Calvary Episcopal Church will offer later this month its first "Perfect Paws Pet Ministry" aimed at giving area pooches and their owners improved odds at getting canines into heaven. The Danvers church plans to hold the service on the third Sunday of every month, complete with communion for the humans and special blessings for pets. Dogs will get special treats. Church officials said well-mannered, leashed dogs are invited. People can submit a paper prayer if their pets are sick, not good around other dogs or deceased. Prayers can also be offered for other types of pets. Rev. Thea Keith-Lucas told The Salem News dogs will have a say during service because barking won't be banned. http://www.denverpost.com/watercooler/ci_15023806 This is money, time and resources spent on animals who have no idea what is going on that should be spent on reaching lost people. It is both ridiculous and sad. Yeah - it's truly sad. It shows where the focus is - or rather - isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why waste your breath telling them when kicking works so much faster? Certified crazy ol' cat lady here sez: Hey, I'm just joking around. I actually love cats!

(or it could just be my emotional upset trying to let off pressure ) Making people laugh is what I live for. My dream is to one day write for Conan O'Brien.

I do think they are acting in a descriminatory manner, excluding all animals but dogs. Perhaps this is just a first step in the redemption of all animals? Obviously they need services for cats, but they could also consider services for birds, hamsters, and fish. Alright....who are you and what have you done with Butero? Someone with cats. I don't want them descriminated against. Awww....you're a cat person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want them descriminated against. Awww....you're a cat person! We have two in the house: Pamela and Dolly. Then there are a bunch of strays that come around for food: one with very ugly colors I call Mongrell. Then there is Fancy, Sheila, Coffee, and Noodles. That doesn't count the kittens two of them just had, probably under my deck, and some I haven't seen in awhile or that my wife and I haven't named. Great names, Butero. When God talked about the way we treat the 'least of these' I believe He probably meant His animals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
