Pets – animals in general, I think – are such sermons in faith. They trust us to always do the right thing for them, even when it doesn’t look that way. (A trip to the vet, or instance.) If only people were so true.
If you are waiting in line for St. Peter to judge whether or not you get in based on your own merit, good luck. The best thing you can do is to throw yourself on the mercy of the only righteous judge before it gets to that point.
On my morning run there was a dog that would come out and bark at me every time I passed. Very annoying. One day I discovered a tennis ball at the side of the road, picked it up and bounced it once. The dog stopped barking and went down on its front paws. Threw the ball and the dog retrieved it. After several iterations, I continued on my run. The next day the dog came out again but did not bark. I flippantly said, “Find the ball!” and dog bolted into the yard, picked up a tennis ball somewhere in the grass, and brought it back to me. My morning run was made much more fulfilling after that.
What about the pit bull that attacked my cat and left her bleeding to death right in our front yard? (Yes, I know the killer canine’s owners are at fault for letting the dog out without a leash, but what goes through the head of a creature that attacks and kills for no good reason? At least coyotes eat their kills.)
If the pre-approved gate accepts cats, I know many people who would simply step out of the other line. But, (two comments for the price of one, today!), if it were a doggy heaven, they would let people in while cats would only allow servants!
A very popular concept by those who created their own parallel version of their religion. They should write their own Bible. I’d like to read it. Only it isn’t codified.
Read this somewhere on the internet. I don’t recall the author’s name, but it is very true. “Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.” Since I love them both, I will say the same applies to cats.
Interesting accidental comment on the border. Do rabbits and birds, mice and fleas, get screened before they cross into the US from Mexico? I shudder to think that Trump cannot put Mexico in position to use these potential laborers who already speak Spanish to make a battery factory in MXO for us to use to sell product to China! I thought he was a salesman? Don’t tell me he’s just an opportunist. He’s even failing at that in this regard.

“Al Dogs Go to Heaven” exists as a title for a reason. Come to think of it, this could be a late Burt Reynolds tribute.

When you have an animal companion, you save money, because:
1) You don’t have to buy them a car
2) You don’t have to send them to college
3) You don’t have to give them a wedding
4) And you don’t have to bail them out of jail !
