Dogs and Their Masters


So the family in front of us; we live in a neighborhood where there are street lots and back lots, I live in a back lot, the family in front of us lives on a street lot. They have a dog. We don't see our neighbors much because there's woods between us. Depending on the season, we can either see their yard or not. So now that the leaves are off the trees I can see their back yard through the woods. They have this dog named Blue; I now very original. This dog is a bulldog just like in the photo. He's large and got the infamous snout like a Bull dog. Anyway, Blue's favorite thing is to go in the woods and find the biggest stick he can and bring it to his owner, Ernie. Ernie then throws it back to him and Blue fetches the stick, and the game happens over and over again. Blue also has this inflated ball that he loves. Ernie will throw the ball so Blue can go fetch that too; poor Ernie, I think he's tired of picking up sticks.

Today, Ernie was mowing the lawn with his earphones on. I like this because sometimes when I'm in my garden working, I can hear Ernie singing some oldies. He can't hold a tune, but he sings his heart out. It's usually because he can't hear what he's singing with his hearing protection on.

Anyway, Ernie was mowing the lawn, getting into his music, and Blue was following every step that Ernie took with the ball in his mouth prancing and looking as though he knows that Ernie is going to stop soon and throw that ball so he can retrieve it. I wish I got a movie it. What a great YouTube video it would make.

Dogs and their masters. What a world we live in!

Until next time: may your pet be loyal and bring a smile to your face. If you don't have a pet, I hope you get to smile at someone else's pet, cause they sure are peculiar!

The minister at my church today read a little thing he found about a dog's life. He said that at 7am, it's time to go for a walk - oh that's the best part of my day! 7:30am, time for breakfast - oh that's the best part of my day. 8am throw the ball in the yard and go fetch it, oh that's the best part of my day, etc., etc. They love anything we do with them. It was part of a great sermon and this was a great post!
