God was sitting around one day, thinking about all the struggles that humans go through, and thought, I would really like to give them a little piece of myself. A piece of myself that accepts and loves them for exactly who they are, and whatever they look like, and however they behave. I want them to experience a little bit of the unconditional love I have for them. So he pinched off a little of his essence and sent us a gift, and we all call that essence – A Dog!
The devil didn't want to be upstaged, so he did the same thing – meow
I hope nobody gets mad about the cat part, I was joking.
I just was sitting around thinking how thankful I am for Joey, and how much God must really love us to have allowed humans to have these wonderful little creatures that we can "create" in so many wonderful ways. When I think of a dog like Joey living in a puppy mill, it just makes me crazy, and I think so many of us could do something about the puppy mill situation, but we just don't want to be inconvenienced.
Pet purchasers find it more convenient to go to a pet store or website to purchase a dog, even though they realize, that the parents of these dogs are living in horrendous conditions. Or they want to buy a dog from what's looks like a home breeder, who seems really nice, but who really is a broker, and purchased the dog from puppy mill for resale, but the buyer doesn't want to be bothered to check out her story by calling her vet, that's too inconvenient.
Good breeders often refuse to support great legislation that would seriously cut down on the puppy mill problem, but they are afraid it might cause them some personal inconvenience. Many others simply don't want to support legislation in their state, because a phone call or letter is inconvenient. Some members don't take the time to educate others, on the puppy mill problem, because that too is inconvenient.
Next time you look at your dog, think of him in a cage, living in a puppy mill, and perhaps you will be more willing to be a little inconvenienced in order to save that little bit of God's essence, and unconditional love, in the embodiment of a doG.
