Karen and Tats, we all live in MA and Daisy would love to meet you all, especially Star, her new online pal As for baptizing, Daisy is blessed every year on the Feast of St. Francis of Asisi. Our church holds a Blessing of the Animals day, open for all animals. My best friend and neighbor takes her dog Moe (Daisy's boyfriend) and we walk there together. There are all kinds of animals there! Horses, chickens, dogs, cats, gerbils, turtles, goldfish, guinea pigs, birds, and I myself have brought hamsters and hermit crabs Anyway, it's a beautiful service, and the priest comes around and puts holy water on every animal and says a prayer. Daisy, being the mascot for CCD, goes first up in front of everyone and she is a good pup when she gets splashed even though she hates water She doesn't even freak out at the cats. When we get home, maybe it's all in my head but she is better behaved! What a little angel! I would suggest this blessing for anyone in any religion. Make your dog a holy dog
