PLANTATION, Fla.  - "All dogs may go to heaven, but not all dogs go to church. Saint Benedict's  Episcopal Church  in Plantation has welcomed dogs to its Saturday service for the past 10 years. The Sun Sentinel reported Wednesday that the service targets dog owners who want to avoid leaving their companions at home while they worship. The rector of the church, Father Albert Cutie, questions if one can "really pray and leave a loved one behind." Cutie said many of the church's patrons live alone, and a pet can often become their closest family member. He said the attending dogs are quiet, except when they meet after Holy Communion. An animal blessing ceremony is also held each year at the church, whose motto is "all are welcome." Source

"For good reason, many golf courses in Florida warn players to steer clear of alligators that may be lurking in the midst. As luck would have it though, a player hitting the links in Bonita Springs this past weekend owes a bit of gratitude to one particular razor-toothed reptile there, after it snatched a ball that was headed into the water in mid-air and spared her from a hazard penalty. During a couples tournament at the Bonita National Golf Club on Saturday, Joanne Sadowsky went to tee off at the second hole, when she shanked the ball to the right, sending it almost certainly into one of the course's lakes. But in a surreal moment reminiscent of   that  Happy Gilmore  scene , the ball headed directly toward an alligator lurking on the edge of the water, and it caught the light pink ball in mid-air,   according to the   Naples Daily News . She may have technically lost the ball, but because it was an outside interference, she didn't get penalized for whacking...

Abuse is no laughing matter, especially abuse by greasy slice. A FloriDuh man was arrested for domestic battery after   his mom told him to leave her house, he reportedly told her she'd have to call the cops to get him to leave, and when she reached for her phone, he threw a slice of pizza at her. The slice hit her in the stomach, according to police. What happened next isn't completely known (did she pick the slice up and eat it or did she throw back at him?) but we do know the man was arrested and won't be eating pizza anytime soon. He'll have to rely on jail-time jello for future fights. #StayWeirdFlorida Source
