Today is the Feast of St Francis of Assisi (click here) and our church, St Joseph's, (and Gracie's school) had a blessing service for our pets.
Needless to say, when I heard about it I was going to get Auggie there for a blessing. Not because he needed it but because he deserved it. He is by far the kindest, most loving, affectionate animal you have ever met. Now before you all think I am completly off my rocker...try to understand that Auggie is not just a pet to me or our family..he is a member of our family. Father Steve officiated a breif but touching service for all the animals. He reminded us all that God created all animals and that He entrusted us to take care of them. He also reminded us how are pets are always there for us especially in trying times. Auggie is always there for our family. Most days he sits quietly waiting for a turn to get pet or go for a walk, he guards our home and our children and he is always there to give a kiss.
I am very thankful for my Auggie Doggie and I love him with all my heart...he is truly a part of me, not just a part of my life, a part of me! I love you LuLu...thanks for being YOU!

Okay...while trying to read this I had to chase Bogey out from under the bed THREE times!!! We are all trying to fall in love with him...and hopefully he'll outgrow this huge need to sneak things away from us.
I'm glad Auggie is such a good dog! He's going to always be a part of Gracie and MJJ's childhood memories.
Jack adores Bogey...it's the rest of us that are trying to understand why he's such a sneaky thief!
