Dogology

I confess, I’m extremely jealous of my dog.  My dog has a natural predisposition to love unconditionally and live shamelessly.   She has no point of view when it comes to when and where she will be on any given day as we set her agenda and drag her around everywhere.  I've never heard her complain or come up with an excuse why she just doesn't want to get up or go for a walk.  She simply is.  She was born in a big scary world, but knows nothing of daily newsworthy world events, and never will.  She’s not Republican or democrat, neither liberal nor conservative.  She loves gay people, straight people and all those in between. She has no financial concerns or relational woes.  She was born in Nebraska yet doesn't know the difference from here to there.  My dog has no spiritual agenda or belief system other than to simply be.  She has a deep devotion to me and all those who are close to me.  Her biggest ambition is simply to have fun, whether you’re in the mood or not.  She is a lot of what I have always wanted to be.  If she could speak my language, her mantra would be “love and enjoy being loved.”  And people have the gull to tell me she’s the one without a soul?  Our pets may have the purest doctrine of all and understanding of their place in this world.  Squirrel!!
