Last Saturday afternoon, The Hubby and I loaded Jon Farleigh and Dewi into the car and made our way to the community-wide Blessing of the Animals at our local Presbyterian church. We were not the only ones who had the same idea:
In fact, for a sunny Saturday afternoon during prime holiday shopping season, there was great canine* representation.
Large and small
Young and old
Stinky and mostly not
Clothed and naked :)
From many walks of life.
Definitely blessings.
The little doo doo heads. :)
*One family brought their cat. Our three (cats) did everyone a favor and participated by proxy.
This looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh. my. dog. That Dobie pup is the bomb! Eegad, look at his feet!
I'm a big sucker for the old dogs, too. And of course, the too cute Corgis. ;)
God Bless us Everyone!
ReplyDeleteYou had some good company there!
Great photostory!
You got some fabulous pictures! Just love them all!
ReplyDeleteThat's really neat, great pics too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day! Lots of cute fur kids :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great outing to me! I wish we had more things like that here where we could take the dogs along!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Doxies represented :) Looks like you had a chance to sniff lots of doggie friends.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I am not very religious but I can get behind attending any event with so many gorgeous dogs. Thanks for sharing the photos!
ReplyDelete@All - They are all beautiful, aren't they?! It was a blast just watching everyone interact.
ReplyDelete@Leslie - I just want to eat that little Dobie up! He just stood there like that through the whole thing. :)
@Houndstooth - We have a dog mall, a few festivals and services like this, but barely any off-leash areas in the whole city. I guess it's better than nothing, though. :)
