Duke's Blessing Video/Dog Park Pics

There was a pet blessing Saturday at the dog park near where Kay lives. She and I took Duke and Kiara. I've always wanted to take Duke but our local newspaper always had it in the paper after it had already occured. I thought it was pretty special. Here's the video. We got a kick out of Duke at the very end when he was sprinkled with the holy water. I didn't get it on tape but the Father said "They've all got a little devil in them." Thought that was hilarious. We did a ton of Halloween pics last night but I'm going to wait until closer to Halloween to post them. Plus, got to work tomorrow and I started uploading all this too late. So, I'm putting one pic here. I'm going to make a signature out of it after a while but Kay made me a really cool one so I'll be using it for a while first. For the pic, it's going to say: Even devils get tired.

They gave out a certificate to each animal, also. I'm using the attachment thing for it so I won't have to resize it. On with the pics. Here's an adorable dog that was also at the pet blessing.

Here's some stonework at the entrance to the dog park. I think it would make a good background for a signature.

These dogs played almost non stop. I can't believe I was lucky enough to get this pic. I just love it!

Here's Duke and a feisty Cocker Spaniel male that was trying to "make it" with just about every dog. Made Duke look not so bad going after Simba.

Wow! Great pics! I never heard of a dog blessing... thats really cool! I want to have Nicki blessed now too! Duke is such a handsome gentleman!

How precious Val:) Guess Duke could have done without the "dunking" though:D We have an annual Blessing of the Animals here too. It's so sweet to see all the creatures waiting for to be blessed:) Love your new siggy, Duke, you devil you:D

Awww!!!! That must have been so fun :) Duke is a cutie and so is Kiki, I haven't watched the vids yet but I bet they are really cute too. :)

How sweet, Valerie and Duke. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to participate in the dog blessings. Duke's certificate is really special, too.

Tell Duke he should be glad it wasn't a Baptist blessing, he would have to have been submerged! LOL

Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing, I love seeing pictures and hearing about Duke:D

Both of those videos were adorable!

I wish we had something like that over in my neck of the woods..

The pictures were GREAT too! All of the dogs were gorgeous!

Thanks, faithful buddies, both old and new. Glad you liked them.

Even though I got to see them... I wanted to tell you I loved them!

I posted some of mine last night but decided to delete it.


Anyways, I had lots of fun. Does your mom like the Christmas ball? :)


Thought i'd attach this one that you took... it's too cute not to share!

:) All those pictures are precious Val & Kay. Vids were great, Simba is such a handsome boy and what strong arms to dig such holes :pl. Poor Duke didn't like that last little bit did he?:D

Well Val it sounds like you had a nice day. Such cute pictures of all of the doggies and the video of Dukes blessing was too cute. I don't think he wanted much to do with that guy after he splashed the water on him;)
Can't wait to meet that sweet guy of yours (and of course you too!).

Sorry I'm a bit late in seeing these, I just started working on a new account with my work and I've been swamped! Anyway, I had to watch that video a few times, that was too precious. Duke looks like he's enjoying his attention and then he gives that man a look of disbelief at how rude he was to sprinkle water on him LOL. The pictures were wonderful too, love the pic Kay attached of those three, what a wonderful shot!
