Today The Typist took me on a ride! to go get blessed! (It was just us girls. The Alpha stayed home with The Boy, because the thumb-havers thought it might be too much for all of us if The Boy went.)
We rode for a while, and when we got to the church I helped by unbuckling my harness myself. It wasn't our church, it was another church a little further away, where The Typist knows some thumb-havers. She said hi to people while I said hi to people and dogs.
After a while we all got quiet and sat in a circle in the parking lot. Pastor Katherine read a Bible story about how it isn't good for thumb-havers to be alone, and that's why God made me and all the other dogs (and cats!) who were there. After that, the thumb-havers all said a prayer together and Pastor Katherine went around the circle and blessed every one of us by name! She also asked God to heal my liver.
Then I got to sniff some more dogs and thumb-havers before we got back in the car for another ride. (I've noticed that rides usually come two at a time.)
I was very, very good when I went to get blessed. I didn't show my teeth to any of the other dogs (and The Typist didn't let me get close enough to the cats to even try). I politely sniffed other dogs and less-politely jumped up and kissed lots of thumb-havers. And there was this one miniature hot dog who freaked me out a little bit, but I was even nice to her.
I highly recommend going to get blessed! Maybe next time they'll take The Boy, too. Though The Alpha says he may need an exorcism instead of a blessing. (I'm not sure what that means.)

Aw, Cub, I'm feeling a little jealous. I want to be blessed, too.
I hope God heals your liver (whatever that is).
Purrrrrs,
Spooky

Love ya and we're still praying!

I'm glad you got a blessing, because you are one!
That sounds really nice. Mama says she wishes she knew a church around here that would do that. We are praying for your liver, too.
Love,
Amie
P.S. I am sad today because Mama wrapped my foot up so that I couldn't lick it anymore. She thinks I'm pouting, and maybe I am. Please pray that I will get over wanting to lick my foot, and that it will get well.
Thank you, Amie. I hope your foot gets better soon! The Boy has had to have his foot wrapped up before. (Maybe it's a Blue Heeler thing...no, wait, I think I've had it done before, myself.)
Prayers for you, too!

That is so cool! I bet you acted really nice.
Wow. You got blessed? That's pretty nice. But I don't think I would go. I don't like cars. They make me go -- uh -- well, you know -- both ends go and then it's stinky and messy and Giver of Greenies doesn't like it either.
But I really, really hope you are better! Even if you are an og-day.

I'm glad to hear that you were good at the blessing. Praying that your liver gets well.
Dear Cub,
I am Sorry about Your Liver. I ate Liver but it is not Dog Liver, so it is O.K.
Have you Tried Gravy?? It is Most Efficacious. I looked that word up.
I will ask the Blessed Laika to Put In a Good Word for you.
Love and Gravy,

Hey guess what? I've been blessed too. Lindy gives me a blessing every day but once a year I go to my church and somebody dressed up like Jesus gives me a blessing and a treat too! I always wear a real nice outfit and I sit nicely for the blessing. I keep my eyes open though... just in case of anything. I've been blessed twice that way. It's really really cool.
Love,
Rowan
