Animals and humanity

AnimalsI Thought That This Dog And Magpie Were Fighting, Little Did I Know!

I swear about a quarter of the videos on the Internet must be about unlikely friendships. I have seen everything from goats and rhinos, to cats and iguanas, to this video. This video shows the bond between a bird and a dog.

I think it’s safe to say that dogs can make friends of pretty much anyone, however magpies are not known for their friendliness. Magpies are known for chasing kids, and swooping at them on their way home from school. You have to say that magpies are one of the grumpy is birds and least likely to become friends with a dog.

When I first saw this video I thought that the dog might be being a bit too rough but if the magpie didn’t like it he could easily fly away at any time. This video features some very interesting footage, for instance the dog magpie playing catch together.

We don't know who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the letter department who understands Love...

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month.

The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.

She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to Heaven, God would recognize her.

I told her that I thought that we could, so she dictated these words:

Dear God,  
Will you please take care of my dog?  
Abbey died yesterday and is with you in heaven.  
I miss her very much.

I 'm happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her.
She likes to swim and play with balls.

I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog.

I really miss her.
             
Love
Meredith


We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey & Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven.

We put our return address on it.

Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.
That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.

A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet.
I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand.

Meredith opened it.  
Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.'

Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope.

On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:  


Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven.  Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart.

Abbey loved being your dog.

Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I'm sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for  helping you write it and sending it to me.  

What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find.  
I am wherever there is love.

Love,
God

So cut
