It's BJ.  Big happenings for Mom.  Friday was her birthday, a big one, and she had an aliyah (a blessing at the Torah) in synagogue this morning.   She told me it was very nice and the rabbi gave her a beautiful blessing.

I wouldn't know, I couldn't go because I wasn't allowed in.  It is not fair.  I'm family and should been allowed to be there for her.  They let in two legged children who run around and make noise.  I would have sat quietly next to Mom and been very good.  Well, maybe I would have given a Woof, woof  after the blessing to show my approval.

Her synagogue doesn't have a service for the "blessing of the animals".  She said that even though we're Jewish she would take me to a church that has that SPECIAL day.  The priest would welcome me and give me a blessing.  Woof, woof.

    1. Thanks for the encouragement. That means I'm about 40. I would say younger, but sometimes I can't get up as quickly as I once was.
