I'm bumping up this old thread because the church right by my house had a service yesterday that was aimed at everyone - adults, children, the elderly and people were invited to bring their animals for a blessing. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals and the environment, so the focus of the service was about caring for all of God's creation. last weekend they had a big yard sale in their parking lot and the weather was perfect. The article in the newspaper talked about ways of being a caretaker to the world around you - recycling, volunteering for whatever organizations appeal to you, using up what you have instead of buying more, and helping others to do the same.

So ... beloved Pet Talk dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and all other creatures -- Here's to you! Phred and Gini, please give my Cassie and all the other RB pets some big hugs for me.
