Hello,....my name is BH. I take care of the person called Preacher,(though he thinks it's the other way round') & his little wife Agee! Sometimes he lets me jump here on the keyboard & do what I want,...& don't even fuss at me. Course i DO let him hold me without takin' his fingers off,...he does give rite good ear scratchins'!!! We seem to make a pretty fair team. Anyways...i been thinkin, squirrels do that ya know, & was askin my Creator why you humans are so mixed up. He told me it was cause of something called ...sin...& that this wound up affectin the whole world. He said that me & the other critters are safe from it's direct results, but even though I'm only 2 yrs old I've seen what he means by how bad it is for y'all. My friend, Preacher,...he tries to tell folks, but they just don't seem to pay any attention. I know he just wants to give up sometimes, & I've heard him say that folks ought to just be more like me. Well I'm here to tell ya he's mostly right...if'n I understand my Creator. I mean I know I wouldn't be alive today if not for Him...You call Him Jesus,...well...thats my Creator, and even my Lord! But He's something for you He isn't for me...I think He said Saviour? He told me that I didn't need the salvation He offers to all of you...cause I can't sin, not in my nature. I asked Him what that meant & He said that the simplest way to put it,..and simple ways help me alot,..,is that our souls are different, we desire different things. I don't quite know why, I mean, all I desire is a meal once inawhile...a cozy little nest to nap in, some fresh water, & to stay far away from nasties that could hurt me. My Lord provides all that,...just for little ole me like I was the only critter on earth. The only sad time I can remember was when I got hurt, but He took care of me then too....really really good!! I just don't see what the problem is...look how good He is too all of us..you too...He give you something to eat, your nest is way bigger than mine...ya get plenty of water...& at least you're big enough that most nasties leave ya alone anyways. Plus if ya want you can be in Heaven, thats something else that is different for us. Oh, I'll be in Heaven...& will even get to climb a real tree...all by my self...but He made it for You. He loves me awhole lot...but still I know He loves you folks a lot more...& thats just OK with me!! See, I didn't used to think that us critters knew how to love, but He told me we're better at loving than a lot of you folks, just cause we know how to be a friend. He told me too that cause we don't know how to lie, (thats not telling the truth He said) that that alone makes us a grand choice for a friend! Oh, whaats that?? OK....Preacher just came in & said he needs to go to his nest...nap time. That means I get to go curl up in my little pile of ,....I think he calls it cotton?...anyway mabey he'll let me back on again, I like dancin on this here keyboard thing. G'nite All & May my Lord Bless Ya Really Really Good!

God bless you;
Well written, well done!!!!
A marvelous vehicle to impart wisdom and insight, and though some might find the narrator a bit "squirrly", there is nothing "nutty" about his teaching.
(Just a sidenote. BH needs to give that preacher feller and extra hug, cause it takes an extraordinary individual to tame a squirrel)
Will sure look forward to more of BH on the keyboard.

BH,
Loved your talk and gettin' to know you and your Preacher friend. It explained alot to me. My name is Pete and I am Duck's dog...Dan is here too and he is my brother. We are Golden Retreivers. Duck is out cuttin' grass and left her computer runnin'.
Duck got her screen name from a dog she had, very special friend. He also was a Golden Retriever. She had him some years ago and they went through alot together. She tells us about her Duck stories and laughs and laughs. He was 15 when he died 6 years ago. That is when Dan and me came to live with her. Duck was with our person one very special night that they spent with the Lord. Maybe she will tell you about that one day. But you could read about it over at Red's MB...we talk with his dog often...nice fella...friendly bark.
When Duck died, just before he left...she told him to wait for her. She knows he is...and when she gets to Heaven Duck will be there waiting just like she told him...and that is how she got her screen name...you see Duck is a dearly loved and very missed four legged friend...just like us...
Walk the keyboard when you can BH...we will walk back at cha when we can...
Licks and tail wags... Your friends, Pete and Dan

Hi, My name is Bandit. I am proud and tail-waggin happy to say, I am barking friends with Pete and Dan. Met em a few years back, and we had some meaty conversations. I came into the rednek and heavenbound's lives, via allergies of their daughter to cats. Yeah for cats!! While I'm not particularly fond of cats, I must say one did save me from the pound. I turned on the puppy brown-eyed look when first brought to the apt. and it has served me well over 9 years when in a fix. I'm hear to tell you that it taint true that ya can't teach an old dog new tricks! For I, the smart shepard/chow that I am got tired of waitin on my owners, and taught myself a few. Listne up Pete and Dan; there's a certain bark, you know the one, that lets em know you've been outdoors too long, and wanna come in. There's also one to let them know your tired of your dry food and ready for canned and or a treaty. Took me all of 2 weeks to train these humans to these barks, but was wel worth the time. Uh oh, heavenbound is coming back in, so I best give her back the laptop. Gotta learn a new bark for time on this! Hey you 2, keep in touch more often will ya. Sure have missed sharin stories with ya! Your barkin buddie, Bandit(aka baby boy)

Hello Gang, I was really afraid BH was in trouble yesterday....when I got home she had one of her back feet tangled really bad in a string. I mean TIGHT. I finally got it off her but the pads on the bottom of her foot were blood red, normally pink. I watched her last nite & she wouldn't try to use that foot at all, just drag it behind her. I was more afraid of the foot just being dead from lack of blood than anything. I know enough to know that would mean amputation...which I couldn't get done here...her being wildlife & all. Vets won't look at her. This morning I had her in here with me fore' I went to work, her foot was swollen pretty bad, but she didn't act like she was in pain. She would climb around on me & try to use her foot to balance, though I could tell with trouble. This evening when I got in the swelling had gone down a lot, not much difference from her other foot...& she wanted to play!! Thats always a good sign with her!! Agee cleaned her cage while I had her out, & now she's busy building a new nest, so Thank My Lord!!! I guess some folks might think it silly,.....don't care...ya better belive I was prayin for her last nite. Like I sais before...the Lord put us together, I'm just glad it wasn't time to part company. Look foward to more Tails...er...tales!!!

Hey BH, gotta stick to the keyboard when master is away. Glad to here your doing fine. Your cousin says to tell ya hi. Yep, he's been hold-up in my back yard for neigh on a year now. Greets me every morn, swishing his tail at me and chattering away. I do believe he's got a bit of rednek in him; caught him with one of my bones the other day; thought I had hide it good too. Whew, got to start my day off guarding the Mrs. already. Had to let a wandering beagle know who's yard he was in. Then had to let her know that dad's ride was here. Best get some shut-eye in now; never know what later may bring. Mom said they're gonna be cuttin the branches up later, so I'll have all of my backyard back for runnin. Plus I'll no doubt have to bark out directions to them. Whew, a doggies work is never done! Gotta get this posted before the Mrs. comes in. Ya'll take care, and BH, stay away from the string. Your barkin buddy, Bandit

Mornin All...BH Here.... Preacher is holdi me so I can just use my front feet to type with. Whole lot slower...my legs are kinda short! I guess I'm doing better. Agee fixed me a clean cage...& they even put me a box in to climb on & build a better nest in. I was scared the other day being trapped by that string, but as usual Preacher came to the rescue. He's handy to have around. He said in a couple of days he'll turn me back loose on here...still kinda hard to use my back foot. I just wanted to get on here & say Thank You to all for the kind words. I guess mabey ALL dogs ain't so bad. Agee has one named Sam, we don't bother each other when she come in...but she's SOOOO BIG!. Well Preacher said he has to go to work so I'll be back soon I hope....May the Lord continue His Blessings!!

Afternoon Gang!! BH here!! He TURNED me LOOSE!!!! Boy it feels good to run around. He even put his BH Jacket thing on so I could climb on him. Don't know why he keeps that thing on his head though...He calls it a cap. But it is fun to climb on & when he's standing up I'm really really high up in the air!!!! Agee...my other person...said sumpin bout givin me a bath when she gets home...& they think I don't listen!! I like'em though, specially' when she gives me one. She just talks to me...Preacher does too, but not the same way, she makes me feel like I'm a baby all over again!! Though I like Preacher to dry me off....we can fight while he does it!! I like fightin with him. He's like an old oak tree...tuff!! Agees more like the leafy limbs...fun to nibble on, but have to go back to the trunk for good support! Well, he just discovered I chewed a big hunk out of his belt...he outta pay more attention!! Gotta go look pitiful....be back later !!!!!

Good Evenin Gang! Woahhhh what a day! Finally got the whole backyard back to run in!! Too bad it is so hot; they wouldn't allow me to stay out too long. Heard rednek mention givin me a buzz cut. Sure hope not cause my girlfriend, the sheltie next door would probably laugh at me!! The misses said ifin I keep shedding at this rate, she's gonna tie a vacumn to my tail. They went to do a few errands tonight and when they got in, I made sure to let them know I deserved a can of my favorite food for guarding my eyelids so well. I do believe they are finally catching on to my commands, only took a few barks this time! Well, gotta go guard my eyelids for the night. Think I'll think up a bark pattern for computer time. Your barkin buddy, bandit

Well my my.... hello BH, Bandit, Pete and Dan. My name is Bear and I dont' get to sneak to the keyboard too often but I'm mighty glad to meet all of you. And Bandit I gotta tell you the buzz cut isn't so bad. Being part St. Bernard in FL my people buzz me at least once a year and it does help with the heat. Who cares what the neighbors say, like my people I'm not big on what the world thinks is the the "cool" or right thing. Maybe the next time my people go up to visit my charges in VA (it is my job to protect the little ones you know) we can all get together for a good bone chew and run!! Since I lost my sister last year I've been lonely and so it's great to meet you all.
Bear

Hello DanDan, It ain't the buzz thing that'll get ya. Preacher splained it to me. It's tha big long tail that comes down from it. He calls it lectricity. Says it can hurt us really really bad. But I still have to try to bite one once in awhile. I mean its just layin there beggin fer it!! It was comin a big storm here last nite. They ARE scary!!! Gets me confused too, it'l be dark, then get lite outside like the sun come on...then back dark. Preacher says not to be scared but Agee is so why can't I be?? Gonna have to ask my Creator bout these storms. Preacher wants to go lay back down fore he goes to work so I'll be back when he lets me out. Remember Jesus is our Lord & be nice!!

Wow! Good to see someone else is up as early as they get me up here!! Mornin BH!! Welcome and hi Bear!! Once had me a gal friend named bear; she was a bossy one. Sure put me in line right fast when we moved in here. She was already 14 when we moved here, and we got to be friends for 2 yrs before she died. I actually missed being bossed by her too. Now they have to yappy terriers who don't care to be friends with anyone in the neighborhood; oh well, their loss. Hey Bear, come over anytime and share a bone; got plenty we can dig up!! BH's cousin found a few but I changed location, so we should still have a steady supply. Hey ole Pete we have a lot in common. I don't like loud noisy things either!! I say it's just that we have highly sensative ears, which makes us good huntin beasts! LOL We are braver than we let on, just don't want other to know or they'd be expecting too much of us; know what I mean? Got me a rabbit friend now! He greets me, standing in the driveway, other side of fence of course. Must know I like rabbit stew? Anyways we run up and down the driveway for a while and then he heads for the apple tree next door. BH's cousin brought me one of the apples the other day. Didn't think I'd like it, but it was pretty tasty. Thanks swishy(BH's cousins name)! Hope the neighbor doesn't think I swiped this from her tree!! Heard mom say she is gonna brush me down today!! Love my brushins!! I best let her know I need to be let out for round 2! Geezz gotta guide her every step. Ya'll have a playful day! Stay away from all wild critters! Your barkin buddy, bandit

Hello I am also a gal dog. Getting to be an old gal now since 13 snuck up on me but I still get around pretty good. BH I do believe I know some of your kinfolk. My folks have a mini picnic table on our back fence. They load it up with corn and peanuts and it seems like they come for miles, but they don't seem to want to sit down and share together. More of a grab a nut and run ;D Now when they first set that up, I will admit, I chased a few but we've all come to a good understanding. They stick to the fence and the trees and I lay in the grass and watch. Bandit, Pete, and Dan anytime ya'll want to come visit you are more than welcome. We got a nice little lake for swimming right down the road. But here in Fl you always gotta watch out for them gators!! My folks always take a good look before they let me go in. I'm pretty good about listenin' if they say no Well, dinners done and it's too hot for my walk yet so I think it's time for a nap. I'll check in with ya'll later. Woofs and Wags, Bear
