Christian Coming of Age Drama

Yes.

In consideration of becoming a vegetarian.

One should take serious note.

Serious notes.

And.

Then.

Annotate those notes.

Perhaps underline the important lines.

But in the end. The conclusion is the same.


The conclusion is the same.

YES. They do eat dogs in China.


My suggestion.

Imperative to vet the vet you plan on vetting your pet with.


It could get ugly.

Very, very ugly.


Sellouts usually are.


Ugly.


Our dogs.

Your dog.

My dog.

In some places, they do not even bother to season it.


Makes no matter which or what Asian influence, Korean. Taiwanese, South Korean, North Korean, the influencer that lies and lurks behind the drape, screen or thinly veiled veil.


It remains, at least here in America.

That a dog.

Is.

Man’s best friend.


See where I am going with this?


Even the fattiest of cats know this. And will abuse it to the high heavens.


Because beyond the high heavens, a cat usually is insecure, food, looks, or otherwise, that they can actually take on a man and man’s best friend. In, on or over under the high heavens.


Unless of course you have received the grace of God. No. not Buddha, or Allah, although I am sure they are great and honorable spirits to worship. If you have worshipped at the feet of the most honorable being than you should be good.



OMG.


You thought I meant God.

And I did.

In a backwards, forwards kind of way.


God is Dog spelled backwards.

Dog is God spelled backwards.


Disclaimer: Beagles are dogs.


Here. In these parts. Of the world.

Because to be arrogant enough to think I know about Allah or Buddha is just plain that.


Arrogant.

Last I learned.

Arrogance is not a part of religion.

Unless of course you are,

arrogant.


Here in these parts. Of the world. All globally international and all.

Dog is still man’s best friend.

They are not to be eaten

Like that.

I know what I know.

I would not eat a dog.

Would you?

Could you?

Case closed.


Making other persons hangry is just plain mean.

and it means:


Your anger is an anger not yet dealt with. An anger that you have not dealt with but desperately intend to spread the wealth with. Your anger.


Insidious really.

Yet. understandable.

But here.In these parts.

Dogs will bite your hand off to protect their “masters”.

They will gnaw and chew on you until you,

”Back off”

Step Back.

Get lost.

I do not know what goes on in your “neck of the woods.”

And I would not even guess.


Psychological warfare and all.

Has its detractions.

Its beautiful people.

Its good people.

Its bad people.

Its try hard people

Its try harder people.

Its I give up people

Just give me the goods kind of people.


Is now the moment to sell out.

On what you know.

Who you know.

What you know.

To get anywhere else but in the place that you are.


One need not travel from here to there to escape that which “bugs them. Yet. Most persons would not readily admit it. What you ask?


That they are really their own worst enemy.

Own worst enemy.

And the persons around them may simply be the the vehicles with which they get from here, or not there to there and not here..


A dog just laughs.

at this.

at our weakness.

Our lack of sticktoitivesness.


They just laugh.

At us.

And then come to sit next to us, walk with us, be with us through our weakness.


I ain’t gonna eat someone who does that with me.

Will you?

Do you?


Doesn’t really matter.

If you are a

dog lover.

Or. Not. Here. in these parts.


We may eat meat.

But not dog meat.


Before the bandwidth gets too “stretched” that is. Ask yourself. Are you the one that is really “hangry”. not gettin’ what you want.


Hangry. From just eating rice all the time does “suck.”


”Sorry”.


The black market is full of, well, black and red. Hopefully for you it does not go down in “lumps”. Chunky lumps, lumpy lumps, chewy gooey lumps. Selling out has a way of spoiling the moment. Your meaty moment.


Your moment of glory.

A case for your vegetarianism hop?

Wont suggest this either,

Because a dog may live only 10-15 years, but their value is way beyond all the chewy, grainy rice and tea in China.


Better get to work. It may have or used to work. For ya’ll. But. in spite of what may have been thought. for some of us, the pandemic of the pangolin actually made us


Smarter.

More Bold.

Like a delicious BBQ sauce.


We said. Uh. Uh. As in No more. And an underground of non dog eaters got to work. In preservation. All with the dogs steadfastly by our side— leading our way.

Asia is getting hangry and our dogs are not for sale.


A+ for the creative thinking though. Of which you, China is not really known for. (Creativity) A+. Though.


Desperately trying to get away from eating that rice.

Sorry.

Dogs are no longer for sale. Here.


We value their dogness.

To your spirit animal and your “buddahness.” follow on with your rice in your hands.

I actually like the guy. Your Buddha….think he has a lot to say. A lot of good things to say.

which again.

Is certain to be the leader of your people and a good leader of your people. Why is it you choose not to follow him?


Are you a “leader hopper”…..Just ask in’ Do you eat leaders like peanuts and popcorn? Prefer peanuts and popcorn to rice? Just ask in’.


I understand. Rice gets old, clumpy and ugly, chewy even. Get it while it’s hot, yeah I get it. Most importantly.


I get your motivations. And. I do not like them at all.

Your motivations. before I had to take them. Now. I do not.


If you do not like it here,

perhaps it is best for you to adjust your “intake”.

Your original, initial expectation intake may have caught SOME of us by surprise.


But. Not the ones who love with a deep and abiding love.


We hope you enjoyed the ride. Whilst it lasted. Because many of us have a strong immunity from and of you. And the shots, masks and inhalers falsely manufactured to “help” our kind. Especially our mankind.


Which was “geishally” the master plan all along. That and eating dogs of course.
