| - That crazy St. Francis ~ Dr Doolittle of the Catholic church.
I'm pretty much a-religious, but seeing the Blessing of the Animals and Adoptathon event posted, and knowing that the Franciscans are the mellow cool hippies they are, I felt like this would be a great day, and it was.
The grounds are beautiful, but I didn't set foot indoors. Francis wouldn't have been indoors, either though! He'd be out with all the dogs, cats, and even rats waiting to be adopted into loving homes.
Lots of rescue orgs, breed-specific or not, were there with some wonderful and gorgeous animals. I'm glad to see so many actually went home with folks that day.
The best part was the sign above the area where they did the pet blessings, that was not even put up specifically for this event, but is simply a regular fixture on the front of an outdoor gazebo, which says: "All God's Creatures Are Great."
