A Comparison
Rlo, being the good BFF he is, came over to fix my bike today. I left it out all winter and it needed a lot of tender loving care that only Rlo has the patience for.
Daisy was outside with us, and she started chasing her tail as she often does when she’s excited about something. Rlo takes one look at her and asks, “Sometime you’re going to have to explain the appeal of being a dog owner. I don’t get it.” Now let me just say that Rlo doesn’t hate all dogs, he just hates Daisy. He’s obviously a horrible person.
I thought about it for a second and came up with the perfect comparison. “Daisy for me is like Jesus for you. You don’t understand why I care so much about Daisy, and I sure as hell don’t understand why you care so much about Jesus.”
Rlo shook his head in agreement, and said, “Yeah, at times both keep us from doing things we really want to do. We always have to stop and think about the consequences.”
“Yup,” I say. “Daisy and Jesus are practically the same thing.”
I would take Daisy over jesus anyday.
Who knew?
Amen!
Is Daisy off leash? My kids would run away the minute something caught their attention!
I guess everybody is Jesus to somebody…
One man’s God is another man’s dog. Fairy nuff.
I left my bike out in the carport all winter… What would we have to bribe Rlo with to get him to do mine?
Excellent point. Daisy rocks!
Umm, I’m pretty sure my cat was Egyptian in a previous life because she believes she is a god. That’s kinda the same as Jesus, right?
Fuck yes, I LOVE MATH!!!
Im not going to tell the GOD/DOG Dyslexia joke. Just so you know. im not going to do it
=o)
You just made my MONday!
I’m having a hard time understanding today why Jesus liked wine; and wondering how he dealt with Monday mornings.
hjustin’s comment got me to thinking…
maybe Jesus liked wine cuz it helped Him deal with Monday mornings..
I’m so glad you got your bike fixed up - now go out and ride it!
Wow- I’m a new reader so I’m sure you keep him around for good reasons (bike maintenance is certainly a treat) but I have to say I’m judging Rlo a bit.
How could anyone not have complete and total reverence for that li’l dog? Frankly, I think Jesus might be judging him too! Daisy is so cute I want to take a bite- I wouldn’t though.
