Beautiful Cairn! They have a blessing every spring for animals at St. Benedicts in my town. I keep meaning to take Yoda and always forget. I'm hoping this is the year.

Execellent photo and such a perfect time to share it. My church, St. James Episcopal also has a "Blessing of the animals" each October. We do it outside in the Labyrinth and there are treats for all of the animals and their humans. It is really quite a lovely affair. Duffy has been once, and this year both Duffy and Mickey will go.

Thank you for the post...it was most touching and very appropriate at this sad time in the Catholic Church
