“Come Monday…” is a
weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television
shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be
generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come
Monday.” This is subject to change,
however. In fact, I would be most
derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel
universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
Our
beloved Obie was called home yesterday afternoon to chase squirrels in our
Heavenly Father’s Kingdom of Heaven while waiting for our turn to join him
there. No, I cannot say, “Thus saith the
Lord,” regarding the certainty of our beloved pets spending all of eternity
with us in His Kingdom, but it sure makes a lot of sense to me. After all, if a lion can lay down with a lamb,
how could there not be a place for such a sweet puppy like Obie?
In
our home, a dog is only referred to as being a dog when they are in
trouble—regardless of how old they may be, and Obie was 14 when he passed quite
peacefully while lying in Arlynda’s lap.
Despite our great sorrow, it was actually a blessing. For he had become completely blind several
months ago, and for the last few days, he would throw up within a couple of
hours almost everything we tried to feed him.
I
am sorry. That is the best picture I
could find of Obie, and I have not tried to do much with Photoshop Elements 9
yet. That is him on the right, with
Trixe being on the left. No, my
mother-in-law does not have as much of a mustache as it would seem from that
photo.
Obie
was the first of our rescue puppies. Be
assured that they are the ones who have done the rescuing, and we were blessed
with Obie’s love for 10 years.
Alas,
squirrels were the bane of his existence in this world. Do you think our Heavenly Father just might allow
and enable him to actually catch one now?
