Celebrating the life of Fred Noble JRT

Today we had a beautiful little party celebrating the life of our gorgeous furry boy Fred Noble (who writes asTed Terrier). In Fred's basket written memories of him, his beloved lead, Fred badges, his favourite snack babybel cheese and most importantly his ashes. The latter were scattered into the compost which was added to plant his Buckeye Belle paeony. Thank you to wonderful friends including his artists Sue Mynall andGe Jo for being present and making this such a happy occasion just as he'd want. Fred was joy and is just that through his spirit now everywhere! heart emoticon smile emoticon XOX

Ted's Easter Sunday Sermon on the Chair (not the Mount)

Today is Easter Sunday and that is the day when many humans - especially if they are Christian though you can still do it if you want and you're not called Christian - go to church to sing songs to celebrate Jesus being resurrected - without the help of a mug of tea - to go and be with God cos he didn't have a Dog to look after him. (I talk about that in my Good Friday Message.) They also drink wine and eat bits of bread which is supposed to be his blood and bits of his body but I'd much rather have a nice meaty bone, which would also have blood and bits of body on it - Emma is pulling a face; hers not mine and I don't mean literally pulling it but turning it into s funny shape cos she doesn't like what I'm saying. Jesus was obviously a very nice man who tried to do a lot for people to heal them and save them from their ways of being cos 'they know not what they do'. I agree with him and they don't know it cos they have muddled thinking. That's why I also try to save humans and make them better. God is Jesus' father. Jesus was created by God who gave him to humans to look after and some of them didn't do it very well. I was created by a Dog and then given to humans to look after but they did do it very well but I also look after them cos I love them as did Jesus love all of us. Another man called John said in his chapter 3, verse 16 and 17 in the bible…

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall on perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him…"

The Dog who created me also created other dogs and so I am not the only begotten son and there are also lots of dogs created by other dogs and I hope all of you humans believe in all of us dogs but whether you do or not we can't promise that you won't 'perish' but we can promise to make your lives very happy and worth living. We don't judge you - even though you have muddled thinking which is a statement of fact and not a judgement - and we save you from feeling bad by giving you more love than eternal life could possibly hold. You don't have to eat or drink anything in particular to show you remember us though if you do have chicken do remember not to give us the bones as they are bad for us and if you do have chocolate eggs do remember not to give us the chocolate as that also makes us unwell - and dogs remember not to eat it but you can eat the inside of some eggs as I am doing below and eggs that are begotten of chickens that aren't of chocolate . We'd much rather have a juicy meaty bone (not from chickens or turkeys so it might be better to have beef or lamb for your Easter Sunday lunch) or I like bombel cheese (Pleease J ) but will unconditionally love you whether you give one of those or not.

Happy Yappy Easter Sunday!

Love and Licks, Ted XOXOX

Ted's Good Friday Message

Today is Good Friday and so Emma said she was going to have a Hot Cross Bun with her mug of tea. Emma drinks many mugs of tea in a day but this one was her special one cos it was the first one and so it would be the one that wakes her up or as she says it 'resurrects' her. She also has another special one which is the last one she has before she goes to bed at night and is the one that she says sends her to sleep. She says it has something in it that does both things depending on what time it is in the day, though my other humans say that is nonsense. Yes, I know what you're thinking I'm going to say, it's muddled thinking again and all humans have it so the ones who say it doesn't make sense also say things that don't make sense themselves so 'they are ones to talk' though they are talking. Aren't humans confusing?! There was one person - and I don't know who it was - who called a Hot Cross Bun a 'Hot Cross Bun' so I thought I would go and have a look at Emma's Hot Cross Bun and see if I could understand why it was called that. I sniffed at the same time as looking. The first thing I discovered was that Emma's Hot Cross Bun wasn't hot at all. In fact it was completely cold. It also wasn't cross at all. I know when something is cross - it usually turns red - which would also tell you it's hot which it wasn't - and move around a lot very rapidly and in quite a scary way - it didn't do any of that at all and just stayed sitting still on the arm of the chair - which I find hard to do cos when I'm sitting on the arm of the chair I'm very active ready to greet people that I can see from it. I looked at the Hot Cross Bun for a long time to see if anything would happen and nothing happened at all. In fact the only thing it did that seemed to be right to me was to be a bun. A bun is bread in a different shape and that is what it was and I was very good and didn't try eating it cos dogs mustn't eat too much bread cos it's bad for us. Then Emma came to actually have her Hot Cross Bun and tea and I looked at her to tell her I didn't understand what it was and also wagged my tail to show her what a good boy I'd been and she said I was anyway. Emma said she also didn't know why it's called a Hot Cross Bun - she said she could have had it hot by heating it up but she didn't and that maybe it was cross cos it has a cross on it - which is true it did - we could both see that by looking at it - and then she said she thought it was something to do with Jesus cos he was killed on a cross on Good Friday lots of many years ago and humans are supposed to eat them on Good Friday for him. That confused me even more cos it can't have been very nice for Jesus to be killed on a cross so I don't understand why that meant it got called Good Friday - I mean surely it should be Bad Friday - and I don't know why eating Hot Cross Buns would help him. Emma said it was good cos he saved all humans by dying himself. I love humans very much but I don't see why they would need someone to die for them. Emma said Jesus then got resurrected to be with God - and he did it without having a mug of tea - and that's why it was good for him too. She then laughed and said Jesus didn't have a DoG so that's why he had to got to be with GoD which is dog backwards. I laughed with her but I think she was being very silly. Still if that's the reason then I am a dog and I care for humans cos I love them and I want to make your Friday very Good J
