Borrowed Pets

Yesterday was "Take your pet to Church" day.  The service was held outside on the lawn, and it was a glorious day to be outside, on lawn chairs, with your pet.

In typical Griswald fashion, a dog was borrowed for Kenzie.  Holly picked up Java about 10:00 from Jobe.  Somehow, walking the dog to church came up.  Kenzie was all over that bleeting that "he needed some fwesh air".  Kaida, in typical Kaida fashion, could see the dog yawning and thought all should ride to church (not into exercise so much, our Kaida).  Off to church they walked.

I met them with the van at the church, in plenty of time, and got us all set up in our lawn chairs with the girls, their mother and the dog.  There were no other pets there, but a real variety of dogs.  Some were very large, most were pretty small and one was a dog who had been blind all of his life but after some serious surgery, he could see. I don't think he was all that impressed with what there was to see, as he growled at everything that came near him.  But it was really a lovely thing, to be outside worshiping, praying and singing on one of the most beautiful days we have had in a long time.  The dog was well behaved.  The girls were too - and off they went to Sunday school. 

When it came time to bless the dogs, Holly thought, seeing as it wasn't even her dog, she would just sit this part out.  Java was having none of that and trotted off to receive the blessing to which he was entitled.  Holly stumbled along behind. 

All in all it was a wonderful thing to do on a Sunday morning.  Too bad it had to be followed by a crappy Riders loss.  Guess I should have included them in my prayers.
