I&#8217;ve had the boys and Freya since they were 8 weeks old and it&#8217;s killing me to have to give them up. (We&#8217;re keeping Edda, partially because her beautiful black fur makes her hard to re-home.)

Still, I&#8217;m pretty sad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt2\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt2\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 2 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Awesomely bad worship.<\/strong> One of my Confirmation kids from Minnesota posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithit.com\/five-best-worst-videos-on-internet\/\" title=\"The Top 5 Jaw-Dropping Christian Videos in the Universe\">this link<\/a> which has 6 horrific worship song videos.
