He was also a Presbyterian Minister from what I understand :)

Yes, it's a Corgi. The same type the Queen of England keeps. There are two distinct types of Corgi which are shown separately in Conformation. The Cardigan Corgi (Tri-color with distinctive markings) and The Pembroke Welsh Corgi, which is what this adorable puppy happens to be :)

This could also be highly dangerous. Kudos to you all for thinking of their safety as well as your own and any innocent drivers on the road.

Sqkuirtle - I have been training dogs for 25 years, I am an animal behaviorist, German Shepherd Breeder (with a waiting list for puppies that extends through 2015), and as a side note I am also a canine color genetics expert. I have worked in rescue as well for years and still am in constant contact with rescue folks and organizations all over the world. Our kennel works with Battle Buddy, an organization that helps pair veterans with PTSD with a service dog and I currently have 7 people who own dogs out of my breedings that either ARE their current service dog or are a puppy in training to be either a Guide, Elderly assistance, PTSD, seizure assist, or hearing dog. So I'm kind of thinking I have more knowledge on the subject but again, each individual dog needs to be assessed and behavioral modification training that suits THEM need to be put in place.

No wings = another pair of ruined underwear every couple of hours on day and night one when you resemble that hallway scene in the shining.

Ran out of room, just wanted to add that you can throw in your opinion regarding the indoctrination of young children who are very impressionable and why religious beliefs often depend solely on your geographical location. For instance, can you say with any certainty that if you were born in the Middle East and raised with another doctrine that you would still be able to, and more importantly, would want to, accept Christianity as your chosen faith? Or do you think you would be reading an entirely different religious text as a result of random chance and be solid in your belief that the Quran is to be revered? Honest answer if you can without using terminology like "I know God chose for me" or any response that includes attempting to convince me that you know what some omnipotent deity is\was thinking, etc. Nothing irritates me more than flimsy reasoning explaining why you chose your lifestyle and ideology. For the majority, it is chosen for them at birth and spoon fed to them.

Yes, I was raised Catholic and as an atheist now ancient mythology and ideology has always fascinated me. However, I cannot understand the mental gymnastics you are doing in order to state that the bible is the literal word of a deity. Forget that the oldest scrolls found date back to approximately 4 decades after Yehoshua ben Yosef was crucified. Obviously you know your biblical text so I am simply going to ask how, after many translations, some from dead languages, the political manipulation by Constantine, and the hack job done by the Nicene Counsel (to name one group of "Holy Men" who took it upon themselves to "decide" what was to be considered the word of God) can you possibly tell me that the text written in the bible is "The word of God". Also I am interested in how you can discern between true scripture, and the fairy tales of ignorant superstitious Bronze age camel herders and how ANY of it applies to us today.
