Women's Dearfoams DF906 (2 Pairs)

Dearfoams® microfiber suede one band scuff is the ideal active slipper. It has a molded footbed with patented technology and gore gussets for an improved fit.

It seems that the prefix 'cat' (Uff Da) is carelessly thrown around to include a range of definitions, i.e. catapult, catacomb, cataract, catch, catatonic, etc

Even the word Catholic starts with this and I feel very uncomfortable with it because it focuses on a particular animal and ignores others...like dogs. My email friend, Bernie, the St. Bernard, informs me that there is even a 'cat' sculpture in the papal garden that shows discrimination for a favorite pet.

If this discrimination were true, I would ask if Pope Benedict is catatonic by being fixed, rigid, and immovable towards one pet or will he include his kindness to us dogs?

Now, I like cats (UFF DA) but in different way. In my hometown of Embarrass, MN they were necessary for catching rodents and rats. But they couldn't pull a snow sled or carry a tune. Once in a while, they would rub up against you and purr, which is affectionate, but somewhat fickle.

Why doesn't the Pope get a dog or at least give us equal time with our own sculpture in his garden? We could fetch his slippers, carry his newspaper, and protect him against Lutherans.

I am reluctant to mention this and I don't want to start a controversy, but other religious leaders have expressed their love for the dog:

"I think God will have prepared everything for our perfect happiness. If it takes my dog being there [in Heaven], I believe he'll be there."

Rev. Billy Graham

To show 'catholic' or universal love for dogs, I would suggest an educational program from the Vatican for canine training by offering one good training idea for dog lovers everywhere. For example:

• A training tip like: An idea for greeting a dog is to make sure he is quiet and calm first. Show him your open palms when facing him and kneel down (like in praying) to his level because this is a friendly posture and reassuring to him that you are no threat.

You could call this training: No Dog Left Behind and offer encouragement, training tips, and what great heroes dogs have been.

The point I am trying to make is: Adopt a dog and be divine. You don't really own a dog anyway, you rent them, and you have to be thankful that you had a long lease.
