We enjoyed a wonderful service this past Saturday for the "Blessing of the Animals". A number of our furry friends made their presence known and some came via pictures but all in all both pets and their companions enjoyed themselves in this inaugural event. Pictures tend to convey the message better than words so here's a little bit of both:

 

 

We started to gather while looking for volunteers for a dip in the POOL!

 

 

 The Gang started arriving shortly before 11AM

 

 Word got out there was free food (Hot Dogs??)

 

 Some were small....

 

 

Others were bigger...

 

 Some concentrated on the crowd around them....

 

Others pulled their weight and then some!

 

All came and were Blessed!

 (Liz)

By the end, everything was just plain COOL!!
