An Irish Tail

Old Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company.

One sad day, the dog died and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father Patrick, my dog is dead. Could ya' be sayin' a mass for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not.  We cannot be havin' services for an animal in the church. But there is a denomination down the lane and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do somethin' for the creature."

Old Muldoon replied, "Bless you father, I'll go right away. Do ya' think $5000 is enough to pay for the service?"

"Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus!” Father Patrick exclaimed. “Why didn't ya' tell me the dog was Catholic?"
