LEND ME A PUP

I will lend you for a while, a German Shepherd pup, God said, For you to love him while he lives, and mourn him when he's dead. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three, But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me. He'll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief, You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true, And from the folk that crowd's life's land, well I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to take my Shepherd back again. I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done," For all the joys this pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.

But should you call him back, much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand. If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve, In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve, When our faithful friend departs this world of strife, We'll have yet another German Shepherd and love him all his life.

Just a Dog

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand."
