I have a dog who seems content with life. I don't think he wonders why he's here. He doesn't seem interested in math or science. He seems more interested in licking himself. He loves smelling every **** thing on a walk. He pees on things like he's flipping the bird. He doesn't worry about bills or taxes or politics. He doesn't watch the TV except Animal Planet. I know someday he'll die and we will weep and envy his ignorance or wisdom, unsure which.
