Blessssssing the little animalsssss

     Every October, some churches hold ceremonies to bless animals...pets, really, since I've never head of strays gathering for it.
     It's the day in honor of St. Francis Assisi, who was supposedly known for his love of critters.
     One priest in England has placed a limit on this year's events. NO SNAKES!
    Being a true snake-o-phobe, I heartily agree. He bases his decision on the bad rap serpents get
in the bible. I just don't trust 'em, and firmly believe they are deadly till proven otherwise.
