He's happy day after day after day. Why?

I sometimes can’t help but think about my loveable dog Rickles.  He’s just a typical dog.  Rickles lives a dog’s life.  He eats and sleeps and eats again.  His only other interest is Rickles regularly goes outside and poops.  Yes, he’s a dog.

What I really don’t understand is what he eats and eats and eats again.  Twice a day he eats dry dog food.  The same dry dog food everyday.  All week.  Every month.  And, for the past ten years Rickles has willingly and excitedly eaten the same dry dog food every morning and afternoon.  What I have to marvel about is, he is jumpy and excited day after day each time I ask him “do you want food?”  He almost jumps out of his doggie skin.  His tail bangs endlessly on the clothe drier near his food and dog dish.  Bang-bang-bang.  The same animated excitement over and over again without fail.  One happy dog.  I don’t get it.

How can I transfer his happy DNA to some of my friends?  Some of my friends are people in need of shock therapy.  Dull and emotionless.  Well, just maybe they too need to eat dry dog food.  Yes, that’s it!  Feed them dog food.  Hmm.  Where’s my dog dish?  Maybe I could use some happiness as well.
