" 911 "

In my lifetime I have owned several dogs such as an Airedale, Chinese Pug,
a Golden Retriever, a German Shepherd, a Cocker Spaniel, an English Bulldog,
a Bassett, a Labrador, a Dachshund, a Collie, a Schnauzer and three of a
mixed breed. Each one of the dogs have been lovable and loyal to me. I have
loved them all in spite of their different dispositions.

Beaudreaux was SPECIAL to me and we had him for about 18 years. He was
a Chow & Airedale mix and very easy to train. He looked forward to my daily
coffee run to Hardees in my ‘50 Studebaker and would actually blow the car
horn if he felt that I stayed too long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On 11/22/2008
I posted the following in memory of ole Beaudreaux


'BEAUDREAUX' {02/12/1987 - 05/27/2005}

He was an Apostolc Church Dog - When asked " Beaudreaux, Would you
rather be Trinity or Dead" ? He Would Promptly Fall Over, Play Dead and
not get up until You Said "In Jesus Name" . You could ask him to Run For
Jesus and he would run in a circle, wide open, until you said AMEN -

He was the first to actually get baptized in the new baptistery. We had
just installed it and filled it with water someone let him in the Sanctuary.
He came running thru the Sanctuary wide open as usual and thru the open
door leading to te Baptistery, up the steps Straight Into The Baptistery
Before Anyone Could Catch Him. - LOL, I Pulled Him Out Of The Water
In Jesus Name.

Ole Beaudreaux departed from this life on the evening of my Father-in-law's
Funeral. Events During and After His Passing Brought Smiles And LaughterTo
Me and My Wife That Night in the time of her Bereavement .

I Miss Ole BEAUDREAUX Especially While
Bending Over Retrieving the Newspaper {That was his job}
Looking For My Shoes {he brought them to me}
Trying to get my wife's attention {he would tug the hem of her skirt}
Opening The Door Of The Car {he was always the first one in}

Thanks For Thinking Of Beaudreaux Today
Because HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST DOGS EVER !

Our beloved Beaudreaux was just over the age of 18 when he left us for
Doggie Heaven in May of '05 and we have now decided it was time for us
to get another dog to take his place -

BUT
It Had slipped my mind
Just How Lively A Puppy Could Be -

CALL 9 11 ---> OH YES ! REALLY, “

“ JEDIDIAH The VIII “ Hath Arrived !
{he was born on 09/11/2008 and he is an Elder in training !

It happened this past Sunday afternoon{12/28/08} when Terri delivered
Jedidiah The VIII { Elder in training } to us and our life, as we were used
to, has now been completely turned ‘Topsy Turvy’ !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


12/31/2008

At 5:00 this morning he discovered how to get out of his bed crate
and get on top of it, then jump on to the night stand and from there
it was an easy leap thus landing on my head while I was asleep -
After completely waking me, he then turned his attentions on Lavelle
by attacking her hair as if it was alive and a large prey - It was hard
to gently disengage his teeth from her hair and not laugh
but "I Knew Better" {Some Things Are Best Just Being Left Alone}

Oh Yes, " JEDIDIAH The VIII " Is A Full Blooded 'WELSH TERRIER' -
{ The offspring of "TUFFY TOO" & "MATILDA" } Was Born "9 11 2008"

HAVE A BLESSED AND HAPPY NEW YEAR {we hope to survive}

The Hollands
Joe & Lavelle

Your new dog is gorgeous!

So is he Beaudeaux's replacement?

By the sounds of it Jedi, has a mighty big shoes to fill, I don't think I have met a person, let alone a dog do all the things that first dog did!

I must say Bishop I always like reading your stuff! You always tell a good story!:thumbsup

Congratulations on the new dog. Can't wait to hear what Jedidiah is capable of once you start him in training.

Hey Bishop,

Glad to see you posting ... we've missed you ... I enjoy your humor, candor and liveliness.

Sorry about the loss of your 3 steppin' dog ... I have no doubt he was one of the best dogs ever!!!

If there is a Doggy Heaven I'm sure he's in the Oneness Apostolic wing ... parallel to the Baptist and AOG corridors.

Also, my sentiments concerning the loss of your FIL.

It was not until Christmas Eve that I've had a puppy in my own life ... and already gettin' attached to her. (Don't tell Lady Cass, though).

I gave Princess (aka Pepperoni) to Cass for Christmas. It was part of my negotiating Cass' release to "poopy" Houston, Texas from sunny Irvine, California.

I can't imagine what it's like to have a dog for almost 18 years and then losing it. I'm sure there is even a time of real heart-felt grief.

The Welsh Terrier is cute!!! Much happiness and patience.

Maybe your young Padawan might find our little mini Dachshund a looker ...????

Every Jedi needs a Princess.

But would he date a Charismatic?

May the Force (and a Pooper Scooper) be with us all.

Happy New Year.

OH WELL <
It Really Happened This Morning -

My Wife Was Taking Jedidiah The VIII For His 8:00 AM Walk -
As They Got Back To The Front Door
He Spoted The Morning Paper and Brought It In To Me !
I Praised Him And Said 'Good Boy" -

I Then Sat Down In My La Z Boy To Read It
And I Would Place Each Newspaper Section In The Magazine Rack
As I Finished Reading It And Then Go To The Next Section
And All Seemed To Go Well -
:coffee2

This Afternoon Lavelle Wanted To Read That Paper And Couldn't
Find It -
I Told Her That I Put It In The Magazine Rack As Usual But It Was
Not There -
We Searched The Entire House And Still
Could Not Find A Single Page Of That Paper -

Just A Few Minutes Ago JEDIDIAH The Viii Came Walking
By This Computer With A Section Of Newspaper In His Mouth -
I Took It From Him And Said "Good Boy" -
He Then Ran To The Bedroom And Went Under The Bed To Retrieve
Another Section
Then Back And Fourth
Until We Finally Have All Of It -

Momma's Happy Now -
:girlpopcorn


OH NOooooooooo
Here He Comes Dragging One Of My Hunting Boots-

Gotta Go -

Bishop, can you come to my house and train my son? Your dog does better in the 10 minutes you've had him than my 15 year old does in all the years we've had him!
