Meet Vinnie - Alberton Church`s New Mascot

When the Alberton Church website was first launched in 2009 we had what we believed was a unique feature - we had a Mascot. And, as far as we know, there is still no other church website in Canada with a Mascot. Our original Mascot was a beautiful dog named Paisan. Paisan was just a pup when we received permission from his owners Al Smith and Sil Ferrucci to adopt him as our Mascot.

Sadly, Paisan's life journey came to a peaceful end earlier this year. We mourned his death with Al and Sil. Paisan will always be our original Masot. However, we are now ready to introduce our new Mascot. We want you to meet Vinnie. Vinnie, still just a pup, was born on September 24, 2020, and is, as Paisan was, a treasured member of Al and Sil's home just outside Kingston, Ontario.

We will be sharing reports on Vinnie as he grows and matures - along with photos for you to admire. He is, as you can see, just about the cutest black pup you could find anywhere.

     

And, of course, Vinnie has been a good boy and is awaiting his first Christmas with excitement and expectation.

     


An Update: Jan. 2/21. Vinnie is doing well. Just back from the Vet after gettng some routine shots. He now weighs 24 pounds and will be 15 weeks old on January 7th.
