The Concept of Nena

The concept for NENA began one day in my porch. I was having breakfast and doing a devotion. My dog, Baby, aka Nena, was laying next to me. Motion between tree branches was heard out of nowhere. Baby sees a squirrel jumping from one side of the wooden fence, that divides my property from the city's ditch, to my neighbor's fence. My chihuahua turned into the Incredible Hulk-pooch. Her hair on her neck began to raise, and her snout enlarged as she tried to scare the living daylights out of the squirrel. That dog has a constant heart issue with every squirrel she sees. What is up with that?

My dyslexic brain began to envision a Rambo-type version of Baby climbing up the fence with her army-colored bandanna around her puny head, and a gun belt crossing over her right dog shoulder down to her left side. She is diligently trying to attack the squirrel. But, the squirrel wont budge. The fight scene was somewhat like anything we can think of seeing in the most recent years of action thrillers...Matrix moves, Spider-Man swinging, etc...

Then...the godly man in me got back to the basics. I said to myself, "This dog needs to repent!"

As if...

I put on my pious, double-oh Paul personality and begin to apply a Christian theme to this entire daydream about my dog and her nemesis, The Quarreling Squirrel of DOOM. My dog could have learned a valuable lesson, that is to make peace with her enemy, like Jesus did when He came to save his unruly flock who were once his enemies. (See where I am going with this???)Suddenly, my dog becomes this good, K-9 Samaritan, that frolics into the house and brings out a biscuit to share with Squirrel.

There.

The moral of the story was "Go the extra mile for your enemy. If he is hungry, feed him...or it..." whatever.
