Yesterday was the annual Blessing of the Animals at the Unitarian fellowship we belong to. We took our chow, Anele and Lily. Anele was beautifully behaved, sitting quietly and patiently withstanding all the petting.
Lily, on the other hand, acted like the spawn of Satan!

She was so excited she began what we lovingly refer to as her "seizures". So many animals to meet...she couldn't contain herself. And when it was her turn for a blessing she tried to jump out of my arms to kiss the minister. Was I embarrassed? Let me think...........YESSSSS! Of course everyone got a good laugh and thought she was adorable.
She did make some friends though. A Great Dane whose head was bigger than her entire body and...ready for this?...two GOATS! It was quite an exciting day.
Note from Lily: Bless me father, for I have sinned....
