A Child & Her Dog

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see.
It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:



Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog.
I really miss her.

Love, Meredith



We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.
A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.



Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies..' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:




Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
 Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.


Love 
God

Curtain Poles

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. 


On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.



On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water. 

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain poles. 

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. 

Then slowly, the house began to smell. 

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out. 

Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned.

 Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked. 

People stopped coming over to visit.
 Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. 

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.



A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house.

 Word got out and eventually even the local estate agents refused to return their calls. 

Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. 




The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.

 He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. 

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.

 She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. 


A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home .........

 and to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain poles!!!!!!




I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

Speeding

A mature (over 40) lady gets pulled over for speeding ...

Lady: Is there a problem, Officer?

Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.

Lady: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license please?

Lady: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: Don't have one?

Lady: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.

Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.

Lady: I can't do that.

Officer: Why not?

Lady: I stole this car.

Officer: Stole it?

Lady: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Lady: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see

The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Lady: Is there a problem sir?

Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Lady: Murdered the owner?

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?

Lady: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.

The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Lady: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!

I'm Gonna Be A Bear

In this life I'm a woman.
In my next life I'd like to come back as a bear.

When you're a bear, you hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months.
I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid.
I could deal with that too.

When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partly grown, cute cuddly cubs.
I could definitely deal with that.

If you're a mama bear everyone knows you mean business.
You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too.
I could deal with that.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling.
He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

Yep, gonna be a bear!
