blessings of the Animals

Recently we attended a Blessing of the Animals at a local church in celebration of the Feats of St Francis of Assisi. St Francis of Assisi is the Patron saint of Animals, Birds and environmentalists. He was also a promoter of Peace, Simplicity and Harmony. On or around Oct 4ths every year, some churches will have Blessings of Animals in honor of St Francis. These are some pictures of my puppy at the Blessing! (he is a little devil so I figured it couldnt hurt to take him haha)

  1. Aw, but he's such a cutie. Have you done the crate thing? It works wonders on my tiny doggie.
