Granny's gone and done it again

poor Beth. If only dogs had aposable thumbs.

She has gotten VERY good at it in under 4 weeks. And hasn't lost any interest in the pups which is wonderful Abby at this stage was usually like or getting to the point of "go away little kid your bothering me"

I don't kiss the cross to me personally it smacks to much of idolitary.

The Veneration of the Cross In the seventh century, the Church in Rome adopted the practice of Adoration of the Cross from the Church in Jerusalem, where a fragment of wood believed to be the Lord's cross had been venerated every year on Good Friday since the fourth century
 
and yet more explanation

If you have a crucifix at home and out of personal devotion you kiss it, this is also properly called a veneration of the cross. The customary place to venerate the cross is the feet of the corpus. During a Good Friday service, if you have an open wound or sickness that can be communicated by the mouth, you may venerate the cross by placing your right hand upon the feet of the corpus for a moment. I do this just the hand

There is one exception to rule above when a cross can properly be used in place of a crucifix: any cross that contains a relic of the true cross - that is an actual piece of the cross Jesus Christ died upon at Calvary - does not have to have a corpus upon it. The correct way to venerate this type of rare cross is to kiss the glass reliquary behind which the fragment is visible. If no reliquary is visible, the exact spot for veneration is not important, though kissing the foot of the cross is customary.
