I believe they do. I believe every living thing has a soul. I spoke of the River of Blood that flows from this place, this Vortex, in my last podcast. It's bad. We have a graveyard here. It's full of dead dogs. Not just creepy, but also not necessary.
I added AJ's corpse to the landfill here yesterday. Originally the landlady was just going to let the vet dispose of his body. I told her that was unacceptable. They had killed him and dumped his body into a huge freezer out back of the veterinary clinic. This freezer is full of dead, frozen dogs. She grudgingly agreed to retrieve AJ's body for a proper burial. I went with her to get him. He was at the bottom and they had to remove several other bodies to reach him. He was frozen solid, inside a black plastic garbage bag.
We got him home and I began to dig a grave for him. The ground is so dry and hard packed here that it took most of the day. I had to bring a 5 gallon bucket full of water and dump it into the hole, let it soak for awhile and then dig a little further. I repeated this process about 10 times (50+ gallons of water). Finally in the early afternoon the grave was deep enough to place AJ into it.
I said goodbye to my friend and began filling the grave in with the dirt I had just removed. Originally I had told the landlady that I expected her to be present and watch as I placed him into his grave and covered him. She avoided answering me and naturally did not come out when I asked her to.
She brought him into the world, she ordered his death and then was unwilling to look at the result of her actions. None of this sits well with me. As for AJ, I did all that I could do for him. I believe, as I stated, that dogs do in fact have a soul. I believe AJ's soul is now at rest.
And now I watch and wait for the next victim to fall before her God like dementia..Labels: Doberman Pinscher, Dogs, Theology, Trailer Life |
