL deserve a second chance. Send your checks, payable to SCBR, TODAY! ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE and you can still make a difference! |

A Lesson In Life
I asked the Master how could one find the greatest
satisfaction in life. He thought for some moments and then
said gently, "By disciplining one's self and learning to live
divinely in small as well as great things."
I asked him if He thought it possible to live divinely in a
world so filled with hatred and violence. He nodded
vigorously - He had no doubt about it!
I asked if He would tell me some of the qualities considered
requisite for living "the superior life".
Listen to them: Love, contentment, unselfishness,
appreciation, loyalty, sincerity, devotion, enthusiasm, joy,
simplicity, frugality, gratitude, self control, faith,
genuineness, courage, sympathy, tolerance, understanding,
good manners, strong observations, strengths with
gentleness, unselfish attitude, dignity, freedom from evil
purposes, and the ability to be interested in people and
things for their sakes and not for personal return.
"Suppose one had all these qualities," I said, "And suppose
he lived them so silently, modestly, but radiantly, that men,
women and children were happier and better for having
known him. What would you call one like that?"
He smiled and answered, "Most people call him dog."
