A Dog's Prayer

2010-06-16T18:21:00.000-07:00

No matter what your situation, a dog will always be there for you. In bad times, he/she can be a source of comfort. In good times, they will enjoy them along with you! I've had several dogs though out my life and felt a mutual love for all of them. There is nothing is this world like the unconditional love that a dog has for his/her master.

I had a dog, Woofie, a Keeshound, (pictured bottom), who was my companion for almost 16 years! When it came time to say goodbye to him for the last time, (it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life!). A friend gave me this prayer for dogs during my time of grief, and it really touched my heart. Keep in mind that the word dog is 'god' spelled backwards.

A Dog's Prayer:

My beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for I should lick your hand between the blows. Your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the worlds sweetest

music. As you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.When it is cold and wet, please do take me inside, for I am

a domesticated animal. No longer used to bitter elements,

and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at

your feet beside the hearth. Though you had no home, I

should prefer to follow you through ice and snow, rather

than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in the

land. Keep my pan filled with fresh water for, although I

should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when

I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well,

to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your

side, and stay ready willing and able to protect you with

my life, should your life be in danger.

And master, when I am very old, and deprived of my

health, and sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather,

take my trusting life gently, and I shall leave you knowing

with the last breath I draw, my fate was always safest in

your hands. Amen

My current best buddy, Smokey, (pictured top), is an Australian Shepherd mix. He is a constant source of entertainment and companionship. We have a special bond that only a man and his dog can share.

Here's to all the dogs our there;.... may you be lucky enough to have a master who loves you as much as you love them.

The soundtrack of my life

From Abbey Road Studios, London in 1965 this was the first instrumental song the Beatles ever recorded. It didn't make it onto an album until 1996 on Anthology 2. It is one of only 4 songs ever to give credit to all four of the young lads from Liverpool. I like jamming along with this one!

Until next time, enjoy!

Here she is!

It is because of a certain woman that I am doing my first blog. She is the most intense writer I know of. She warms my heart or makes me laugh with something she says or writes everyday!

She has written so many wonderful pieces of poetry and shared many histories of her life.

Her love of all living things and music, combine to make the most moving and creative posts I have ever read!

Here is part of a poem she wrote to me last year. Translated from Portuguese:

Eternity.....

A feeling unites us is almost supernatural

We are present in different hemispheres

We can not keep confidential memory

Our minds are linked under the auspices

Thank you, beloved for caring about me

Hug me every morning with all tenderness

Meeting you at every night, the sweet shelter

We are one with all who cherish bravely!
