Every year our traveling minister does a blessing of the pets for the animals of Monhegan. I never took Maya in the three years I had her and then she died and broke my heart. I figure I should play it safe with Millie and get her blessed!
The church was set up very sweetly... with little animals figurines on all of the pews.
And animal themed hymns.
Mille and I sat up front. She seemed pretty comfortable.
Auntie Baba came with us. She is always good morale support. She would always bring Maya's predecessor, Mandy to the blessing of the pets. I think we missed Mandy and Maya a lot on this particular day.
But we were happy to have Millie with us.
Hanging out under the pew.
Getting some love from a friend in the back pew.
Ut oh. Classic church service yawn.
There were candles we could light in honor of pets that are no longer with us. Of course, we lit one for Mandy and Maya.
Time for the blessing.
As soon as she was blessed she jumped on the pew and struck the "Mandy Hitchcock" pose.
Then she was VERY attentive for the rest of the service.
I am pretty sure Millie enjoyed the whole blessing process.
Getting blessed sure does take a lot out of a pup.
