Happiness and pleasure were diverse things for Stoics. Happiness means general life satisfaction, no matter how many issues it throws at you. Pleasure, as well as pain, is temporary, and these things were equal and nonessential for stoics. However, they concentrated their forces on demolishing the passions - distress, fear, lust and delight. The sought "apatheia" - a state of being free from these passions, and reinforced the constructive ones that were important for the virtue (such as compassion, empathy, love and goodwill).

My dog has a brother and they always fight against each other, would it be a good idea for them to share a cake?

No, definitely not. Separate the cake in two and feed the dogs in separate rooms.

Is it correct to type the date within a letter as "May 21st, 2019"? I always thought the "st" should not be included.

Whether to write 21st or simply 21 is a matter of personal style and preference, and either is correct.

This two piece split bamboo fly rod has part of a label still in it. I can see the last three letters of a word gue, and another word of "harbor". There is a fish with green on the gill plate and red behind the figure and the handle is wood and the guides and ferrule are brass. What is this?

That's a saltwater boat rod, not a fly rod. It was produced by Montague and sold as the Stone Harbor model.
