Amanda mentions the book "Witta" by Edain McCoy. The familiar blessing is as follows:
Take your beloved animal in your arms or into your circle and then say address the prayer to Brigid, the Lady of the Beasts: "Blessed Brigid, Lady of the Beasts and Guardian of all creatures, I ask that you enfold your loving arms of protection around my cherished friend (state friend’s name). Spirit of nature, guardian of wood and earth, give my beloved friend (state pet’s name) the blessings of strength, health, and long life."
Then to your pet you say, “May I always know how to aid you when you are in need. May I always see to your comforts as well as I see to my own. And may I be as good a friend and companion to you as you are to me. In accordance with your free will. I bless you on this sabbat… So mote it be!"
