July 7.
Global Forgiveness Day. Wow. That’s a biggie. IMAGINE if people would REALLY forgive people
when they do something wrong. And
countries would forgive other countries.
This would sure be a very different world…
And let’s think about ALL the things that I
would need forgiveness for….There can’t be THAT many…hmmm…..chasing
squirrels. And leaping against the
front door when it is time to go for a walk.
And attacking Frodo when he comes through the door. Or down the stairs. And licking Paxton’s face. A lot.
And staring at the door where the dog food is kept. And running off in the woods. And stealing Frodo’s and Paxton’s toys. And getting on the bed – when I’m not
supposed to. And sneaking into the
DFZ. And scraping all the new finish off
the deck. In an effort to get at that
bird’s nest. And refusing to go out when
it rains. And squirming on the grooming
table. And staring at my human when she
is eating….
Yikes.
This list is getting long. But
WAIT a minute. All of this stuff is what
we dogs DO. And if I didn’t do these
things, wouldn’t life be pretty boring?
I can’t ask for forgiveness for being a dog! And a pretty clever one at that! So forget all that stuff. I guess I’ll be the one forgiving today. How about I forgive my human for not
completely filling my food bowl to the very top. There.
Forgiveness accomplished. For
today.
