Doggy Oaths
I’d like someone to explain to me how dogs can become sworn officers. I imagine a lot from my dog’s expressions and attitudes, but I’m at a loss on this one.

I don’t usually post pictures because I’m not a very visual person and I’m definitely not a photographer. But I enjoyed using my Palm Centro phone to take pictures of a few flowers I saw while walking my dog. He’s getting a bit older, so the walk is only about a third of a mile,…
In these pictures I’m not doing the work. My landlord is. I’ve been working on some of this stuff as well, but today I was taking the pictures. Tom Hunt, my landlord, owns all the heavy equipment. I have to say that the work is fun. Right now we’re cleaning up the piles of limbs…

Hmm. But will my dog ever make it through confirmation? 🙂
I’m sure I can find an Anglican bishop who will confirm him! As for ordination of dogs or canine bishops, I wonder which province will take that step first, or perhaps someone thinks it has been taken already – and I don’t mean to refer to a possible interpretation of Deuteronomy 23:18 and Revelation 22:15.
Things are worse than I thought. At Lambeth it looks like the newly consecrated bishops will be not dogs but rabbits!
The rabbit has the appropriate facial expression for a bishop. 🙂
