The veterinarian

One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000.00 in the offering plate. it happened again the next week. The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her. "Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000.00 a week in the offering plate," he stated. "Why yes," she replied. " Every week my son sends me money and I give a tithe to the church." The pastor replied, " that's wonderful. But $1000.00 is a lot; are you sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?" The elderly woman answered, " $10,000.00 a week" The pastor was amazed. " Your son is very successful. What does he do for a living?" " he is a veterinarian," she responded. " That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea that they made that much money," the pastor said. " Where does he practice?" The woman answered, " In Nevada, he has two cat houses, one in Elko and one by Laughlin."
