    I just have to comment again - you are so wonderful to add blessings for so many other animals! Every creature is special, and the ones who keep us company all deserve a prayer. The only pets who are still missing are iguanas, turtles and other reptiles. . . I bet you can find blessings for them, too. What a fantastic idea, thank you so much.

    What a lovely, unusual post - not exactly a "recipe," but a sweet way to honor and cherish our pets. I especially love the kitty blessing, invoking the ancient Egyptian cat-goddess. (Do you know a blessing for creepy-crawlie pets? I have a friend who keeps pet tarantulas, and he would be thrilled if I could find him a prayer for his beloved eight-legged, much-misunderstood babies.)
