WOTM: I Believe In Dog (And Real Relationships)
Christians are always talking about having a relationship with Jesus and God. But those relationships don't look anything like the real relationships we have here with each other. Those relationships with Jesus and God don't even stack up to my relationship with my doggie soulmate, Cookie. Nor, do God and Jesus treat Christians the way decent, loving people treat each other in real relationships.
This is a bit of an ode to my sweet girl who turns 16 in just four days. I appreciate your indulgence. I really do think the video makes a point.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Enjoy! B ♥️

Mark Twain: "Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."
God is away right now but he left us his love letter, the Bible. In it he says, when he returns he will gouge our eyes out, pull our fingernails, and slowly burn us to death, forever, if we didn’t love him upon his return. On what planet could those terms of a relationship result in feelings of love?
I know some preachers claim that animals do not have souls and don't go to heaven. That should instantly disqualify them from having any followers whatsoever.
Amen!!!
You've invoked a tear with this one, Brian. I completely concur: doggies are an infinitely better species than our own. I am already aching with you on the not-too-distant day when you lose Cookie. There is nothing more painful in life, I swear! My little girl, Moxie, sends her very best wishes, tail wags, and lickies to Cookie! https://www.casteyanqui.com/ev/i5_roadtrip_ca01/03_lg.jpg
Awwww. Thanks so much. It will indeed be devastating for me. She really is my favorite person, and my bestest little buddy.
Very nice. And the point was clear.
Yes, and what kind of god would punish innocent children for the sins of their parents? Certainly no god that I would worship would allow children to be born only to die of thirst, starvation, disease, or injury. The innocent would not suffer in a just world.
Cookie may be using smell to find you. Dogs are the best!
Yeah, last night she was sleeping, and I had a bit of food that I know she likes, so I blew it in her direction. Ten seconds later, she was up and looking for the source. That's so impressive!!!
