This must be turning into a nationwide thing because I heard on the news last night that there was a church in or around Chicago that offered the pet blessings also. I think it's neat that the churches do this.

When we still had our motorcycles, there was one ride that we always did in the beginning of the year where they did a bike blessing. I have no idea who the guy was who did the blessing - if he was a real reverend or preacher or whatever - but we would hold hands and our other hands were on the bike, sort of to make the "flow" thing happen. We're not overly religious, but knowing that motorcycle riding is dangerous, we always made a point to attend this particular ride.

Anyway, now that I'm waaayyy off topic, Don Juan, what a special boy you are to have been the only one to be let out of your carrier.
