Yesterday I paid a pre-surgical pastoral call on a cat. Pre-surgical calls are something I did a lot of as a hospital chaplain, somewhat fewer as a parish pastor, but this is the first time the call-ee was feline. One of our second graders’ cats is having surgery today. She (the girl, not the cat) was a little nervous about it.
The thing I love most about my job is that it’s never the same from day to day.
Anyone else done anything out-of-the ordinary at work this week?

*giggle* That's wonderful! *hopes the kitty makes it through surgery okay*
I've been working out at the farm this week. I've never harvested corn before -- its quite some work! Actually, I wasn't doing the harvesting, my coworker was. I was measuring plot length and cleaning up the corn that had just fallen over and not made it into the chopper. I'm very glad these days are few and far between!

Last year, when I was working at the flower shop, I had to unpack a bunch of boxes of Christmas decorations that had been stored up in someone's barn all year.
In the process, I found no less than 27 dead bats. As to why they felt it necessary to crawl into a fake tree and die, I'll never know, but I was washing my hands every 8 minutes, and ended up scrubbing them raw. Awful stuff.

How sweet. Cats need pastoral care too, as do the little girls who own cats that are going to have surgery. Posts: 2454 | Registered: Jan 2003

My favorite pre-lovefest BobandDana moment was when Dana posted fluff to bump Bob's landmark on to the second page.

That is so cool, Dana...I remember the day the senior pastor baptised Olivia's doll after a service. These things mean so much to the little ones.
