We had the Blessing of the Animals last weekend, rather than the traditional first Saturday in October, as the local Humane Society was able to come out and offer micro-chipping for $30 for anyone who had not already had their pet “done unto”.
I really wanted to take Eddie, but as soon as he saw the carrier he did a disappearing act. A really determined cat make itself slightly smaller than a pocket-handkerchief, and there was no finding the little stinker.
The Squire said he wandered into the kitchen, cool as a cucumber, about two minutes after the dog and I had driven off.
Blazer, on the other hand is always up for a ride, especially if it involves coming to church, as the secretary always has a treat for him, and he is about as much in love with the rector as the rest of us are. Pats, tummy rubs, and puppy smooches are always nice. I had told him to “Come by me and sit”, but he got tired of sitting, so he laid down, and a few seconds after this was taken, he rolled over on his back.
