I have to admit, this got all over me.

A Dog's Letter From Heaven

 

[Backlighting]

I've had several dogs over the years.
And I must say...they're better than most people.

My dogs have been better than most people.

I think the dog wrote it.

Danged allergies.

I know. Not sure which hit me harder, the story or the photograph. Pretty strong impact from both.

If anyone's interested, there's a bit more detail and a better photograph here.

God. I'm drawn to these threads like a moth to a flame. I read them. And the screen gets blurry. Everytime.

And it's said we're a bunch of grumpy old men. Hah.

You don't have to be a grumpy old man to be drawn to dog threads (although i'm one) The best dog thing i've seen was a Twilight Zone episode ...

Let's don't forget cats. For about the last 5 years we've had a big orange tabby tomcat who I swear is almost human and is my constant companion. See my avatar. I think he can read my mind and I know he understands English. I've never had a cat like that. And all the dogs are afraid of him.

I think when we get to heaven we are going to find a big dog sitting next to the throne.

As for cats, I thought they all understand English, it's just that most of them don't care what you have to say.

Nothing wrong with tearing up a little at storys like this one.

The best country song line ever, "She never cried when Old Yeller died, and I ain't gonna cry when she's gone."

My dad had an article from a wood working magazine he subscribed to. The guy had a block of wood, he decided to carve a dog out of it. While ruffing it out on the band saw, he hit some metal, and leather, so the piece was pretty much ruined by something that was inside the tree as it grew. The thing is that he started to carve around the artifact, and it was an old dog collar nailed to the tree that the tree grew around.

Put 2 and 2 together, why would you nail a collar to a tree if you didn't bury the dog at the base of the tree?

I like cats and had cats when I was a kid. My dad didn't particularly care for them...he just tolerated them. Mom was okay with them. One's name was Fuzz...he would come into my room each morning and wake me up in time for school. Another's name was Smoky, a huge grey cat with white paws. One Halloween, some kids from another neighborhood got him and stabbed him with a watermelon knife. He survived that. Then months later, he was attacked by dogs and had his testicles bitten off. He survived that, too. I gave him to a nice neighbor lady, he became a total inside-only cat and lived to the ripe old age of eighteen. I visited him often. He had a big scar on his abdomen from the knife attack and didn't like being touched there.

I read a clever line about cats one time..."If cats could talk, they wouldn't."

Kudos to Zina Owens, window clerk at the Colley Ave Post Office in Norfolk who responded to the little boys letter.
