I must admit that my heart has often desired greatly to have a powerful rage, something so terrible and awesome that whatever (or whoever) is the cause for my aggravation would immediately cease or be destroyed by flames erupting from me. I tried venting such a blood curdling barbaric yawp on our puppy to instil dread and awe in her feeble frame. She responded by wagging her tail with her posterior, leaping against me in glee and licking my legs with enthusiastic love. Such is the futility and comedy of our rage I suppose.

Fiery start for 2008. The comment took me back when I let rip with the rage once, the resulting shame has me curbing the feeling ever since. Great puppy.
Voorspoed, seën en geluk vir die nuwe jaar.

Carl Kirstein: I think the puppy knows that I am not great terror to her unless she has actually done something wrong (and even then she knows I'll forgive quickly). Unknown dogs usually have different reactions varying from fleeing to whimpering leaving little puddle beneath them. Luckily none has dared challenged me yet (except that one rotweiler years ago when I was hardly tall enough to look over its shoulder).
