How Much?

You'd think that after all the humble pie that I've eaten that I'd learn never to say; "never." Truth is, sometimes, you have to say, never; but usually, it's been my experience, if you'll pray about it, never doesn't have to happen, there is usually a way around it, to bye-pass it, or some other means to get there. Sometimes, though, that's not gonna happen. My best love in the world is God, Debbie and family (in which I automatically include some) second, and third is my dog Mopsey, here is why. When Mopsey was dumped at the place where my wife used to work (it's shortly to go down to Mexico and all the faithful workers there, let go...nice, huh? It's happening all over the place from what I hear?) Mopsey was about 20 pounds of tortured animal, she had been so abused by people that she was deathly scared of people. Her pink skin shone through what looked like kicked or bitten off fur, so much so that we took her to the vet, couple hundred bucks later determined, no, it wasn't the mange. Also she had been shot in the ear with a BB gun (would love to find out who did that so I could pray God would take the matter into consideration for His vengance for His Zoe..), and basically Mopsey was flat out near death and scared to death. Over a period of three months, three long, difficult and torturous months, we got Mopsey to eat food and drink water, and come near to me, I'd get down on all fours with my eyes down, and the back of my hand lifted toward her, and eventually, we were able to get her to connect. What sort of courage do you think it took for Mopsey to forgive some soul which had tortured her, I don't think she understood that humans, all humans, didn't equal such pain, and it took time to get her to see that not all humans are soulfully lacking respect for God by not honoring His creation. So perhaps as a result of this very brief description of my basic, very basic love for this great souled dog; you will understand why it hurts me beyond belief to have to spank her with a newspaper because those who live around us want to limit her freedom without the expense of putting up a fence? We will soon be fencing in the yard, but right now, we've had to engage in somehow getting Mopsey to understand that she cannot be free, as I understand it, if you use newspaper, it doesn't hurt, but the sound provides a scare? Personally it's hurting me in the extreme to have to go this route but what else can one do, until she learns to remain within boundaries set by those who believe they own God's creation? Those who believe that God doesn't mind when His creation gets harmed or hurt by their lack of love? The Bible says:

Rom 8:22

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Rom 12:19

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

So to those who believe that they are superior to God and that they are destined to control what God hath made and that the creation of God doesn't feel, nor need consideration of the great love of God, my prayer is that they'll awaken from their slumber soon, before God has to illustrate for them the pain they foolishly cause with their lack of love for their God, in that they abuse His created order.
