Arroooooooo! Calling all DOT's

Prayer

Every evening as I'm laying here in bed
This tiny little prayer keeps running through my head
God bless my mom and dad and bless my little pup.
And look out for my brother when things aren't looking up
And God, there's one more thing I wish that you could do
Hope you don't mind me asking but please bless my computer too?
Now I know that's not normal to bless a mother board
But just listen a second while I explain to you 'My Lord'

You see, that little metal box holds more to me than odds & ends
Inside those small compartments rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS'
Some it's true I've never seen and most I've never met
We've never exchanged hugs or shared a meal as yet....
I know for sure they like me by the kindness that they give.
And this little scrap of metal is how I travel to where they live.

By faith is how I know them much the same as you
I share in what life brings them from that our friendship grew
"PLEASE" Take an extra minute from your duties up above
To bless this scrap of metal that's filled with so much love!

To all our doggy friends out there, we are trying to keep this blog up and running. Life is complicated and busy for all of us, so if you also would like to get this blog to a weekly basis again, please email me to thegardener63@aol.com and let me know which Thursday of the month you would like to have. I will email you back with instructions and sure would appreciate the help!

Happy DOT's,

Happy Dog 2
I’m a happy dog in a car
Hope we’re not going far
I walk up and down the back seat
At each corner I’m rocked off my feet
I’m a happy dog in a car

I’m a happy dog in a car
Zooming down miles of tar
Sniffing around everywhere
I know where we are by scents in the air
I’m a happy dog in a car

I’m a happy dog in a car
I’m feeling well above par
On the window I’m sniffing near
My nose leaves a slimy wet smear
I’m a happy dog in a car

I’m a happy dog in a car
We’re on our way, hurrah
Happy thoughts run through my mind
As I stare and wag at the car behind
I’m a happy dog in a car

I’m a happy dog in a car
And going slightly gaga
Too excited to lay down and nap
I’ll look out the window and let my ears flap
I’m a happy dog in a car

Flying Lemming

Wow, where did everyone go?

Sorry for the long hiatus! Life happens. And around here lots of life has been happening! HoneyDew, Sampson and I have missed you all and hope to catch up on all of your happenings real soon. We will be posting some spotlights on new pups who have found their forever homes, memorable milestones, and some rememberances soon.

I leave you with a cute pic from one of my favorite sites http://dogs.icanhascheezburger.com/

My Dog by Robert William Service

'Twas in a pub just off the Strand
When I was in my cups,

There passed a bloke with in his hand

Two tiny puling pups;

And one was on me with a bound,

Seeking to lick my face,

And so I bought him for a pound

And took him to my place.

Three acres by the shore I own,

A hut, a pint wood;

And there for fifteen years alone

He shared my solitude.

It was his own, his only world,

And when with hunting spent,

Each night beside my bed he curled,

And slept in sheer content.

My dog is dead. Though lone I be

I'll never have another;

For with his master-worship he

Was closer than a brother.

My foot is frail and I am old,

Yet how my heart can pity

Pups straining on a short leash-hold

And pent up in the city.

From all thought of self above,

And purged of sex emotion,

I know no form of living love

So deep as dogs devotion.

I have no hope at all of heaven,

I've lived in sin and strife;

But thank God! I at least have given

One dog a happy life.

Happy Dog's On Thursday!
