The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 


Periwinkle snoozed on her cozy blankie as she listened to the rain.  A storm was coming, and she was glad she and Stinky had their Adventure on Saturday so they wouldn't have to miss it this week.  She smiled as she remembered their time together.

Saturday morning Periwinkle got up early in anticipation of Stinky's arrival.  She didn't have to wait long before the Teleportation Tunnel rumbled and the familiar WOOSH sent Stinky out of the Tunnel and into her waiting paws.  After some whisker kissing, paw patting and catching up, Stinky asked what the plan was.  Periwinkle said they were staying close to her house and going to her Mom's Church for the Blessing of the Pets.  Stinky was happy to hear that since they only got to do a virtual blessing the previous year.  The tabbies hopped into her Moms car for the short trip to the Church.  They also took Periwinkle's fursib Reesie with them.  Periwinkle explained that Noelle did not like traveling in the car so she would get a virtual blessing and so would Stinky's fursib Sawyer.


They arrived early and took some time to visit with the woofies that were waiting to be blessed.  


They introduced themselves to the priest who was happy to see them.

Periwinkle's Mom put photos of Sawyer, Noelle and their woofie friend Bear on Reesie's PTU so they could all get blessings too. 


Soon it was time for the Blessing to begin.  Periwinkle's Mom Sharon took a video.



Reesie was the first to receive a Blessing.

They all got specially blessed medals too. 


After they got blessed, they walked around to meet the other pets.  There was only one cat, Noodle.


The woofies were very friendly. 

 They were impurressed with how well-behaved everyone was.

When everyone was finished, they hopped back into Periwinkle's Moms' car to head back to her house.  They were both tired and hungry so Periwinkle's Mom made them a snack and they took a quick nap holding paws.  Soon it was time for Stinky to head home.  He told Periwinkle he hoped Milton would stay away from them and that they would all be safe.  Periwinkle said her Mom had stocked up on food for them and that she would keep him informed on the storm.  Periwinkle reminded him to take Sawyer's medal with him. With a whisker kiss he entered the Teleportation Tunnel and headed home.  Periwinkle went to find Noelle to tell her what she missed and to give her the medal they got.

It's always such a nice celebration. At our church, we actually do a blessing during Mardi Gras! There's a dog parade and it passes in front of our church, one of the pastors stands out there under a pop-up awning and blesses any pet coming by whose parent wants it.

That is so nice you two. We used to have a priest that came to our home on blessing day. He got promoted and the new priest is a dud.

Sawyer and Mom are so grateful that P&S got to attend the blessing and that Sawyer got a blessing and a medal. He really needs all the help he can get. Mom is especially happy that Stinky behaved himself. We really wish they would have blessings for pets around here. There was one a long time ago, and Mom and Dad took Fiona, as she was coming down to her last days with us. Love to all.

Chaplin: "That looks like a very successful Blessing of the Animals! Better than the one Dennis told us about where they sprinkled holy water on Tucker and he burst into flames."
Charlee: "I think Dennis was exaggerating."
Chaplin: "I'm not so sure ..."
