Three Dogs

Three dogs sat on the sidewalk outside the butcher shop

with drooling mouths and pleading eyes, but no one slowed or stopped.

Wanting for them butchered goods, they lounged there in the street.

They got their share of hostile stares, but not a shread of meat.

"I can't handle this," the town dog said, "I'm gonna slip inside,

and steal a steak and eat it 'til my hunger's satisfied."

The ranch dog said, "You go ahead and burgle, swipe or steal,

but rustlin' goes again' my Code, not even for a meal.

My credit's good down at the bank. I got some equity.

I'll get a loan. I'll go in hock to pay the butcher's fee."

The town dog and the ranch dog said, "what you gonna do?"

to the third one of their trio, a farm dog named Old Blue

Now Blue ain't gonna steal, and he ain't about to borrow

'cause either way, you just might pay the Piper come tomorrow.

If yer lookin' fer a handout, here's a trick that works plumb fine;

Be patient, look downhearted, but most important: whine.

Did Christ Have A Dog?

I wonder if Christ had a dog, all curly and wooly like mine

with two silken ears and a nose round and wet, with two eyes that glisten and shine?

I'm sure if He had, the dog would have known right from the start He was God,

and needed no proof that He was divine, but just worshipped the ground that He trod.

I'm afraid that he didn't, because I have read, how He prayed in the Garden, alone,

for all His friends and disciples had fled, even Peter, the one called a *stone*.

And oh, I'm sure that friendly old dog, with a heart so tender and warm,

would never have let Him suffer alone, but creeping right under His arm

would have licked those dear fingers in agony clasped, and counting all favors but lost,

when they led Him away would have trotted along, and died at the foot of the Cross......

A Dog For Jesus

I wish someone had given Jesus a dog as loyal and loving as mine

to sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes and adore Him for being divine.

As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog would have followed Him all through the day

while He preached to the crowds and made the sick well, and knelt in the garden to pray.

It is sad to remember that Christ went away to face death alone and apart,

with no tender dog following close behind to comfort its Master's Heart.

And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn how happy He would have been

as His dog kissed His hands and barked its delight for The One who died for all men.

Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine; the old pal so dear to me

and I smile through my tears on this first day alone, knowing they're in eternity.

Day after day, the whole day through, wherever my road inclined,

four feet said, "I am coming with you!" and trotted along behind.

I Adopted Your Pet Today


I adopted your pet today...

the one you left at the pound;

the one you had for ten years

and no longer wanted around.


I adopted your pet today...

Did you know that he's lost weight?

Did you know he's scared and depressed

and seems to have lost all faith?


I adopted your pet today...

He had fleas and a little cold;

Guess you don't care what shape he's in

— You abandoned him I am told.


I adopted your pet today...

Were you having a baby or moving away?

Did you suddenly develop allergies,

or was there NO reason he couldn't stay?


I adopted your pet today...

He doesn't play or even eat much;

I guess he's very sad inside and

it'll take time for him to trust.


I adopted your pet today...

and here he is going to stay;

He's found his FOREVER home

and a warm bed in which to lay.


I adopted your pet today...

and shall give him all that he will need

— patience, love, and security,

so he can forget your selfish deed.
