In Seattle we live among the trees and the waterways, and we feel we are rocked gently in the cradle of life. Our winters are not cold and our summers are not hot and we congratulate ourselves for choosing such a spectacular place to rest our heads.
Garth SteinIโve always felt almost human. Iโve always known that thereโs something about me thatโs different than other dogs. Sure, Iโm stuffed into a dogโs body, but thatโs just the shell. Itโs whatโs inside thatโs important. The soul. And my soul is very human.

Only the present moment is clear and free from prejudice.
