Question of the week: Is it OK to be angry? Is it OK to yell, scream, shout, or should we keep it to ourselves?
I ask because of an incident involving my spectacularly bad pet sitting skills. My parents left me at home on vacation to pet sit. Now, I am not a pet lover. Animals are OK, I just don't think people should keep them indoors around everything you hold near and dear...they have a remarkable tendency to destroy everything you hold near and dear, including sanity.
We have an Australian shepherd who's about a year old. I hate him. I truly do. He always wants me to play with him, always wants me to feed him, always gets in the way, always pees on the floor, always is just flat out 100% annoying.
And they left me in charge of him.
No, I didn't break out the guillotine (OK, maybe Thor's Hammer once in a while). I did yell though. A LOT. I'd let the dog out for twenty minutes or more to do its business, and the second it got back in? Magic yellow puddles appeared.
I feel bad because as Christians we are supposed to be loving. That doesn't include pets right? Its not like I'm abusing the dog or anything...I just don't like him. Such a conundrum.
So, riddle me this, is it still OK to get angry at someone?
