Animal Spirituality Weekly Link List

I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I'd add a few blogs, articles, and photos I have come across. Love the chihuahua photo!

  • Animal Spirituality - Naha, Japan: Conan, a male chihuahua, mimics Buddhist priest Joei Yoshikuni at Jigenin temple. Visitor numbers at a Buddhist temple in Japan have increased by 30 per cent since a praying dog began attending daily prayers. ...

  • Dressage in the Fourth Dimension: 2009 Clinics and Workshops - This initiative will focus on animal spirituality and the transformational aspects of the horse-human relationship.

Olvera Street's Blessing of the Animals & Other Musings

I don't usually cross post but thought you might be interested in this...

Leaving town for a few days always takes its toll as I try and catch up. I have the video and photos now downloaded for you but still have to edit and get them up for you. I did post a short teaser over at http://www.arkanimals.com if you want to read and take a quick look.

In the meantime, here is a nice slideshow by one of the photographers who was next to me at the blessing of the animals. If you watch, you can see me in my safari hat in the picture the photographer took behind Cardinal Mahony.

I saw my buddy from last year--she just rescued a new dog and was very excited.

Also, I got to view the Haute Dog parade on Sunday. Sid, the great Queensland Heeler was noticeably absent--his mom shared that he passed away from complications from liver cancer only a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to dig out some photos for her--she and Shellie won one of the award for their Mardis Gras Chicken and his Chick...giving the year supply of dog food to a charity.

Stay tuned for the video and photos--I promise to get them to you!
