Shazam!! Shazam!! Shazam!! Good Morning Everyone, just thought I would throw something different as my first line this morning. Todays story is just for the dog lovers out there, UNLESS!! You care to substitute the word cat for dog, or if you don't own either but do own a horse you could try it, or even a (((Moosie))) if you don't own a horse. But be very very careful, as I have it on very very good authority, that Moosie's can be very very very rambunctious when brought inside and given food and drink, especially drink, so I have given you these warnings concerning Meese's, verily. BTW, while I make light, in my preview, the prayer is very touching and should apply to all animals.........Enjoy todays story!!! Todays Story: Hi Bill, Found this on the EXDS board and liked it even though I am dog-less. A DOG'S PRAYER by Beth Norman Harris. Treat me kindly, 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 though 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 world's sweetest music as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ears. When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now 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 had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my Master and I am your devoted worshiper. 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 stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger. And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest - and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands. Regards, Jeff O Have a great day all !!! wb
