Dog(s) of the Day

Nearly every day at the Convention I've seen at least one dog. Usually it's a service dog in training, but sometimes it's a local dog being exercised by its owner.

The most frequent sighting has been Emily, who will be a service dog for a disabled veteran.



I don't recall this dog's name, something like Buster or Rover. One of the largest dogs I've ever seen.



Lizzie is also being trained. She's a sweetie.



Bishop Bruno of LA is honoured by having his diocesan Altar Guild's stuffed dog named after him. When not welcoming visitors to the Liturgical Art Exhibit, Bruno hangs out at the cathedral.



Rufus the whippet was rather bored by the Exhibition Hall.



I met Kobe yesterday, on my short walk from the Hilton to the Convention Center. He's an Akita. He also loved to pose for photographers!



Today's sighting was a little tiny white fluffy dog belonging to a hotel guest, in the lobby as I boarded an elevator. No time to get a picture.

Shout out to my own much-missed Ruth and Jewel--looking forward to our reunion on Saturday evening!

  1. It appears that General Convention has gone to the dogs. Enjoyed the pictures - it looks to me that Lizzie is a Poodle who forgot to get her tail docked.

    My thanks to all who have blogged it is the best way for many of us to keep in touch. One thing I have noted however is that none of the clergy deputies have added to the blog. I wonder why?
    Bishop Gene has done well keeping us in touch with the House of Bishops.

    Peace to all and a safe journey home

  2. Rev. Susan Buchanan is a clergy deputy! She's responsible for setting up this blog.

    Marjorie, people's level of busy-ness and blogging knowledge varies among our deputation. And some of our most experienced deputies have leadership responsibilities on their committees, or other associations that reduce their available time.

  3. Suzie = Rev. Susan Buchanan in case that wasn't clear!

  4. Please accept my apology for forgetting that Susan Buchanan had been among those posting blogs. I know you havve been busy, but it appears that I was hungry for even more news.

    Again thank you for your work for the church and for your sharing, and again I apologize for offending anyone.

    Peace
    Marjorie
