Bless All Creatures
Share
We believe not only that your pet IS family but that all creatures are sacred. Offering pet blessings to our beloved creatures.
*Our human children are baptized, christened, bar mitzvahed and blessed. Our pets are very much a part of our lives. Let us honor their sacred spirits and formally name them as the family members that they are.
*A pet's passing can be a traumatic and deeply sad time in our lives. We always remember our "first" -- the childhood dog or the first cat we owned as an adult. Losing this precious family

Pandemic? Bah! Humbug! We are still doing the Annual Blessing Of The Animals on January 1st!!!
This year we'll be virtual. Stay tuned for more details! And if you are interested in participating, shoot me a direct message with your email address so I can invite you via Zoom.
Bonus: This year you can bring your cats, ferrets, chickens, turtles, fish and parakeets!
Hello and Happy Holidays!!!! I'm dropping in to say hello and to see what you think about an idea:
I am the one who does the Annual Blessing Of The Animals every January 1st. The last two years I did it at the Pavilion by the Dog Park at GHDP. Because of Covid and the pandemic, I am not traveling to VA this winter. Utterly breaks my heart, but safety first!
Would you be willing and interested in attending a Blessing of the Animals on 01/01/2021 via Zoom, hosted by me? Please let me know!
I miss Staunton so much this season!!
