The annual Blessing of the Animals (held on the Sunday closest to the Feast of St. Francis) was yesterday afternoon. The local Lutheran pastor and I met in Mellon park with forty two dogs and a solitary (and somewhat understandably nervous) cat and over sixty people for the service. This is me with a West Highland Terrier named "Bonnie". (I gotta get a different hat.)

Blessing of the Animals took on a different tone for me, the first Canine Bishop in the Episcopal Church. I assumed (along with +rowan, +airedale, and +maya) the the blessing of the animals was for the 4 of us to bless the people. Well, perhaps it works both ways. Blessings on you Father Simons, and on Bonnie.
