Our church has a Blessing of the Animals on St. Francis Day every year, and this year we decided to just take Kerrie. She behaved herself pretty well for a 1 1/2 year old adolescent, despite a cattle dog in the next pew enticing her to play, and the organist doing distracting things nearby. It was a lovely day for Kerrie!

I’ll be a good girl!
That cattle dog wants to play with me!
Hey! What’s going on up there?
Who is this guy? Does he have cookies?
The blessing; she was just a little headshy so Father Jim approached from the side.

And Kerrie emerged blessed for the year, and we are too with her sweet, enthusiastic, biddable self.
