This week my church had a blessing of the animals at our outdoor chapel. Morey looked surprised to see other animals at church (and may have been a bit put out at having to share the attention he usually gets!). Most of the other attendees were dogs, including labs, goldens, several dachshunds, a chiahuahua in a grass skirt, a bloodhound, and several mixes, but there was also a hamster and some hermit crabs. Morey greeted them all very appropriately although when a giant wolfhound showed up he did join in barking with all the other dogs who were obviously saying "what on earth is that???!!!"
It was very hot and for some reason, Morey decided he was going to sit on the benches instead of on the ground with the rest of the dogs. As I have referenced before, his body awareness is not the best and while trying to lay down on the bench he fell off...and decided the ground was good enough for him for the rest of the service.
Morey's swimming buddies Maggie and Ace came and after everyone else had left we let the dogs off leash to do some running. There was a kiddie pool filled up as a water bowl, but the water-loving pups thought it still should be used as a pool. Maggie and Ace just stepped in it to cool their paws, but Morey dove into it. I wish I would have had a camera because he was absolutely hilarious! He looked like his goal was to splash all of the water out of the pool and he was quite successful at it. He would jump in it and roll around in the water, then get out and run a lap around the chapel, then make a flying leap back into the pool. After several repetitions, Morey just laid down in the pool, a huge doggie grin on his face. He obviously thought he was a pretty blessed dog at the moment! : )
