My momma says that everybody and their dog blogs. I wasn't writing a single solitary thing, but I'm correcting that right now. When momma got me she named me The Pink Party Poodle for Peace, now I guess I'm The Pink Party Poodle for Peace Pontificating. My pontification of the day is to tell you that the purpose of life is to have fun, hee, hee, and chase lizards. I love to chase lizards--never catch them though, they taste like rotten toes.

This is Heaven/You Have it on Earth Too

 

 Dear Folks,

I love you guys.

I know it is hard on earth, but, you guys, remember, you are there for a reason.

Doggies come to beam light. They come to shepherd and take care of too. 

People forget that's their reason as well.

I will keep reminding you.

Light means to shine light into darkness, to bring goodness.

That's my job.

Dogs like jobs. 

Momma said my reason in life was to love and be loved.

That's still true.  

And I'm still me.

I can run faster now though. And I feel the wind blowing through my curls. I'm still the color of an apricot. I play with my friends. I watch over you. It doesn't hurt to be brushed--you know poodles have trouble with tangles, but they have a special brush here, no pull, no tangle, and some days I want to look pretty.

Yesterday I wanted to play in  mud --with Bear. Bear is a Newfoundland, a water puppy, only he's big. On earth I didn't want to get wet. Now, I know that sometimes Momma wanted me to look pretty too. 

And you know we dogs like to roll in stuff that smells bad to humans. I don't know why they scrunch up their noses, and go "Yunk!" We are connoisseurs of smells. 

That's how we can track. and find water and food. Connoisseurs, that's a big word.

Zeus taught me that word. He's a hunk--a Standard Poodle. And from Paris, can you believe it?!

He makes my heart go pitter patter.

Want a lesson on getting happy?

Chase lizards--don't catch them though.

Aloka, Walking for Peace. Good Dog


Aloka, the Peace Dog beginning his walk on a misty morning.

Good dog.

From the streets of India to the streets of America, he walks for peace. 

He trots to the monks stride.

Aloka means enlightened. The monks named him. Momma named me Peaches, The Pink Party Poodle for Peace. I'm watching from heaven. Heaven is all over,  you just can't see it, but we're here loving you. Sometimes you feel it. Sometimes you don't, but we are here all the time.

Dog is God spelled backward. Now, some smart human must have done that. 

Aloka is walking from Texas to Washing DC. 2,300 miles. Sometimes he rides in the car, but he wants to walk. He walked 100 miles with the monks in India. Now he is on another walk.

He was hit by a car once, earlier in his life, so the monks make sure he gets rest for his  body. He spirit is strong--reaches to the moon and beyond. 

I love him.

Watch him. Follow in his footprints. Mine are there, can you see them? Bear's are there, Jewell, Licorice, Gabe--the dog that slept beside Momma's bed. I used him for a foot stool so I could hop up on the bed. He was big. I was little. Dogs come is all sizes, all with big hearts, especially when they have their packs, and are loved by a human.

Dogs like The Velveteen Rabbit in the book. The Velveteen Rabbit  was made real by a little boy's love.  Gabriel was real. He was our guardian angel. I can't keep up with him now with all his guarding. Jewell, Bear, and Licorice are love bunnies beaming love to you guys. Do you feel it?

Watch Aloka. Follow the monks, feel and beam peace, compassion and kindness--the reason they are walking. 

A beacon shining in the darkness.
