Pet Prayers and Blessings: Ceremonies and Celebrations to Share with the Animals You Love

At least 65% of all American homes include pets, and many owners have begun to recognize the divine nature of all "creatures great and small." This unique collection of blessings specifically addresses the spiritual needs of those modern-day pet owners . Besides offering original prayers and adaptations of classics, it explains how to lead rituals and celebrations, and provides advice on involving pets in spiritual events, including those conducted by the clergy. Although the work honors many faiths, it is non-denominational and non-religious, and encompasses elements from many cultures and traditions. There are healing prayers for ailing animals, ceremonies for special occasions (such as the arrival of a new pet), and blessings for a long and happy life with your animal companion.Brockway, Laurie Sue is the author of 'Pet Prayers and Blessings: Ceremonies and Celebrations to Share with the Animals You Love', published 2008 under ISBN 9781402741524 and ISBN 1402741529.
