You can bring your dog to the sunday service at this church. I wonder if attendance will increase.

Thats different. I didn't read the link, but the point of worship should be to serve God, not to come just because we can bring out loyal pets. Still cool though.

Nothing really to do with this thread.... Just venting.

laugh all you want. i was raised catholic, and once a year we had a blessing of the pets service. we would all bring our pets, have a regular mass and the priest would bless our animals. maybe if more people thought of thier animals as part of the family and not "just a pet" , shelters would be less full. just something to think about.

Are they half full? Or half empty?
I'm sorry John, No offense really.
It just doesn't wash for me... Guess I'm damned for all eternity.
I can't be nice so I won't come back to this one.
Carry on.

The blessing of the beasts is a very old and frequently-practiced Catholic tradition, and I do not see why our dogs should be any different from the livestock, save for of course they are very special to us, moreso than the token cow or goat. 
And, all of mine are family members, so why not?
I am not a religious man, but have been at mass services where my motorbike (along with many more) was blessed. And, you think it strange to bless the dogs? LOL
Best Regards,

"To each their own" as i was raised. some shepherd owners work their dogs in schutzhund, some PSA, some ring sports, some herding, some etc. to some they are pets, to others part of the family. to some they are animals and treated as such, to others they are children and cared for as much.

You use a rabbid Rotty to pass the collection basket. That should bring in more dough!
