Where the Rubber Hits the Road

God is indeed VERY good. On this day-off spent responding in various forums and to friends and parishioners regarding the horrific revelations of the past few days, the breeder of my canine companion decided to send along a few 'puppy' shots that I can add to my photo library. I'm happy to share them with you here. He's as handsome today as he was then, although he has adapted to a shorter hair style now than in earlier days. I'll post some current pictures after his next grooming, but here are the gifts I received today. Enjoy.  These pictures were taken when he was 10 weeks old This was what he looked like when he first came to live with me...(lot's of brushing) ...and here's what he looks like after his last grooming

I thought it was time to introduce Mateo , my canine companion to the blog... so now he (sleepily) greets everyone who visits the site. He is a retired show dog from a breeder in the USA. Perhaps next month I'll post a picture of my feline friend ( Abraham ) as well. Life is better with friends!

Just a personal note: after 26 straight hours of driving, I finally arrived home with my new companion, Mateo. If I were more awake, I would post a picture; alas, that's beyond my capacity right now. Thank you for the good wishes and prayers that I received subsequent to Sunday's posting when I announced that I was going to get him. I'll post a few articles tonight, and tomorrow (hopefully) some cogent remarks. Fr. Tim
