Explaining Bijou's Bounce

Followers of this blog know that I presently alternate from politics to Bijou to hockey to Stephen Harper and President Putin. Well, here goes another dogscapade--how's that for coining a new word to go along with bounsing? My bounsing dog is off to Pet and Brew to be lovingly kennel-kept till March 22 and we are heading to California this morning for some sun and hot springs!

Now the bounsing. My investigation led me to reread again my little piece on "praying for pets" in Plain Prayers and Small Miracles section of the web page (www.kneillfoster.com). There I was reminded of a signal event in Bijou's life. He had been handed over to the vet for an operation and he nearly died. But after his somewhat remarkable healing, he became a somewhat rejuvenated dog.

Better yet, if you recall my dog prose, he started bounsing. I now conclude that his bounsing began when he recovered through prayer. I invite all readers of this blog to come by after March 22 and see for themselves. This fifteen-year-old dog is an incurable bounce!

And if you want to see your dog bounce too--here's the plan--let him/her get sick, get operated upon, and then get well through prayer. Inevitably, in my view, you will have a bounsing dog. They love life after having nearly lost it! This could even apply to the odd human.
