I attended a vigil this past Sat. at a Humane Society in Columbus. Shelters send in names of animals that had been euthanized and the names were read. A few poems were read, then came a blessing of the animals. Now I've seen this done before, but they do it differently here. The pastor of a local church blesses each animal in attendance individually. He asks the pet's name and if there is any specific need. We took 3 animals from the Dayton shelter, one being the puppy I had fostered. We just asked that they all find homes, especially one dog, Brownie, who has been there for 6 months. It was a very moving evening. Ours wasn't as elaborate as yours was, but it was still very moving. The names of departed pets were sent in and often the hoomin was present, the RB poem was read, and then a blessing of the animals was prayed by the minister/pastor/priest. I didn't care what religion he was, he was there for the animals and that was enough. Pam S. |

Best of luck to Mike on his job interview.
Sam, Ramona, and the furry ones. "Tanada" wrote in message ... Tanada wrote: The Haven, our local no-kill pet shelter is having a candlelight vigil for homeless and lost pets. I'm getting ready to head out the door now. Will fill you in later. Pam S. Sorry, just got back from the vigil. It was for all the pets gone to the bridge in the last year. I thought about the groups RB pets while they were reading the names, and wasn't the only one to cry when they were reading the Rainbow Bridge poem. I didn't win anything at the raffle, donated a couple of bags of cat food and volunteered my hubby, the boys, and time tomorrow. We're getting back into volunteer mode. Please wish Mike LUCK!!!! He has a job interview at one of our local grocery stores tomorrow. I definitely have to have him on the road early in the am. Please purr and think job success thoughts for him tomorrow. Pam S. |
