Catholics vs. Presbyterians

I visit Rob's blog, robot nine, pretty frequently...where he finds this stuff, I will never know.

I was raised Catholic, nun school for way to much of my life and the whole deal. So this particular post just about killed me!!!

"All dogs go to heaven"

"God loves all His creations, dogs included."

"Catholic dogs go to heaven. Presbyterian dogs can talk to thier preacher."

Rob says these pictures are photoshopped, and I have to believe him because when it comes to this stuff he is waaaaay smarter than me. That's also why he could post 8 pictures and I could only post 5. So, to see the rest of the pictures you'll have to visit robot nine, here,
Church Signs Do Battle Over Dog's Souls!Believe me, it's worth the trip!!! His pictures are clearer than mine, too, for some reason.

Thanks for the laughs, Rob!!! Don't let that world travel stuff keep you from keeping me amused!!!

DANG!!! I REALLY want this dog!!!

Free Giant Schnauzer
I'm trying really hard to find a good home for a Giant Schnauzer (Kelly, if you're still interested, please give me a call!) He needs someone who enjoys long walks and has other large dogs. Please contact me if you are interested!

Having Fenway here last week made me realize how much I enjoy having two dogs... I have seen this ad a couple of times now and it is haunting me... Giant Schnauzers are amazing dogs...to see one being given away just slays me!!!!

Even though I look at CL everyday, and check out petfinders on a regular basis, I need to remember I can only have one dog :( there are many reasons for this decision. My current financial and housing status are unstable to put it mildly. And that's just the beginning... But a Giant Schnauzer!!! DANG!!!
