“Go lay by your dish, and your sin will be forgiven. And put you tail between your legs for 1 hour”

Ten Hail Mary Frisbee tosses.

Cmon what dog doesnt do this ?

You little hobbit, you.

A cat might try this trick, but it wouldn’t feel guilty, or see any need to confess.

Bad doggie!

Your name wouldn’t be Pippin, would it?

Even worse, the breakfast was lamb, so a confession of mutton-y gluttony…

A Talking Dog?

Born to eat!

Forgive me father, for I have scammed

I hardly think that would be a “confession”, right? More like a brag!

That’s not a sin. Unless of course if you are the poor gullible hooman who fell for it.

Abstain from using flea and tick powder for the next week.

A friend of mine would often tell her dogs, “stop fibbing.”

That’s not a confession. That’s boasting.

My dog would be confessing to peeing on the carpet a lot. And that’s a mortal sin according to Mosey’s 10 Commandments as handed down by almighty Dog.

I don’t think that’s confession worthy. Now biting the hand that feeds you? Yeah. That would be worthy.

That’s okay. You’re forgiven!

A Roman Dogholic?

Can’t relate. My friend’s dog’s Jewish.

sinner for dinner!

And now I’m pretending to be Catholic.

Very funny. My cat does this too. Hubby and I had to have a deal that he never fed the cats in the morning (he got up and left way earlier than I did) so we would know whether they’d been fed or not. They looked at me so innocently and lied and got a second breakfast otherwise.

If a dog is awake, it is meal time. FOOD! Even when they poop, they smell it to see if it is good enough to eat again.
