God and Dog

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.

Every writer has the same ingredients to write anything from fiction and  non-fiction, to poetry,songs, great recipes and  newspaper opinion columns.

Some writers can write best selling classics, just as some chefs can create 5 star  gourmet dishes.

Just as the constitution states that all men are equal, all writers are too equal, given the 26 letters they have to work with.Once you have use of the ingredients of the 26 letters you need one other key element,the thing we are all born equal with, to have the usage of 24 hours each day to use as we plan.

I hope you enjoy my story created with most of the 26 letters of the alphabet;
Once upon a time lived a grey haired and gotee bearded man with his best friend a dog on the cosmic Garden island of Kauai.
The man realized his only true friend was his dog, however his dog had many friends. People always said hello to the dog and not to the man. People would buy presents and give treats to the dog, and never to the man. The Dog was not only the best friend to the man but made people feel good, even made strangers laugh and smile. This dog was actually a rescue dog that somebody wanted to discard...

This  dog is also very smart, when asked what is on top of the house? She always replies, "roof, roof." When asked the opposite of smooth, she says, "rough, rough."
This dog just happens to be  my dog. She  is so smart I named her  after the 44th president of the United states, "Obama." What's so ironic  is that I have friends that can't even call my dog by her name, since they dislike President Obama with a passion. Obama therefore  has taken on the moniker of 'Bommers' or 'Boms.'

When I am out in public and call my dog's name or say, "Obama get over here,"  people look at me with strange eyes, like I am crazy.They think I am calling the president, they don't realize my dog's name is Obama.

Upon realizing it, they usually smile and say something to the nature of, "we can tell our friends on the mainland we met 'Obama' on Kauai in person, or should we say in dog?"

To anyone battling depression or just in need of a true friend, may I suggest getting your own 'Obama,' your own rescue dog or even a cat.  I know the fifty dollars I spent to  acquire a best friend is the best $50.00 I ever spent. The dog also came with a bag of dog food, a training video, all shots, a leash, discount coupons and a heart of gold. 


I would like to quote part of  the song "God and Dog" by Wendy Francisco;"I look up and I see God, I look down and see my dog."Simple spelling G O D, same word backwards, D O G." "And in my human frailty...I can't match their love for me."   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H17edn_RZoY

The expression goes, "Dogs are man's best friend."Please visit your local  ASPCA  or humane society and  adopt a dog today, or better yet have the dog  rescue you as was my good fortune.  I like to tell people, Obama rescued me, that is "Obama Da Dog! 

P.S. YouTube of a photographer wanting closeups of a baby seal, check out what happens, very heartwarming.
