Beautiful dog. Gentle nature. Stayed at my house last night. Sister wants me to keep it.
Did you hear me say that I hate cats?
Every 15 minutes last night a cat tapped me somewhere on my person and said, "Mom, wake up. There's a dog in the other room."
I answered, "Yes, dear. Let sleeping dogs lie. She'll be gone in a day or two."
After 15 minutes of sleep another tap came, "Mom. Wake up. There is STILL a dog asleep in the other room."
The two cats took turns watching the dog sleep and tapping me for my attention.
You know the story in the Bible of the 10 virgins who kept watch and only five were ready? I hope I get some sleep before it becomes my hour to keep watch...
Matthew 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'
" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
