Through my fault, through my, through my most grievous fault...

You know why I like dogs?

Because you tell them to do one thing and they go ahead and do the other thing!

Not all the time. I mean you cannot keep a pet who is told to do one thing and then goes ahead and does the other thing all the time!

This does not mean that I have never become angry at any one of my several dogs over the last half century.

I mean sometimes you tell your dog to do one thing and then he goes ahead and does the other thing!

For instance, I would tell Scout once we crossed the great divide that I would take off the leash but she must follow the proper path and we would go home as friends instead of master and slave.

And Scout would sigh and stick her tongue out and pant and everything seemed fine. Just fine!

And within a hundred feet or so Scout would pick up some scent in a neighbor's yard and she was GONE!

I mean Scout had no sense of propriety once she got a scent!

I should certainly have been more prescient concerning the possibilities of her scent; BUT DAMN!

I sat on a rock along the designated path but after about five full minutes of yelling, Scout was nowhere to be found.

I continued to sit upon that rock, I began weeping. Weeping in great dismay.

All of a sudden whilst pursing something in that neighbor's garden (in the middle of winter for chrissakes!) Scout looked up AND I caught her face and she ran to me. She acted like she was surprised that she was calling for me or that she had caused me any discontent!

We ran home for the last length and I was at once surprised and disappointed.

Life is so very strange at times.

But if Scout had acceded to my demands on that path every frickin time I demanded accession, I would have been offally disappointed in Scout!

Now take my son!

I f my son had followed half of my admonitions whilst out of my sight; well he would never be a contributing member of our society!

At least that is my conclusion as of NOW!

There is a nice man who walks his dogs (one at a time) around the pond. Sometimes the dog is on a leash and sometimes not—in violation of THE LAW! Hahhahhahah

He is a dog trainer.

He claims to be a dog-rescue trainer.

For Heavens sake never approach one of his 'pets' because his pet will threaten to kill you.

Hahahahahah

Beautiful dogs.

Another fellow walks his Labrador Retriever and if you stop to pet the little bastard, he will be all over you with love and he will seek treats or just a kind hand. Haahaha

Of course that fellow must inform you of the wonders of this dog; how his pet greets folks at the front door of the project; how his pet will congratulate all who enter....

My son and I recently met up with him and had to stand in the cold for some time in order to respectfully listen to his message.

His message being: THIS IS THE GREATEST LABRADOR RETRIEVER YOU WILL EVER MEET.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

What do we wish from our pets anyway?

I viewed at least five different renditions of Scrooge over the last couple of weeks.

If you recall the Ghost of Christmas Past; she reminds Scrooge of a father who would admit ANY negligence as far as his son and his son's behavior and he would never condone any negligence; never mind the context.

To paraphrase, Dad would instruct Scrooge:

Do this and not the other thing.

And now, in the era of Quantum Mechanics;

all we have is the other thing.

We can predict nothing with certainty.

Oh hell enough of this!

Now if you believe the likes of Karl Rover, I mean he is upset when his dogs are told to do one thing and then they go ahead and do the other thing.

THIS IS NOT THE MANNER IN WHICH THINGS SHOULD EVOLVE!

"We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"

OKIE DOKIE THEN!

Now Huckleberry's flock has strayed or other folks' flocks have strayed.

And Huckleberry is pissed!

(How does one fix this mess, anyway?)

Speaking on Fox News on Monday, Huckabee clarified that he didn't believe an increased religious presence at Sandy Hook could actually have directly prevented that particular shooting from taking place.

Huckabee went on to praise President Barack Obama for quoting the Bible in his Sunday speech at a memorial service  for the 26 victims of the attack -- 20 of whom were children. He said it was proof that the nation accepts the use of scripture only after a tragedy and maintained that people should be empowered to express their religious beliefs more frequently...

Mea culpa, mea culpa, kind of a mea culpa.

Haahahahahah

Okay, how might I fix this? Asks Huckleberry.

And then he minimizes!

Then there is the NRA!

How must we act in order to not permit another Sandy School Massacre?

Well we must send black shirts into the school arena.

The NRA's response appears to be:

Tu culpa, tu maxima culpa.

Oh we have never made a mistake! Children die and they die every goddamn day; it is not our fault.

THE FAULT LIES IN OUR STARS.

Oh we are not responsible for MSM and dirty computer games and unfair laws barring free and perfect gun owners....

ALL THE FAULT LIES UPON YOU!

AND NOT US!

Some of the NRA followers (read dogs) really do not follow all of this.

I have no idea where I am going with this.

Except no one has the ANSWER.

And if you believe otherwise you are a fool or a no-good dog.

I wish I had some idea what I was getting at!

Except we must take responsibility at times for our own sins in the face of massacres!

The end
