My neighbor is in need of your prayers right now. She's about to put her 12 year old pup, Shelby, to sleep and I'm watching her as she's spending the last few minutes with him on her porch in this beautiful fall afternoon. It's truly heartbreaking.
Thank you.
To all pet owners out there. I almost had to put down my 17 yo cat, Kitty, due to arthritis and hip dysplasia. The "normal" vet route meds were no longer working and she could barely walk. I prayed to God that He take away her pain. Then I started praying that He take her as she sleeps so I wouldn't have to do it.
Did she miraculously recover? Nope. He guided me to look for a "cure". I found it.....Synflex. It saved my cats life. She's walking around with no pain or limp, and I only started it on 10/1/08. With time, she will only get better.
Sorry, I didn't want to "hijack" your thread, but it might help another pet owner save the life of their furry family member. My heart is breaking for your neighbor.I was almost in her position and that is not a place I EVER want to be.
See post #21!
Praying for your neighbor!
A friend of mine is facing the same with their dog, Coda, a 10 yr old husky. It’s never an easy decision to make.
thank you..I will check this out!
Aww...prayers sent for your friend. I know how painful it is to have to say goodbye to a dear and trusted furry friend.
You’re welcome. Please do check it out, you will be so happy you did! AND....please read the success stories and believe them! I didn’t have any other choice but to do so and I am so glad I did!
Let me know how it goes!
~Prayers~
What really helped was to hand my 16½ y-o dachshund to the Vet’s assistant with a large paper bag—with instructions to put the bag in the pickup bed while I waited outside. (I’d previously dug his grave—in different states—six months apart!)
I had held him for the full day prior, but still had to let go. :(
Losing a pet is so emotionally trying, especially when they’ve given love uncondiionally for 15 years. My heart and prayers are with your friend.
Our dog died. A few months later my wife got online and found a breeder (Lhaso Apso)in Denver. We bought a puppy. We drove up from Texas to get him and when we walked in it was obvious he knew us. We took him home and at ten weeks he was house trained. The two cats acted like they knew him. This dog is a carbon copy of the other one. Has the same mannerisms. I mentioned this to my vet and she said she thinks these animals come back. She says she’s seen it time and time again but she doesn’t bring it up unless a client brings it up first.
Tell you neighbor she can have that dog again if she gives it a little time then finds another of the same breed. Call me crazy but I’ll always believe mine was reincarnated.
Prayers for your friend as she parts with her beloved dog. How kind of you to ask for prayer for your friend !
May God heal her brokenheart and bring her just the right puppy when she is ready for a new friend.
I believe that some dogs are angels sent to us from Heaven. Sometimes the relationship between human and dog is so close that it enriches and prolongs the life of both. It is truly sad and one of the most painful experiences that I have ever known when it comes time to send them home. We do this because we do not want our beloved friends to suffer any pain.
I wish I could tell your neighbor that this is the day that her beloved friend returns home to play in the yard of The Lord. While she will be very sad for sometime, what she must know is that this is her opportunity to give a home to another wonderful angel who desperately needs one. The only way I have found to deal with the sadness of losing a dog is to revel in the happiness of adopting another.
I will pray for your neighbor and her beloved friend. May God Bless them both.
It’s hard losing pets. I lost a 5-year old and two 2-year olds to feline leukemia this year. Prayers for your neighbor.
My prayers.. It’s hard to love enough to let go.
Some prayers of peace for you too.
Losing your best friend leaves a huge hole in your heart.
Hope your kitty has many more comfortable years.
Thanks for the tip.
PRAYERS FOR COMFORT!
AFTER 45 YEARS OF RAISING DOGS AND TEARS HAVE BEEN SHED OVER MANY GONE.
GODSPEED!
Thank you!
I took in a stray cat this weekend. Was living under the bushes near my front porch.
My Lab’s are not sure about him yet...
Awww, good for you! I have 2 outside I’ve been feeding. I’ve looked into getting them in a nokill shelter, but the red tape to do so is outstanding. I have to put them in the pound, then the nokill rescues them from the pound. I just don’t have the heart to put them there.
They aren’t feral....way too friendly and they obviously grew up with each other because of the love they show one another. I think I’m going to get an outside house for them for the cold weather coming.
Can you post a pic of your new baby?
