Question by Lolz: How did you deal with the death of your first dog?
So today the dog I first owned (A White German Shepherd) and got from a shelter died, unfortunately he was very old when I did get him. Now I am left with an Alaskan Malamute. I am kinda sad as a grown man because the dog was my first dog and his short time with us he meant so much to us.

Well, now I am planning on deciding on my next breed, maybe Husky or a young German Shepherd.

So what is your story?

Question by preciousbunny11: How does Robert Burns poem “To a Mouse on Turning her up in Her Nest w.the Plough” relate with Of Mice & Men?
The poem’s line : “The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain” was the famous line from which John Steinbeck got the inspiration to title his book “Of Mice And Men”.

Best answer:

Answer by Rose
Have you read Of Mice and Men?

The best-laid plans of mice and men often go wrong…

“Burns’s poem tells of the regret the narrator feels for having destroyed the home of a mouse while plowing his field; it suggests that no plan is fool-proof and no one can be completely prepared for the future.”

If you’ve read the book, this makes complete sense. If you haven’t, click on the link; Wikipedia makes it simple.
