God is a dog, it just depends how you look at it. Like, in this case, I’m looking at it backwards.

Relax. I’m kidding. God isn’t a dog. But… what if God is a dog? (God will always be referred to as God in this piece but call God whatever you want to call God I really honestly couldn’t care less. Also it’s definitely couldn’t care less not “could care less”. Stop saying you could care less when you mean you couldn’t care less. If you could care less then why don’t you just care less? What a silly thing to say.)

Anyway, what if God isn’t your actual dog, but what if God exists in the practice of taking care of that dog? In the discipline of walking the dog every day, making sure it’s fed, bathing it, playing with it, giving it love and good scratches. I’m losing it a little. I’m just saying what if God is just the demonstration of that love, and the commitment to doing your best to sustain life. Which in this case, is a dog.

I don’t know. These are going to be quick this week. I have a lot to do to make sure music gets out and we here at Beautiful Idiots LLC position ourselves for the most fruitful journey possible and that is taking just about all my time this week. My point today is to stop calling your dogs your children. They’re dogs. And they might even be God. But they’re not your kids and you’re not their parents. It’s weird.
