One Sunday after the service, while counting the collection money, the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000.00.  The next Sunday, he found another pink envelope containing $1,000.00.

The following Sunday, he watched closely as the offering was collected, and saw an elderly woman, whom he did not recognize, put a distinctive pink envelope on the collection plate.   

After the service, the Pastor approached the woman. "Excuse me, but I could not help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate."

"Why yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church."

The pastor replied, "That's wonderful, but $1,000.00 is a lot of money.  Are you sure that you can afford this?  How much does he send you?"

The elderly woman replied, "$10,000.00 a week and the church gets 10%."

The pastor was amazed. "Your son must be very successful. What does he do for a living?"

"He is a veterinarian." she answered.

"That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money." the pastor said. "Where does he practice?"

The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada.  He has two cat houses. One in Las Vegas, and one in  Reno."
