Blessing of the Animals October 1, 2008

Once again I braved the elements… (heat) to drag the doggies to the Blessing of the Animals at St. Stanislaus School.  (For my non-Catholic readers, this is a tradition in honor of St. Francis of Assisi who is the Patron Saint of Animals.) This has been a tradition in our family since the kids attended there… and I go back every year.  In the good old days… Leroy would haul a calf, heifer or even a cow down.  I remember we even took Sierra’s horse Petey one time.  This time was a little sad.  The enrollment at St. Stan’s has really dwindled in the last few years, I don’t really know most of the families anymore and the priest seemed to be in a hurry.  Oh well.  The dogs had fun even if I didn’t.

Excited for the trip!
