I’ve said this before.  And I’ll say it again.  There are blogs that I skim …

… and then there are blogs that I hang on each and every world.
And today’s guest poster, Kelly from View Along the Way, is one of those blogs that keeps me hanging …
… and smiling.  Wide …
… as in a big ol’ sh#@%&*t-eating Cheshire cat grin wide.
View Along the Way

Take it away Kelly …

Sometimes I catch my dog Marley staring off into the distance, pensive. Deep thoughts weighing heavily on her mind.

 
She’s so wise.

 
 
I think she ponders her future, and future of all mankind. If she could talk, she would have much to say about the state of the global economy, original sin, the environment and the falling value of the dollar.

Her outside perspective on the human condition, I expect, would be so enlightening as to erase nearly all controversy from even the most controversial of subjects.

“Wow,” we would all think, astonished. “Why has no one yet framed these issues in such a modern, intellectual way? Surely there is no longer a need for war.”

But alas: simple biology prevents her from being able to broadcast her observations.

Sometimes she sighs heavily and collapses, distressed, into a heap on the floor.

That’s the weight of her convictions.

 
 
It’s a heavy burden, you must realize, to know that you carry the solution for man’s greatest difficulties, but cannot share them. Just look at her:

The wheels are turning, can’t you see? Look how she philosophizes. She understands The Trinity.

She is so deep, that dog.

Such a tragedy that though she wishes she could communicate to us the keys to world peace and the end of world hunger, her life is spent napping, pooping and fetching.

A grievous squandering of rare brilliance.

I hope you’ll join me over at View Along the Way for more deep thoughts on the meaning of life (and/or useless silliness related to home projects). You can subscribe to the blog here, or follow me on facebook or twitter.

Thanks for the chance to crash your blog, Linda! Have a glorious vacation!

It’s me again.  Linda me. And I have to admit that I’m comforted knowing that Marley is all about the good.  Mostly because my kids  accuse our beagle Ernie of giving them the “evil eye”  …
So while the gentle and pensive Marley carries around the weight of knowing she has the knowledge to solve all the world’s problems and yet cannot share … my will-bite-the-kids-for-food-beagle-Ernie is plotting world domination …
… but is frustrated that his lack of opposable thumbs is foiling his evil plan.

Let’s keep in touch …

  4. I would LOVE to know what my cats are thinking at any given point in time. Somehow I doubt they are as philosophical as Marley. They probably spend hours contemplating the meaning of the screen that exists solely to keep them from mutilating a bird outside the window.

  6. OK, I’m a bit worried that Kelly and I seem to both be on the ‘deep thought-dog-post’ train together. (That will make sense when my day is up). Makes me think we are channeling Ernie while you are gone. Where is he? What have you done with him?

  7. I so needed this laugh out loud post today!!!!! My husband and I realize that our dog Keiki cannot speak, so we substitute a voice for her, and have conversations with each other of the things she would say if she could. Yes, we are very strange dog loving people here. But after all, Keiki is my 4th child and forever baby. So of course, her voice is that of a small child, with a wicked sense of humor. Glad to know there are others out there who have odd relationships with their dogs.

  12. Lol! Kelly, I love your unique take on things! You never fail to make me laugh! The World According to Marley… now that would be interesting! It really wouldn’t surprise me if dogs knew the secret meaning of life as they are probably the keenest observers on the planet, privy to our deepest, darkest secrets!
