Photobucket


This Saturday, Molly and I get to go to church with Moms and Dad!! This Sunday we are celebrating the Feast of St. Francis. Moms and Dad go to this efur year. Shingo has been and received his blessing and so has Jack. So it's my and Molly's turn this year. Here are some pictures of the pet blessing from past years. There's some from 2005 with our brother Bear (a schipperke) that crossed the rainbow bridge.

  3. We think there is a church around here that has that special service too. We need to talk to Mom about finding out where and when. We sure could use some blessings.

    Happy weekend.

  7. That's so cool you get to go to your mom and dad's church! I think my mom's church is doing something soon too, but mom said I can't go because I'm not always nice to the other doggies. That's okay, I know I am so blessed to have my mom and my new home! Have fun dudes!

    Woof!

  11. Hello there dear Indiana, Shingo & Molly,

    Our hooman Grandpa, Francisco, was named after St. Francis for his barkday is 4 Oct. He has gone over the rainbow bridge so we never got to meet him but we were told that he really loved furry pets like us.

    Piappies Mom was planning to take us to a Pet Blessing too! We would all want to go but most probably, the Wai-Pups --- Wai-Max and Wai-Pai would be chosen reps for the Piappies.

    Do post photos please. Weeeee

    Love,
    Piappies Fudgie, Princess, Frappie, Mocha, Sugar, Wai-Pai & Wai-Max

  13. Hi Cheryl,
    I wish I could take my dogs to the blessings of the pets at my Church, but that would be absolute CHAOS! Sounds like you had fun though. Thanks SO much for becoming one of my newest followers. I will be following yours as well :-)
