Miraculous Moment #5 - Chapter 2 of - "If An Angel Didn't Perform a Miracle for Toby" - "Who Did"

Hello -

Please Note That -

These 4 Chapter - Note "FOUR CHAPTER" - Spiritual-based postings -

Are Based on -

Our Rescued DOG - TOBY'S - "Squirrelly Documentary"

As Well As - His -

"Angelic" -

"SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE"

Which had resulted in Our Final -

"Who Did It?"

Question

????

And That This Posting is - Part 2... of Those 4 Chapters

Hello Again -

The point

(That I Was Wanting to Make - in Part One of M.M.#5)

Is That...

It was - Simply Because -

That Particular Chipmunk (named Fred) - Would Continually Position Himself...

In the Smack-middle... of Toby's (our Dog's) Entry Porch Ledge...

(Which was - the home where Toby Currently Resided -

with the 3 other dogs - & His "2 Trained-Humans" - Meaning "My Husband & I")

While just Smirkingly-Sitting there...

Enjoying Another Moment of Chipmunk Cheek-stuffing Indulgence...

(Like what I had just finished explaining; to you in MM#5 Part 1)

& - That this is Basically How... this Whole "Squirrelly-Scenario"...

(Of a Desperate-dog... Continually Chasing... a Chuckling-chipmunk)

Had Actually Come to be...

A Ongoing - &%$#@!& - "Regular-Ritualistic-Running" Event...

As it Seemed to Take Place - Basically Every Time -

That the Side Entrance Door Was Opened...

Here on our property

!!!!!!!!!

With Both - Toby's & Fred's - Route... Including Their Starting & Ending Locations...

Being More Clearly Laid Out (& Demonstrated) for You...

In the Next 3 Photos Below...

Where I'm Showing You the Side-Entrance door... to Our Home...

Which Was Where the very same... repetitive "Squirrely-actions"...

Would Take Place - over and Over & "OVER" Again...

And so Now... The Next Thing That -

I'd Like to Demonstrate for You...

Through the Following Photo-sequence...

Is - Fred Doing - One of His Repetitive Routes...

& Which Actually Makes me Wonder... & Quite Often in FACT!!!

Just How Many Nuts (of the "Non-physical-form" of Course)... are Actually Located...

Under the Front Lawn of This Property!

?????????????????

In the Photo Above... We have Fred Stuffing his Chipmunk Cheeks...

Prior to Him Heading Home... in the Photo Below...

To Stash His Latest Cheeks of Groceries

And So .... Down the Porch Steps Fred Must Quickly Scurry...

Onto the Driveway Section... Which he Obviously wants to get back off of... A.S.A.P.

Then It's Over to the Grass section... That's -

Located Between the Driveway & the Stone Wall...

As Shown... In the Next Photo Below

Then - Up the Stone Wall...

That the "Chipmunk-chaser" Toby - is Unable to Either Climb or Jump - up or Onto

& Where Fred - Therefore Knows that - Toby will no longer be able to follow him

OK... Now Fred's "Almost" at His "Home base" (literally speaking)

& So Next... From the Stone Wall... Fred Must Head Into - the Bark Mulch Flower bed...

Located Between the Upper Section of the Stone wall... & the 2nd Section of Grass...

Where Fred's home... His "Basement-suite" in the ground... Underneath the Stump -

Is Located

But... of Course...

Before Leaving the Mulch Flower Bed...

Fred MUST STOP... and Carefully Look Both Ways...

Before Crossing the Lawn...

(the same way, as any - "street-smart" animal would do... prior to crossing any road)

Just in Case There's Any "Dog-traffic" - That Has Recently Entered Into This Area

& So... OK then... as the Coast (Lawn) looks Both Safe & Clear to Enter...

As there's Currently No Dog-traffic

Fred Quickly Now - Enters Into...

The Final "Home-base" Section of (one, of) His (two) Repetitive-routes

While at The Same Time...

Also... Preppingly... Quickly Getting Ourselves... into the - "Hole-leaping" Position

So That... We Are ...

Now...

Able to... Safely...

Completely - Get Away From... and Therefore Prevent...

Toby... (the Overly Determined Chipmunk-chasing Dog) From... Catching us...

Since We (Fred) Know... That There is Simply - NO WAY... for Him (Toby) to Fit Into...

Our Very Small... Squirrelly Dug-out... Chipmunk-size Entranceway!

And then....

Once We Have Finished - Putting Our Recent (Free Pick up) Groceries Away...

(a task... Which Usually Requires, about Two Minutes to Complete)

We Now... Once Again... Slowly Come Back up - Out of Our Basement-style Suite...

& At Which Point... & After Checking, that The Coast (Lawn) is Clear... of &%$#@ Dogs

In "BOTH" Directions... of Course

We Now Fully Emerge...

So That We Can "Quickly" Get Ready... to go "Peanut-shopping" Again...

By first... Cleaning up Our Paws... After Being in That Dirty Cellar-storage Room

And Then... Once our Paws are All Clean...

We Now... Quickly Head Right on Back... to the Very Same...

Porch-ledge Peanut-shop...

Where we Can... Once Again... Try to Frustrate & "REALLY URK" Toby...

To The Best Of Our "Munk-ability"

And of Course... Each Time that The - T. & F. C.

(The - "Toby & Fred Chase")

Ritual Occurred...

They Would "BOTH" (Toby & Fred) Always... TRY to Point Out...

To Any - Watching Bystanders...

That this "Repetitive-behavior"... is (was) All -

"His Fault" - "Not Mine"

!!!

(& Just as Fred's Seen Demonstrating... By Pointing Towards Toby.. in the Photo Below)

Now... Please Note That... This "Munk-chasing Ritual" Used to Really Upset Me...

As I Had - Truly Begun to "Worry"... & Frequently Fret for Fred...

& More and More Steadily...

As the days... & Months... then YEARS... Went by...

As How Could "Any Bystander" - for that Matter - Not Become Concerned -

Over What Would "Actually Happen"...

If... and (Heaven Help Fred) When... Toby Actually Did - Accomplish His Lifetime Goal...

And Thereby - Eventually "Caught" Up to "Fast-Fred"...

While Fred Was... Once Again... Doing this Regular Routine...

of him...

Grabbing Ahold of His Nuts... Which He Obviously Enjoyed Doing...

& on a "Regular Bases" I Might Add!

Followed by Him then Performing... a Quick Run With Them...

Tightly Being held in Place - between His Tight-cheeks...

& Even While Also Performing - His "Aerobic-exercises" While Doing so...

That is - If that Scenario (of Toby Catching Fred) Was in Fact, Possible - in the 1st place?

Since I Knew that - Fred Always - Had the Major Advantage...

Of the Stone Wall - Being His - "Safe Zone"

(Just as he is "Calmly Demonstrating for You" while Posing in the Photo Below...

And Where the - Only Reason Why...

Fred Wasn't Proudly-smiling for that Photo-shot... was Because Even a Chipmunk... Must - Be Very Careful How They Smile...

When Their Cheeks - Just Like Their Family Tree - is Obviously Filled with Nuts)

Plus there's the Fact that Toby... Never Seemed to Make it Down, the 4 porch steps...

And then - Over to That Stone Wall...

As QUICKLY - as "Fast-Fred" Could "Fast & Frantically" do That Very Same "F" Route.

However - it was...

During the last 4 years... of My Watching this Regular - Fred Chasing-routine...

(Before Toby had Passed Away)

That I had Eventually Begun to Realize - the "Fact"...

That Toby Would Often... SUDDENLY... SLOW DOWN...

"ON PURPOSE"

If He Was "EVER" Getting to Close... to Actually Catching Frederick the 3rd....

(Um - Please note that - The Reason Why... I'm (now) Referencing to Fred - as "Frederick the 3rd"...

Is Because The First Generations of Freds - Had, by This Point in Time...

Reached the Time - in Ones "Squirrelly-life"...

Where the "Family Traditions"... Meaning the Family's "Nuts & All" etc...

Had Now Been - Passed on Down; to the Next Chipmunk-generation... 3 times over...

Where Hence... They (the next younger chipmunk-generation) Were to Continue on...

And Basically Takeover... & "Literally RUN" Their Family's -

Shopping & Storage Business...

In Relation to - BOTH the "Family's Business"... as Well as Their "Goals in Life"...

Which is Why... We were Now... Dealing with the Original Fred's...

"Great Grandchipmunk"... or in Mortal terms - the Original Fred's "Great Grandson"

And so... Hence... that was the Reason Why...

We Now Referred to Him (Fred) as - "Frederick the 3rd")

At which point in time - We Had Begun to Notice - that the Young Fredrick (the 3rd)...

Would Often Slow down...

If Old Grandpa-age Toby... was Suddenly Dragging to Far Behind... During Their -

Quote - "Ritual-race"...

To the Old Stone Wall...

That Was Located in Front of Our House...

Back Where - The "Very First Nut-Race" Had in Fact Begun

& Which had... over the Previous years... & JUST as I'd Mentioned a Moment ago...

Been tagged... and Labeled as... the "Safe Home-base" Zone for Frederick the 3rd...

Since Toby was... Totally Unable by now... in His Senior Years.... to Even Quickly Run... Over to that Stone Wall - "Little lone" Jump Up & Onto it...

And Thereby Continue to Chase the Current... More Youthful Faster-Frederick the 3rd...

All the way over... to Fred's "Home-base"... Hole in the Ground.

Due to Toby's Senior "Weight"... and "Short Arthritic legs"... Combined with -

His Current (Obvious) "Senior age"... Naturally Slowing The OLD BOY Down.

In other words...

It Had by Now... Become Quite Obvious...

That - Unless Toby Could Perhaps... Opt to Chase Frederick the 3rd...

In Say - A "Faster Form" - of Transportation - Such as - in that of a Motorized Vehicle...

& Like What He is Shown - Contemplatingly "Trying" to Figure Out...

If He Can Somehow do... In the Photo Below?

& Where His - Biggest Problem - At That Moment -

Was Being Able to Reach - "Both" - the Pedals & the Steering Wheel -

At the Same Time -

And While "Also" Being Able to See Out the Front Window

?????????

That He Otherwise - Simple Didn't Stand a Chance... In His Senior Years...

In Ever "Going as fast As" - Little Lone "Catching Up" to - that "Young Chipper"

!!!!!!!!!!!

But then - Toby Eventually Realized - That -

Because - it takes "Time" for "Any Driver" - to get a vehicle going... in the First Place...

THAT - Therefore - This Idea - Likely Wouldn't Work Anyway!

& BESIDES... Toby Lifetime-Goal Was to "JUST" - "CATCH" Frederick the 3rd...

Not Run Him Over!

Anyway... The Point is That...

The Whole Scenario

(Of the dog Continually Chasing, the Squirrel - Ritual - & a Lifetime Goal)

Had Eventually Become...

More of a - "Hunting-game"... of "Catch and Release"...

Between the Two of Them...

(And one ...

Where the hunter... Doesn't Actually (EVER) Catch... the Targeting Running-prey)

Simply Because... They Had Each...

(Both the "Hunter" and the "Hunted")

During those Last Ten Years... and Via the Time Period of 3 Different Nutty-generations

& Therefore while it (This Traditional Sport) Was Being Passed on Down...

Through to, the Next Two Fred Generations...

From The Squirrel-family - Over to their Chipmunk-cousins - 3 Times Removed

Come to Realize...

That the - "Only Thing" - That Would Actually Happen...

If Toby "DID in FACT"... Ever Manage to Catch Fred...

or Fredrick - or Perhaps sometimes "Frederika" - the 2nd or 3rd...

Just As He (Toby) Had Originally Planned on Doing ... Many years ago now.

When He Had gone from being a Beach-bum Digger - to that of a Lifetime Goal-Chaser

Or if Toby...

Due Him Never Being Able to Actually Catch - that &^%$#@! Furry Tailed Rodent...

Were to "Eventually"... JUST GIVE UP... All Together... on Pursuing a "Lifetime Goal"...

Since He'd Noticed - How He'd Gradually - via Age - Been Lagging FARTHER... & Further & Far-further Behind...

Upon Each New Passing-day...

Due to Him (Naturally) Slowing Down with Age

!!!!!!!!!!!!

& That if That (Either One of Those Retired-hunting Options)

of Either Giving up all Together - or Running over Fred & Thereby Ending this -

Furry Rat-race -

Were the Case

?????????????

That What Would've ACTUALLY HAPPENED - Would've been that -

Neither One of Them...

Neither Toby nor Fred, or Fredericka or Frederick the 2nd and 3rd

Would Actually Know What to Do... With Themselves...

From That Finalized Moment - of Full Retirement - Onward

Since this Whole Scenario - in Both Toby's and Fred's life...

Had, by This Point in Time... Simply Become - Just a "Hobby-Sport"... and Game...

That the Two of Them... Obviously Enjoyed...

Ongoingly "Competing" in... Together

Rather than it - "Catching a "&^%$#@! Squirrel" - Still Being -

What it Had Originally been...

Starting Way Back... When Toby Had Eventually Chosen "Fred-hunting"... as -

His lifetime - "GOAL" or -

"A Point" - That Was STILL Needing, To Be "Proven"...

By "Either One" of Them!

But Then Folks...

Isn't That the Way... That it (One of the Circles in Life) Goes for Most of Us...

As it is Actually When... We Each Get Older... and in the Process Become -

Hopefully More Wiser - & are No Longer Basing Our Thoughts - or Lifetime Goals

On Either "Squirelly or Nutty" Goals & Accomplishments

?!?!?!?!

That We - At That Senior Moment in Our Life - Suddenly Realize...

What Actually Matters - the Most - in One's Life.

And that Holding Onto - "Old & Also New Friends"...

While Doing "Together" the Things... in Which - "We Both" Enjoy Doing...

Is Way More Important - In The End -

Than Trying to Prove - Which One of Us - is "Better" - at ANY Game or "Goal" in Life

?!?!?!?!

And Hence - that Was Why...

I Had Eventually Come to Realize -

"What Really Matters in Life"

Through My Continually Watching Toby & Frederick the 3rd & 4th

During the Last Year of Toby's life... Which was "STILL" Being Ritualistically Spent...

With Him and Frederick & Fredericka the 2nd & 3rd...

NOW - Just Maintaining the "Sportsmanship-scenario" - of Their Daily "Ritual-game"...

Right up UNTIL - The "Final-Race" Day had "Arrived"...

When Toby was Now - Almost 15 years old...

& During Which Saddening Moment - He Had Suddenly.......
