Sometime next month we will go to Treasure's and present the g-strings to the deprived strippers (with tips of course) and insure they fit properly for lap dances.

There should be some females go too - because it's so much damn fun to be a female at a strip club with a bunch of guys.

Sounds good to me. I say we agree to skip the hell thing for a while and just come back to Texas in May for the concert, it will feel like hell anyways, and hit up Hooter's and the strip clubs and it will be so damn hot we won't even remember coats for dogs SAnta, PH, PHritz, Bits... at a strip club, what could go wrong?

SHUT THE HELL UP SANTA!!!! Bachelor parties do not count!

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it does seem interesting.

The woman has the money; she can spend it however she wants. If she wants to spend it on her dog, that's her choice. Likewise, if she wants to donate it to a church, also her choice.

Rick Warren also has the money, but it isn't about how he is spending it, it is that he is asking other people to spend their money.

You actually don't see the difference in someone asking for money vs someone spending their money as they see fit?

Gee....guess that's why he has fur.....and I donated all my old coats to the Rescue Mission before I bought a dog coat.
He's just a skinny little minute, I thought he'd appreciate it......I was wrong.

It will probably surprise no one that I believe that animals should be helped at the same time as people (not only after all human needs are satisfied). Most people have resources and options open to them...thousands of animals do not. I do a lot with charities for both people and animals, but the animals have a very special place in my heart, as do people who care enough to take care of the helpless victims of circumstance that many animals have become lately.

So SK94 you feel it would be better to go on a shopping spree for yourself than spoil a beloved pet or support a pet charity? You would hate to see the way my cats live Right now two of them are sleeping in heated bed in the bay window with a floor to ceiling cat tree right next to them. My rescued stray Domino is asleep on a rug in a plastic dish pan because that is her favorite. I hand knit cat toys for them and I love them with all my heart. I hope some day you have the joy of loving a pet that much...the return on love often beats that of other humans.

Oh and Bill? Many terriers would take on any of those dogs you posted pictures of. I've never seen a dog with more courage and willingness to scrap than my friend's Yorkie. Most terriers know no fear.
