Happy Easter!

Growing up in a family with 4 girls, Easter always involved pretty dresses and sometimes Easter hats. When I had Jessie, my first service dog, this tradition was extended to her and she would wear a bonnet to church on Easter (even though that was more than 5 years ago there is still a woman at my home church who talks about how cute Jessie looked in her Easter bonnet).

I didn't think it was appropriate to dress Morey in a bonnet so this Easter he wore his collar and bowtie to church. He hasn't worn it since the wedding we went to almost two years ago and I figured Easter was a good occasion for him to be a little more formal.

Why miss a chance for a photo op when we're both dressed up?

Naturally, we got lots of requests for pictures of Morey. Kathy is our choir director and she has become a very dear friend to Morey and me. In this picture he was getting ready to lick her face!.

 

Our church has an Easter Egg hunt for the kids between worship services. I figured that event would be a good time to break out the bunny ears! Morey doesn't even seem to notice his collar/tie but the bunny ears are not his favorite. He was a good sport about it though and appreciate the extra attention it got him!

 

After church we were invited to Easter dinner by a family from church. Morey and I had been to their house before to introduce him to their dogs (Lucy and Morey had gotten along well, but the older dog, Princess, did not approve of Morey being in her house). Morey remembered their house and was very excited when he went in. They had put their dogs away since there would be so many extra people in the house and Morey could hear them barking. He was slightly confused when I put down his blanket and told him "bed". He clearly thought he was going to get to play and didn't understand why he was being put in "time out". Poor Morey!!

 

When we got back home we opened the Easter package that had been sent by "grandma". There were Easter treats for me, but there was also a treat bag filled with Easter eggs for Morey. He liked the new bunny toy he got but was even more interested in the contents of the eggs. Since it was Easter I let him try one of each of the treats which he thoroughly enjoyed.

 

And with that, Morey thought the day ended much better than it began!
