The Ridiculous in the Sublime

Or the Sacred in the ordinary. Your choice. Either saying depicts life to the "t".

Take Hank for example. He has amazing talents. And yet, he is a social moron in the bedroom. Recently, in his vertical jump at the front door frenzy, he actually rang the door bell several times. I have to laugh at the four dogs at the door, barking because Mr. Hanky rang the bell. Helloooo.....you all are at the door...you guys are barking at yourselves.

Then too, Hank managed to hit the snooze button on the alarm clock while wagging his tail in bed yesterday. He is smarter than your average bear, and as silly as a pointer can be. I know that was unintentional, because his goal in life is to see that I never get to sleep in late.

Then too, for a dog with cancer he is everything one could hope for. Reno says he'll live until he's 11 or 12. I pray he's right.

Whoever let him go, or lost him, or just plain abandoned him? You are an idiot. You are missing out on something very special. You're missing out on Life with Hank.....ridiculous....sublime....hilarious.....ordinary....and very much sacred.
