We took Spirit up to our church this morning to get blessed.  There was a huge turnout.. tons of dogs, cats, bunnies and even a chicken!  Of course two trains went by 400 yards away, and fire trucks or police cars with sirens went by 3 separate times. Spirit was shakin' in her boots, but I think all the other dogs around acting like it was no big deal was very helpful. The second train she wasn't nearly as afraid, and even started sniffing the ground for the bits of donuts people had dropped.  After the blessing I took Spirit over to the park for the kids and we played around on the 25ft long line. Good fun!
