We had the honor to attend a service for St. Frances of Assissi at St. Josephs! We were excited that many of our animals were to be blessed. So, as it came time, we were to walk our animals down the middle aisle of the church behind Mr. and Mrs. “Noah”. While waiting in the back of the church we were admiring the great decorations that were put on the floors and signs that were hung showing people where to go. Well, Laddie (the goat) was with us that day, and liked the decorations too! He liked them enough that he began eating them!!! I would have been able to stop him too, if it wasn't for the 4 bunnies and 2 chickens I had in my hands! So, that night all were blessed and Laddie had a belly full of decorations!- Arinee
