GUY’S MIGHTY ADVENTURES


One day in Heaven, God was worried. It came to his attention that a family that lived high in the Blue Ridge Mountains were doing poorly and needed Devine intervention. His problem was that he was in a quandary as to how to approach the issue.

Pacing back and forth, turning idea after idea over in His mind, He heard a sound that rattled his teeth every time he heard it!

“Ach, its Guy, what is the matter now? He never seems to be satisfied or happy and this is Heaven! Being here should suffice!”

Inwardly groaning God turned around slowly and presented Guy with his most Fatherly expression.

“Good day, Guy, and how are you this fine day?”

“Oh fine, Lord, but I must admit because I can not tell a lie being in Heaven after all, and to You Lord, ummm….”

“Guy, why don’t you just come out with what’s on your mind. After all you have been here long enough to know I don’t bite!”

“ummm….yes Lord, you see it’s like this…I am bored! Everything is so perfect here there is nothing to fix, to paint, to weed…”

“Yes, yes I get the idea Guy. Let me think on this for a bit and I will see what I can come up with.”

“Oh, oh thank you Lord! That would be marvellous.”

The joy that spread Guy’s face as he ran to a cloud a little distance away could have lit up three city blocks.

Minutes later God called out to Guy.

“Guy, how would you like to go on a mission for me back on earth?”

Smiles wreathed the angels face as he wondered what great adventure God had in store for him.

“Yes! Yes, Lord!”

“This is what I would like you to do. I have a family that are doing poorly lately and slowly they are becoming depressed. Now with Christmas just around the corner we can not have that now can we? So I am sending you back to earth to bring my message of joy to this family.”

“Great Lord but there is just one itty bitty problem. I have no human body anymore.”

“Oh that’s already been taken care of. I have chosen this lovely dog that you can take ownership temporarily while you do Our work.”

“A dog! Did you say DOG! Woof, woof dog, Lord?”

“Why yes Guy. You know I love all my creatures equally and this one has a very special place in my heart. If you don’t want this mission I can easily find another Angel.”

“No Lord! I’ll do it!”

Next thing Guy knew he had a shiny fur coat and was loping up the mountain side. He was so grateful for all the sounds and smells he missed he forgot he was a dog.

Suddenly up the path a little boy spotted him and came charging at him. Cowering in fright Guy hunched down and laid his paws over his eyes.

Hey Ssmitty did I say I'd make a real angel out of your dog?

I haven't chimed in in a while.. but I am loving these stories! I really like this one because like all pet lovers we can just substitute a name. I love your other story guy, Julie's and the truth or dare one. You are all awesome writers!

Hey Loriefish, just to let you know her dog is really named GUY. Not my idea!

I know... I read the other post.. but just didn't chime in. Wish I had! You are great.

So are you...you're one of us right!

Hey Ssmitty what do you think of your angel, after all I made it up for you!

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back. The electric went off around 2:30 CST, so by the time it was back on, I was way behind. Still not sure what happened, someone may have slid off the road and hit a pole or something.

You are doing wonderful with Guy's story, I like your ideas very much, and "Thank You" . He really is just as active and loving as you have described. I knew the description fit him before I realized it was an angel and not a dog in the beginning.
He has days when he gets me back for getting on to him about something. He goes over and turns the TV off, and before you say " Can't be", he changes the temp on the air conditioner (window unit) too. He can also unlock storm doors, and let the little female off the chain, if he can reach it. He steals a piece of leftover fried chicken out of the refrigerator if you leave it on the lower shelves too. This is all with no training. Imagine what he could do if he would have been trained to be a helper dog.

My goodness Ssmitty, that's quite the pooch you have there! Totally awesome but a bit of a pest too I would imagine.

I wrote this bit to give you an idea that I could write a story but am unsure whether I should continue it.

Continue if you want to, the rest are enjoying it very much and I think you are doing great at my "Guy's" personality. A bit of a pest, absolutely. You have to hid everything you do to keep him from seeing it or he tries to do it himself. I have to take him everywhere with me on trips, for no one will board him due to his escape tactics. They don't want the risk and I can't blame them.
My computer sets at the end of the bed and he lays on the bed and watchs me while I'm on the computer all the time. When he thinks it's time for me to settle down so he can lay down, he walks over and moves the mouse with his nose to get the computer to come on ( standby mode). I'm telling you, I've had a lot of dogs in my life, and this little "Guy" is just too smart. A person is supposed to be smarter than the animal they are training, but I'm not sure that I'm as smart as he is let alone smarter.

Hi Chimenesryan,

That is so sweet that you read this excerpt to your son!I was't going to continue it because it was only to prove I could write about the subject. Now I have changed my mind. I will write it especially for you and your son. Can you tell me what your son's name is so I can incorporate it in the story and if you'd like your first name.

You made my day the both of you.

I like this also. Please don't stop. I would hate to have to try to make up my own ending. That in and of itself could be quite disastrous. We have such a great Pond here. So much talent. Such warmth and compassion. If only it could be like this everywhere in the world. (((((HUGGS))))) to You.

I agree with you. It's one of my most favorite places!

Keep it coming!!!! I love it. My dogs say " Bark... We love the story!! Bark!!

Ok, OK! Who am I to disappoint all my canine fans! (Never thought I would put those words together in a sentence!)

Lee

I think we have a bunch of chicken fish in this pond, don't you, Chimey?
