Today was "The Blessing of the Animals" at our church, so I leashed Dixie Bell up, got her into the car and took her to an outdoor service.
We ran and ran through the adjoining cemetery with Miss Dixie only taking two little lay-me-downs to regroup her thoughts.
Only one other dog was there, Moses a gorgeous basset hound, who took a liking to Dixie; the feeling was mutual. (Thank goodness).
Once the blessing began, Dixie sat next to the keyboard and behaved beautifully.
The twenty or so parishoners all came over to Dixie at the end of the service and complimented her.
Now Dixie Bell is completely worn out and my sweat glands are still working overtime.
