Dave Sutton's Adventures

Hi, Dave here again – feeling kinda lonely and sad .I was just thinking about my old friend that past away almost 4 years ago. He was one of those friends that knew what to do when I was feeling blue.  W hen I would go and sit on the porch, he would turn his head around and just smile at me. He would get in my face to let me know “We will get through this trial Dave.”  The Lord is taking care of it. He would take his cold nose and put it under my hands and flop them in the air, telling me to pet him now. That dog I think taught me more how to be a Christian than my pastors ever did.  That dog kept his joy being happy all the time- through good and bad times. The Lord told me to call him Joy.  He was born in 1991 sometime in September.  His mother was a purebred Border Collie.  His dad was a traveling salesman with Labrador and Brittany Spaniel traits. Of course, his Dad’s mom was a purebred Samoyed.  This gave him the thick fur and friendly disposition. Joy looked like a little bear cub when he was smaller.  This dog had so much energy that I would have loved to have half of it.  He was always jumping off the 4-5 foot porch and immediately back up on it again. I had my buddy for about 16 years.  I had to put him to sleep finally and it was one of the saddest days of my life. He was a gift from GOD for me.  (Sorry – tears brake… I’m back. )  The LORD told me he will watch out over Joy for me till I get to heaven and we can be together again.      We’re going have some fun!  So, if I bump into you up there – sorry, just playing hard trying to make up for the time apart.  So take care of your buddy you don’t know when he will be heaven bound.  Dave….
