My mother is having our dogs blessed.
I was in the hallway, drying my hands on a towel, when I heard my mother in my sister's bedroom, talking to her. Basically, she told her that she didn't know what to do, because she can't take both dogs to get blessed on her own, didn't want to leave one unblessed and knew I wouldn't help walk them to wherever it is she's taking them.
And she's correct: I won't help her pull my dogs into her perverted belief system. They're like little kids and won't know what's going on. I know it's just a silly ceremony and will have no bearings in reality, but for some reason, it feels really wrong to me and like she's dirtying our dogs.
