Yesterday was the annual blessing of the pets at our church. We took Sunny and Kismet, because they could definitely use a little extra blessing. Couldn't we all? We met my mom there and her two pups...Rosie and Tidbit, too.
It turned out to be an all-canine crowd. Kismet barked along as we sang a hymn and Sunny was a bit overwhelmed.
But, amazingly, as Father walked around blessing them each with holy water, they were totally attentive and calm. It was very sweet.
I think our old gal, Kismet needed this blessing most of all. She's not been feeling like herself lately and is scheduled to see the vet this week. Sweet girl is 13 years old.
One of her very favorite things to do has always been riding in the car with her head out the window. She doesn't have the strength these days to keep her head out the window, so she really loved it when Katie held her in her lap for this afternoon treat on our way home from church.
