Liturgy for the Death of a Pet

Lee Shaw's resolution requesting the development of a liturgy for the death of a companion animal was heard in committee this morning. Several people spoke passionately about the love people have for their pets, service animals, and therapy animals.


Lee, of course, spoke on behalf of the resolution, and Brad Wirth also chimed in. Remember what a good preacher he was? Several clergy spoke in favor, saying this is a liturgy they would use often.


Lee had run into a friend that was training a new therapy animal, and he asked Toby and her human to come as a visual representation of the importance of these creatures. The resolution has not yet been voted out of committee, but we have our paws crossed.
