Church welcomes 'dogs of all faiths'
The Baltimore Sun, USA

ORLANDO -- Worshippers who don't like to leave their sad-eyed pets behind can now take them to "doggie church."

"Dogs of all faiths welcome," is the motto of Hymns & Hounds, a dog-friendly church here. In April, Pastor Dee Renda gave families a way to include their pets spiritually. The 55-year-old pastor and former Florida professional dog trainer saw an article 2 1/2 years ago about a church in Fort Lauderdale that allowed all types of pets.

Renda loved the idea, but decided to open the outreach church of the Apopka Assembly to only dogs.

"I am not a bird or iguana trainer and I wouldn't know what to do if an iguana got eaten by one of the dogs," she said.

2. I'm pretty sure my dogs are heathens.

But if there is a heaven, they should be there. :)

4. OK, then, I'll form the First Church of the Holy Feline.

Cats are invited, but they can just sit there and blink if they like.

Catnip refreshments to follow.

NOTHING begins in my house before 10 a.m. - including me.

The same creatures that sniff each others asses as a greeting?
