Worshipful wagging

"For he purrs in thankfulness, when God tells him he's a good Cat.

For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon."

from Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart regarding his cat Jeoffry

"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."

St. Francis of Assisi

Zoe received a blessing this past week at Anna Grace's school among all the other dogs and lizards and turtles and hamsters and even some animals of the stuffed variety on Blessing of the Animals Day.    

She's such a good little puppy and I often think about how she praises God by just wagging her tail and pouncing and doing all the things she was made to do.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."  Psalm 150:6


Good dog.
