[SallyMander]

1. What kind of dog?

:hi:

[bamacrat]

2. He's a Redbone Coonhound with a tiny bit of lab mixed in.

He's 1 1/2 yrs old. We rescued him from the animal shelter, it was his second time in the slammer, don't know how long he had.

[SallyMander]

3. Aww, good for you!

Rescue dogs are the best. My two are pound puppies. What did you name him?

:yourock:

[bamacrat]

8. Rupert

His last name is Heinz because he is red,... not my idea but, oh well it gives him some character.

4. Are you going to post piccies?

Pretty please? :)

5. Where does he sleep at night?

[bamacrat]

9. On a rug next to our bed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Congratulations and thank you for saving him.

:hug:

[bamacrat]

10. I don't see any point in spending hundreds of dollars for a bred puppy.

I want one with some of this, a little of that, no health problems like some breeds.

7. Is the dog mentioned in the pre-nup?

:hi:

[bamacrat]

12. Too poor for a pre-nup, but between us he likes me more.

11. for Rupert...

Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Amen.



Dear God, protect and bless all beings that breathe, keep all evil from them, and let them sleep in peace. Amen.
--Albert Schweitzer, "Memoirs of Childhood and Youth"


Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.
--Franciscan prayer


Rupert, may you be blessed in the name of the Holy One who created you, and may you and Bamacrat enjoy life together and care for one another in peace.
