Mom says I’m a “terrier” (or maybe she said terror?). I’m not really sure what she said because I was so busy seeing what the cats were doing. She says “terrier” is French for ‘busybody’. Do you think that might be why she calls me Ms Nosybritches sometimes?
I love to be right up in the middle of whatever she or Dad are doing. If they’re eating chips, it’s only fair that I get some. And if they’re watching TV, I ought to be able to sit in the chair and watch with them, right? Even if it means getting right in front of them.
Mom watches a show that says all dogs need a job to be happy. The man on the show says that a tired dog is a happy dog. That sounds about right, doesn’t it?
I love having a job – I can “sit”, “stand up”, “high five”, “shake” and “load up”, and I’m working on “do si do” (circling) and going through a hoop.
Mom says that God has given people a job to do too.
Each of us should praise God, and each of us should tell others about Jesus and how much He loves us. But we also have other jobs too; some people are supposed to take care of sick people and pets (like my vet, Dr G!). Some people are teachers, and some people make sure that everyone follows the rules. There are lots of jobs!
If you’re not sure what your job is, why don’t you talk to God? He made you and He knows exactly what you’d do best. He listens to me when I talk to Him, and I know He will listen to you too!

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16
