The Wolf and the Fox
(an AESOP fable)
AT ONE TIME a very large and strong Wolf was born among the wolves, who exceeded all his fellow-wolves in strength, size, and swiftness, so that they unanimously decided to call him "Lion."
The Wolf, with a lack of sense proportioned to his enormous size,
thought that they gave him this name in earnest, and, leaving his
own race, consorted exclusively with the lions.
An old sly Fox,
seeing this, said, "May I never make myself so ridiculous as you do in your pride and self-conceit; for even though you have the
size of a lion among wolves, in a herd of lions you are
definitely a wolf."
seeing this, said, "May I never make myself so ridiculous as you do in your pride and self-conceit; for even though you have the
size of a lion among wolves, in a herd of lions you are
definitely a wolf."

Good point, Six!
Thank you for the post you left on our blog. We love you too, Wendy! Thanks for being so supportive and just for being our friend.
I hope our Family can get back to a point where we can all have respect and love for each other, and a little more like the old days.
By the way, you should hear Dumplin (our Bombay cat) behind me. He's lying on my couch, curled up in a ball, and SNORING to beat the band.
I have a follow up for your post from a Dennis Miller rant.
"Power is all about perspective. Sure, the lion is the undisputed King of the Jungle, but drop him in Antartica and he's just a penguin's bitch."
Love ya, ^_~
