Whose that guy dancing with Lucy? Saturday - Joeten Kiyu Library:
On Saturday, PAWS read to youngsters at the Joeten Kiyu Library at 10:30 and at 1:30. What a great time! Children between the ages of 3-9 joined us for story time, followed by some coloring book/responsible pet ownership exercises. Thank you, Rose Callier for doing both readings and bringing Wyatt, our AKC Canine friend. I've never seen a dog behave so well.

Sunday - Blessing of the Animals:
Then on Sunday, Mt. Carmel Catholic Church and PAWS celebrated Saipan's first Blessing of the Animals in recognition of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. About 30 dogs, 4 cats, and a fish were brought to the church to receive a blessing by Father Ryan Jimenez. Among the dogs that were present at the blessing was none other than Father Ryan's own pouch - Pico - a chocolate lab with a lot of energy.
