Last week, I hauled little Liam the lamb to Vacation Bible School, with two of his friends, Smokey the French Angora bunny, and Domino the chicken. Smokey and Domino are old pros at VBS, having attended for several years now. The 40 children took turns petting the critters. I was very glad that no one was bitten, pecked, or stepped on, including the kids. Smokey, who is a gorgeous, long-haired white bunny (with some grey on his back), was horrified when some of the children were eating drippy popcicles and attempted to pet him. I had to direct the children to wash their hands first. Domino the chicken made a break for it, when no one was looking, and I had to retrieve her out of the bushes. Little Liam was very well-behaved, and allowed all the children to pet him. It was a fun day, although a little hot. We stayed under the shade of a tree as much as possible. I was dressed as an authentic shepherdess, with my shepherd’s crook and straw hat.
