Bless Ewe—And The Dog, Cat & Chicken The Rev. Kenneth Brannon, rector of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, blesses a 4-H pet lamb Sunday during the annual Blessing of the Animals ceremony at the Sun Valley church. The Mary family of Hailey brought an array of pets, including Brock’s 14-week-old Brittany spaniel pup, Sage, center-left; Devra’s Siamese cat, Sammi TeTe, center; Audra's lamb, Snowball, and her chicken, Jemima. Approximately 100 people showed up to have their pets blessed. “It’s always one of our most special services because we can see people with their pets and how much they love them,” said Dick Brown, church choir director.
