Deep in Thought

It was a sad week for our family as we have lost a senior member of our family.  Wednesday morning, snowball moved on to a better place.

Back when I was working on my Doctorate degreee at Pup University, I took a class in theology.  Of course, questions came up about our afterlife and when and if we would see our master’s again.

Our professor was a wise Border Collie who gave us a story that helps us have something to look forward to one day.

The following is from Earl Hamner:

Goodbye Old Friend

An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice – grassy, woody areas, just what a dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying ‘no trespassing’ so they walked on.

They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. “Welcome to Heaven” he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him.

The gatekeeper stopped him. “Dogs aren’t allowed, I’m sorry but he can’t come with you.” “What kind of Heaven won’t allow dogs? If He can’t come in, then I will stay out with him. He’s been my faithful companion all his life, I can’t desert him now.”
“Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil’s on this road and he’ll try to sweet talk you into his area, he’ll promise you anything, but, the dog can’t go there either. If you won’t leave the dog, you’ll spend Eternity on this road” So the old man and
dog went on.

They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. “Scuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?” “Of course, there’s some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable ” “You’re sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren’t allowed anywhere.” “Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?”

No sir, that’s why I didn’t go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn’t come in. We’ll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won’t come in if my buddy here can’t come too, and that’s final. ”

The man smiled a big smile and said “Welcome to Heaven.” “You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren’t?” “That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but, then it’s too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there.

GOD wouldn’t allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man’s companions in life, why would he separate them in death?”

–Goodbye old friend, see you again someday–  Nemo

Well, the Oasis of the Seas is finally built and on its way to the Florida, by way of England.  It is a huge ship, with a capacity of 6,200 passengers.  It was an indoor park, a aqua stadium and a ton of other wonderful stuff.

You know what it doesn’t have?  A room for me, that’s what it doesn’t have!  I am now calling for a boycott of all cruise ships until I can book my own cabin for a cruise.

So I figured you guy’s had heard about the Pilot’s who missed the airport a few days ago.  Were they napping?  Nope.  Little to much to drink?  Nope.  Apparently they were using there personal laptops in the cockpit!  I know how they feel.  Gotta get in that Solitaire anytime you can!

Deep in Thought

Well this should come as no suprise.  Once again, I lost out on the Nobel Peace Prize.  Apparently Obama won it.  I can’t understand how I didn’t win.  I negotiated a truce between the Cat and Mice Unions’ earlier in the year.  I advocated for a wonderful human health care bill (see earlier post).  I provide humans with wonderful educational material on the mistreatment of dogs.  Unbelievable.

I will have to hold out that I will win for my work in  physic’s for napping dogs.

Deep in Thought

Sorry for not posting in a while.  I had to go underground for a while after the scandal.

Urgent post for you here.  Human’s have took there sick abuse of dogs to a new level.  I am now officially calling for a boycott of NBC.  Attached to this post, you will find the madness that NBC has deemed to air.  It is a segment called “Puppies dressed as cats”.  Need i say more?  Check it out for yourself.

Here’s the link:  Puppies dressed as cats

I feel that I have to address something.  Apparently, someone has released some scandalous photo’s of me.

I’m not pointing my paw at anyone (**Cough Marco Rubio Cough Cough***).

Well, here is the picture.

Unfortunate Night at the Republican National Convention

It appears that this photo has ruined my chances of becoming a Senator.  I will have to start to consider my revenge.

I have given up on my dream of being a judge on American Idol for a more worthy cause.

I’m sure many of you have heard the Senator Martinez is stepping down.  I have officially thrown myself into the contention to be appointed by Govenor Crist.

I can make a difference.

I am running on the following Principles:

1)  Health care for anyone who will take the Doggie Thermometer.

2)  One free Denta stick to everyone in my district on the first Friday of the month.

3)  A new Economic Stimulus Package for dog food makers to make tastier treats.

Remember to contact the govenor directly and ask for Nemo to be appointed!

Well, I heard that Paula Abdul has retired from American Idol after she was unable to settle on a new contract.  I have found the perfect solution.

I will dish out the judgement

You know that I will dish out the opinions!  Can’t wait to hear “Who Let the Dog’s Out!”

Dory takes over.

Well, as I was reading the USA today website and I noticed that Michael Vick has been put on the road to reinstatement by the NFL.  He still has some hoops to jump through, but it looks like he will get his return.

I have given it a lot of thought, and I can only see one job that I could give my stamp of approval too.

Strap him to this.

If he wants to play so bad, you can strap him to this and let the linemen push him across the field all day.

If you think this is a bit harsh, you really don’t understand dog fighting.  If you have the stomach for it, visit US Animal Protection and look at poor gypsy.

20 months in jail is a long time.  Some may say too long, some not enough.  That is for you to decide.  I know  will root against any team that picks him up.

I usually like to report on the lighter side of life, but given the currency of the issue, I had to say my part.

Deep in Thought

I’ve been reading a lot about this debate for universal health care for humans.  One of the big concerns is that if people can get into the doctor for free, then people would go to the doctor for every little thing, and then waiting time to see a doctor would sky rocket.  I can see where this logic is coming from, but I also see a solution.

As many of you may know, dogs do not enjoy going to the vet’s office.  There is a very specific reason for it.  If this reason was implemented on the human level, then I believe that long wait times would be eliminated.  So here is the answer:

The dog thermometer.  For some reason, when humans go to the doctor, the thermometer goes in the mouth or in the ear.  Not to bad of a deal.  But with a dog, it is a different story.  Do you know where they put that thing!?!  Let’s just say it’s a couple of hours before I’m ready to park it on the ground again.

Just thinking of the vet

Just the thought of the doggy thermometer is so unpleasant, that we will do anything to avoid the vet.  I would think human’s would be the same way.  So, for every visit to the doctor, they get the temperature taken just like a dog. This one step alone could save billions of dollars in medical fees.  I might could even get a thermometer consultants job, with a nice salary and a good retirement plan, courtesy of the government.

Just give it some thought.  It could single-handedly save the health care system.
