If I could afford a new pet, I would get one from you. We are in the same state afterall. But two dogs, a cat and a few chickens is all we can handle right now. Darn. They are soooooooo...... cute.
My son gets to experience being teased by his younger sister now. They were doing something in the kitchen and he informed her that she didn't think that her actions were too bright. She responded with, "Well, I am smart enough not to pet a snarling dog." Poor boy, he just handed his sisters...
Ewesheep brought up an interesting subject. I used to worry about what happened to us when we die. Now, I don't.

Please be sure to check that the dog has had rabies vaccines. I was bitten by an unvaccinated german shepherd when I was 7 or 8. An excruciating ordeal. Still afraid of big dogs! Just to be safe, you really should check. Hope he has learned his lesson, and will use...
It was his own fault.
Once a week, he participates in a bus ministry with another church. The man who runs the ministry is very sweet and cares a lot about the kids that take part. They go to different neighbors and offer rides to anyone who can't get to church.
Today, they got out of the bus...
Melissa, very early on in the history of the thread, atheist have been made welcome. I don't think that the OP was bothered by their presence. I think most of us have enjoyed talking to the variety of people who have participated in this thread. this is a good thread for those of us who don't...
