A Message About the Prayer for Pets

Aloha Everyone:

Just wanted to make sure you understood that we welcome all prayer requests regardless of the Faith or Religion of a particular owner.

I am a Roman Catholic and I firmly believe that our friends the saints do intercede for us when we ask. That is why you will see that Catholics have patron saints for certain occupations, ailments, problems and also for animals. I know God will answer our prayers if it be His will.

Again, thank you for all your prayers. I know it makes a big difference.

Prayer Request for Emily the Cat

From Sarah:

Our lovely girl cat Emily, a tuxedo black and white girl, wandered
outside last night from our house, because of our absent-minded house
guest. Please help Emily to find her way home now, and help her to
know that she is safe and loved at our house. Please help her to know
that our house-guest is no longer there, and that our home is where
Emily belongs. Emily has always been an indoor cat. She is timid and
gentle and has never been outside before. Please help her to smell
where her house is and to return home quickly and easily. Please keep
her safe on her journey. Thank you.

We ask for the intercession of St. Anthony to help Emily find her way home. Please keep her and all our lost pets in your prayers.

Update on CeeCee the Dog

From Erin:

Update on CeeCee (the dog with epilepsy): CeeCee seized again after asking for your prayer requests, so all was not over! She, however, has been seizure-free now for 63.5 hours now. She seems to be fully recovered. Her vision has returned, her balance is much better, and her sweet personality is back. We thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for our baby. As we near Christmas, it is our fear that she will need emergency care on the holiday when services are in short supply. Thus far, our/your prayers have been answered. Please continue to pray for her as we will pray for your beloved pets. Thanks, again!

Please continue to pray for CeeCee and all our pets in need.

Good News on Benny the Dog

From Dr. C.

Thanks so much for your blogspot. It was much comfort in a very traumatic time when our pet Benny the Dog was lost to us. He has been returned to us and we are forever thankful to God, Jesus, and Mary for their intercession. Thank you, too, Esther for your kind thoughts and prayers for all pets and their owners in times of fear and anxiety. Bless you!
Dr. Ken Currier & Benny the Dog

Thank you all for your prayers!!

Update on Baby the Rabbit

From Steve:

Thanks to all of you who are praying for our little guy, and praise to God for watching over him. I wanted to let you know how it went at the vet's office today. I was so happy to hear that Baby made it through the anesthesia, procedures, and medicated bath Monday, and they were able to get a lot (but not all) of the ruined fur and material off of him (he is almost bald all over now - so we have to keep him extra warm as rabbits are very fragile and susceptible to cold). When they brought him out to us in his carrier, he hopped right to the door of it to greet us. That was the happiest moment. We put lots of warm fabric in over him to keep him warm on the ride home. He came home to freshly sanitized living quarters with fresh bedding, food, water - everything new for him. He started eating right away. He is still very sick and the doctor is researching what else we can do for him because she says she has never seen anything quite like his case.

Praise God

Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Prayer Request for Winston the Puppy

From Dean and Jenn:

Please help us by giving your gift of prayer to ask the Lord to restore our dog, Winston, to health and strength. We first found Winston at a shelter after looking for a dog for over a year. He is a wonderful pet and friend that makes children laugh and the old smile. But last week, Winston suddenly started showing signs of neurological problems. The doctors are giving him tests. It's all very scary.

We love Winston very very much. And thank all of you for praying for him.

Also, my wife and I pray that all of your pets get well very soon. And if he/she is lost they are guided home.

Please keep Winston and all our critically ill pets in your daily prayers.

Update on Baby the Rabbit and Urgent Prayer Request

Thank you for praying for Baby, our rabbit. Could you please continue to pray for him (as we are too). He is going in to the vet's Monday for more aggressive treatment as he is not showing significant improvement. He will have to be under anesthesia, which is always a life-or-death situation for a rabbit as they are so fragile and susceptible to problems with anesthetics. We do so appreciate your prayers. Thank you.

Please keep Baby and all our critically ill pets in your prayers.

Prayer Request for CeeCee the Dog

Please add CeeCee (dog, our "child") to your prayer list. She is 10 and has suffered from epilepsy all her life. She went into status on Thursday morning, seizing for 1.5 hrs. She continued to have seizures every few hours for about 48 hours after this episode, despite being heavily medicated. Her recovery has been slow, but at least she is recovering somewhat. She is scared and lacks some vision and balance. Please pray for her!

Please keep CeeCee and all our seriously ill pets in your prayers.

Prayer Request for Benny the Dog

From Ken:

Please pray for the return of lost doggie, Benny. God brought him to us and, of course, after God and Jesus, the light of our lives. He is not quite two years old and lost in a strange city after coming to Glendale/Peoria for Christmas to visit my family. He has been lost since Saturday, December 19th at around noon. He is a small, very cute beagle mix who is very loving and playful. We miss soooo much! It is devastating. The mornings and evenings are the hardest wondering if he is ok, if he had a warm place to sleep and something to eat and drink. Please pray for his safe return to us! Thank you so much Esther for you loving kindness and prayers for our Benny.

Please keep Benny and all our lost pets in your prayers. We especially seek the intercession of St. Anthony, patron saint of lost items (and in our case, lost pets).

Prayer Request for Daisy the Dog

Please pray for our beloved cocker spaniel, Daisy. She is being treated for a serious auto immune illness. As of today, she is not registering any platelets. We are praying to St. Francis and St. Roch that their intervention will help heal her and get her past this frightening illness. She is only 4 years old. We pray too that God will guide our veterinarian in the proper path to save her life.

Please keep Daisy and all our very sick pets in your prayers.

Prayer Request for Cody the Dog

The following prayer request came by way of Father Stefan

Please keep Cody and all or lost pets in your prayers.

Richard Gere and "Hachiko"

The real Hachiko
Warning: Tissue alert.

Source: Wikipedia's entry on Hachiko

Hachiko was a white Akita puppy when he went to live with a Tokyo University professor, Dr. Ueno. Hachiko would wait for his master at the train station in the afternoon before walking home together.

When Hachiko was eighteen months old, Dr. Ueno had a stroke and died at the university.

Everyday after that, Hachiko would go to the station to wait for his master. For nine years, he continued his vigil until he passed away.

Prayer Request for Snow the Kitten

From Michelle:

am from Miri, Sarawak (Malaysia). About 4 months back, I bought a kitten which I named "Snow". It's a very gentle kitten my family and I loved very much. It has a strange stomach problem which the vet told us as "NORMAL". We didn't find anything normal about it. Since the vet said it's a normal condition, we return back home and we spent our days as usual. Until yesterday, we were not satisfied with its current condition and concerned that it had never gone for bladder, we sent our cute little kitten to the vet. He checked its stomach and said they wanted to X-ray it and said its stomach is filled with water and didn't have much blood in it. He then gave antibiotics, medicine to make it easier to bladder and gave it an injection. Today, our Snow was terribly weak at a stage where I tried to lift it, as if its no longer alive. I cried and rushed to a different pet clinic. I decided not to go back the the previous vet. I just don't feel right. As soon as we came, we brought it in and the vet said instantly took out all the water that filled its' stomach until it looked really normal. Snow was still weak then but after the vet has done his work, our Snow is able to lift itself up. Thank God. I felt a little relief but the vet reminded me to be prepared for whatever is to come and said it's best to leave Snow under their care for at least 5 days to help it recover and try their very best to help Snow. He also said that Snow has a heart problem which caused its' stomach to bloat with water.

Tonight is Snow's first night stay in the pet clinic. I am glad that we sent it to the clinic. And I will never go to the previous clinic we used to go.

I would appreciate all your prayers to our special little Snow so that it will recover and be healthy. Please help us pray for Snow.

Thank you. May God bless everyone and may God listens to our prayer. We love you our precious little Snow....

Today is my birthday, I couldn't stop crying, and I wished for Snow to be fully recovered and I really hope that my wish tonight will come true...

Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you".

Thank you so much,

Please keep little Snow and all our seriously sick pets in your prayers.

Urgent Prayer Request for Baby the Rabbit

Please pray for healing for our companion rabbit, whose name is Baby, who is suffering with a potentially lethal skin disease. Baby was once beautiful like he is in his picture (attached), but now he has been ravaged by this pernicious disease. He is being treated and cared for, and I know with God's help he can recover. He is a wonderful, innocent, gentle, and loving animal who has kept us company since we brought him home as a little one, and he does NOT deserve this malady. Please also pray that we may be able to provide the best care for him and be instruments of healing to help him get well. Thank you.

Please keep Baby and all our seriously ill pets in your continued prayers.

Prayer Request for Caesar the Dog

From Kendra:

I am emailing to ask for prayer regarding a dog named Ceasar who was stolen when his owner's home was robbed 2 weeks ago. They later dumped him or he escaped. There have been multiple sightings, our last known sighting was Sun. night. He has become very thin and is now limping on a rear leg. I am praying for God's wisdom and guidance to help us find him and get him back home. Ceasar is 5 years old and has been with his family since 3 months of age. He is their baby who sleeps in bed with them and lays around on the couch. We are in the middle of frigid temps and winds today and I fear for his safety in this cold. I will keep everyone else's lost pets in my prayers.
Thank you,

Please keep Caesar and all our missing pets, especially those suffering from hungry and the elements, in your continued prayers.

Sad News on Ella the Dog and Prayer Request for her Owner

From Sarah:

I wanted to give you an update on Ella; unfortunately the Distemper spread to her Neuro system over the weekend and she lost her vision and hearing and could barely stand or walk yesterday. Her breathing was so labored and she refused to eat or drink anything so I had to take her to the Vet to be put to rest. It was heartbreaking to watch her suffer and the vet said she was only going to get worse. I really wanted her to beat this, but I couldn't let her suffer for my selfish wants to keep her here. I believe that she's in a better place now, but can't shake the guilty feeling that I "gave up" on her. Thank you for all the prayers that you said for her, I think that she had a great little life while it lasted.

Please keep Sarah in your prayers as she mourns the loss of her beloved pet.

The vet still is unable to determine what caused Crash's breathing problems but with an aggressive treatment of anti-biotics and steroids, he is doing so much better and breathing much better than earlier in the week. The vet is cautiously optimistic, he is not sure how long this will last, but we will take whatever time we have left with Crash and make the most of every minute.

Urgent Prayer Request for Crash the Dog

From Loretta:

Please pray for our beautiful Golden Retriever dog “Crash” and the doctor who is helping him. He is in the hospital right now and suffering with lung problems. The Doctor is going to do a procedure on him today where they insert a needle in his chest and pull some fluid or tissue to try to find out what is causing this lung problem.

Update on the Warehouse Cats and Urgent Prayer Request

From Mary:

The situation at the warehouse has taken a horrible turn and the warehouse people won't let me back in and I think they've cut off all food and water to the cats. Now any cats there and especially the kitten who is used to being fed could starve to death. I really need strong prayers that this situation turns around soon before it is too late for these cats. There are some really nasty people involved. Please pray for this project to be allowed to be completed so the cat can be saved and the whole thing can end peacefully.

I would ask that you pray that this situation is resolved and the cats helped.

Recent Update on Ella the Puppy

From Sarah. Ella's owner:

Thank you for the continued prayers. Unfortunately, her symptoms have gotten worse :(. We were back to the vet this week and the vet declared that she officially has distemper. Her symptoms have shown up in the complete backwards order than what a "typical" distemper case is, so I'm hoping that means that she will be a part of the 25% that survives it. She's still happy and has even gained 1/2 a pound, so I take that as a good sign. The vet told me to be prepared to lose her if her symptoms get any worse than they currently are. But until then, we're treating her symptomatically and just hoping for the best. Poor little thing is on so much medicine right now, but she takes it without a lot of trouble. Please just keep her in your prayers and pray that she fights through this and is my little miracle!

We continue to ask for the intercession of Bl. Seelos and St. Martin de Porres, who are known to heal the most seriously ill animals. Please keep Sarah and all our other pets in your prayers.

Praise Report on Atticus the Cat

Atticus' owner wrote:

prayers answered! Atticus was "trapped" by a neighbor and has been at the local animal shelter for the past 2 days. Thank GOD I went today, as they only keep captured cats for about 4 days before putting up for adoption or euthanizing. He had no identification and I went to the shelter as a last resort, not expecting to find him there....but there he was!!!! We were both so thrilled to see each other!! After we left the shelter, we immediately headed to the vet for him to be microchipped. He is now safely home and I am saying many prayers of thanks!!!!

What wonderful news! BTW, be sure you register the pet's microchip number with the place that issued the microchip...example, AVID, as well as the pet shelter and vet.

Recent Update on Sioux the Dog

From Julie:

On the recommendation of the vet I had cut Sioux's prednisone dose from 20 mg to 10 mg over the past three weeks. Within the last week her breathing has become more labored and the lumps in her lymph nodes seem to be getting larger. I'm trying to decide if I should increase the dosage again. She has been such an incredible gift to me. I just want to do what is best for her.

Friday will be 9 weeks since Sioux was given the lymphoma diagnosis. At that time the longest they thought she would live is two months.

We ask for the intercession of Blessed Seelos and St. Martin de Porres, known for their healing powers over God's creatures. I would also ask that you keep Julie and the other pet owners in your prayers, as they go through a difficult time with their lost, sick or injured pets.

Please pray for Buttercup, she's my 11 year old beagle mix who I've had since I was in kindergarten. She's always such a lively part of my family and she always knows when to make us smile. Recently while out for a break outside, she disappeared. It's been two days, and she's never been gone all night outside before. There aren't any signs anywhere, no one has seen her, and we can't find her. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and I don't feel I ever will if we don't find her. <3 Please. I don't know what I can do without by baby.

Update on Ella the Puppy

From Sarah:

Thank you so much for your prayers! Ella spent the day being tested at her vet and they don't think she has distemper! We're still waiting on the test results to be sure, but they're leaning more toward epilepsy now. She's still really sick and on a lot of medicine, but we're hoping to lower the dosages and eventually be able to take them off of them! I've seen an amazing improvement over the last 24 hours (she's wagging her tail again!) and I truly believe it's from all the prayers that she's received. Thank you for keeping her in your prayers and I hope and pray her test results come back negative for distemper and that she gets better and back to her sweet little self soon!

I've attached a picture of her for you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sarah

Please continue to keep little Ella and all our pets in your prayers.

Feast Day of San Martín de Porres

Feast of San Martín de Porres: November 3rd.

Why is San Martín de Porres one of the patron saint of animals?

Los animales

Tenía el don de comunicarse con los animales, los cuales le obedecían, como a Santa Rosa. Las pinturas lo representan haciendo comer a perro, pericote y gato de un mismo plato. Cuando se enteró de que en el convento un hermano iba a matar a un pernicioso ratón, le pidió que no lo haga. Como si fuese una persona, habló al pericote, que había tomado en sus manos, y le pidió que diga a sus compañeros que no hagan daño y que se retiren a la huerta, que allí les daría de comer.

El animalito se fue y desde entonces los ratones se fueron a la huerta, donde todos los días, viéndole llegar, los roedores daban el encuentro al santo para recibir comida.

Translation:

The Animals:

He had the gift of communicating with the animals and they would obey him, as they did Santa Rosa de Lima (Note: another great saint from Peru). Paintings depict him as having the dog, mice and cat eating from the same dish.

When he found out a brother at the monastery was going to kill the pernicious mice that were overtaking their monastery, he pleaded to the brother not to kill them. He went and spoke to a mouse, which he held in his hand, as if the mouse was human. He asked the mouse to speak to the other mice and ask them not to do any damage but to go out into the field and he would feed them there.

From that moment, the little mice went into the field and everyday they would wait for Fray Martin to approach and they surrounded him, waiting to be fed by him.

Translation: Esther G.

Praise Report on Precious the Cat and New Prayer Request for Warehouse Kitties

I received the following email today:

I appreciate your caring and any way you will help. Please post this prayer request. I was especially surprised how Precious was recovered, maybe thanks to you. Here is my new request:

I posted about Precious back in July and thank any higher beings and whoever helped here, he was found safe.

I now need prayers for the rest of the warehouse cats. The ones that I know at least were there are: a grey and white adult that I met and had to let go at the time because I had no home to take him (this crushes me) , a grey and white kitten who I'm worried sick about, too, a black and white adult and a blue grey young cat. I am especially worried because the grey and white adult was supposedly put off of the property and may not come back and no has seen the grey and white kitten in a long time.

Please pray that I find all all there in good shape and am able to take them to a safe home for a happy, safe life. This is really driving me crazy and I really need some happy relief. Also, please pray for the safe return of my neighbor's cat, who got out about month ago. This site is giving me a little hope and I appreciate it's existence. Please help. Thanks.

Prayer Request for Dimitri the Dog

I received the following email requesting prayers:

My dear friend in Oregon sent me an urgent email for her dear friend in Alberta Canada..this dog is soooo loved by his family and has been through much already here is the prayer request sent to me (whom also is RC).. Thankyou and May God Bless you and those who work with you for this wonderful ministry.

Hi All,

This is from my very close friend in Canada. This loving Leonburger dog has been though so much illness in his short life. Would you please say a little prayer, or send some positive thoughts to his family and his wonderful Vet?

Much appreciated, Marcy

Please pray for Dimitri. he suddenly got very sick today, and is now in the hospital in intensive care. had the runs, then puked, and cuz of his LP now from puking he has aspiration pneumonia. We have zero idea what happened to him. he was perfectly fine when i went to work this morning. I'm stunned in shock and shaking. very freaked out. last i talked to vet they had to put him on nose oxygen and his heart rate very high. He was getting worse from when we dropped him off at 6pm. They did blood tests, white cell count very low at 1.3, but liver and kidney enzymes ok. I just can't even believe this is happening, don't know what is going on, and he was totally fine this morning. The bill is getting insanely huge, my visa is near maxed out. I don't know what to do. Hoping the meds kick in over night, and with lots of prayers he can be much better in the morning. I'll keep you posted. Michelle

Please keep Dimitri and all our seriously ill pets in your prayers.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST FOR ELLA THE PUPPY

From Sarah:

I came across your blog and saw that you take prayer requests......Ella is my 15 month old Maltipoo. She's had a clean bill of health, had all of her shots, and is the most adorable thing you've ever seen. All she wants to do is be held and loved and veryone falls in love with her the moment the meet her. Yesterday, out of the blue, she started having seizures. I rushed her to her emergency vet hospital and the Dr's told me that they believe she has distemper (although she did receive the vaccine for it). The vet wanted to keep her in the hospital for the weekend to run tests and for observation, but unfortunately it would cost $2000, and I just couldn't afford that. So instead they ran what tests I could afford and gave her IV's to make her comfortable and called in a prescription to help stop the seizures. He told me I may only have 48 hours left with her. We've made it through one night and she hasn't had a seizure in about 10 hours, but the medicine keeps her so doped up, it's heartbreaking to see her so lifeless. I'm praying that she makes it through the weekend and to the vet Monday morning and that they (by some miracle) can save her. This dog found me in my time of need, and it breaks my heart that I can't do anything to help her in hers. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She's supposed to be my "forever" dog and I'm not ready to lose her.

We ask for the intercession of St. Martin de Porres whose feast day is tomorrow. He was known to be given the gift by God, of healing animals. Please keep Ella and all our seriously sick pets in your prayers.

Praise Report on Smokey the Cat

From Joann:

I want to thank you for your help and everyone involved for prayers for my missing cat Smokey. Yesterday I received a telephone call letting me know that Smokey had been sleeping in their garage for 3 weeks+2 days.......they were not sure what it was....just the jingle of the bell they would hear.....and they placed cat food and water out for him daily. He never peeped out until yesterday, when they were able to capture him and telephoned me. When I picked him up, he was in good condition thanks to the wonderful care these "strangers" provided Smokey. He was only 2 blocks away and had gone into an open garage where he established a new residence until he was found.
I prayed daily many many many times a day, especially to St. Frances, St. Anthony, and St. Joseph for our cats safe return and now he is home. Of course God, Jesus and Mary's name were also mentioned. They answered my prayers and I am so so Thankful!

Had to share this HAPPY news with you. Thanks for providing "Prayers for Our Pets" site because it is WONDERFUL! If I can ever help you in any way, let me know. Not sure what it could be....but I am willing to offer whatever I can do to assist you.

Take care,

Update on Rusty the Dog

Just received from Hilary:

Our prayers have been answered! Rusty had to get 7 teeth pulled and a tumor in his mouth removed (we hope it is benign!!!!!! So we have to keep on praying!)…thank God he woke up quickly after surgery and we were allowed to take him home after 3 hours. He is very weak and wobbly on his feet but now he is curled up at my feet and we hope he will be fine! I can’t believe our luck….it was a terrible feeling leaving home this morning not knowing whether we would bring him back home again tonight.



Most difficult day in my life, but we’re ok for now! Thank you for asking and I will definitely keep visiting your blog to say my prayers for all the poor pets that are suffering.

Prayer Request for Rusty the Dog

From Hilary:

I just came across your blog after another sleepless night. I live in Germany and was looking for prayers for my Sheltie dog Rusty….he is quite old and had to be taken to an animal clinic on Friday. Now he has to be anesthesized tomorrow to investigate what is causing his trouble, and then he might have to be operated straight off. Since he is so old we are terrified it could be sth serious or that he doesn’t wake up after this, or even that the vet tells us that nothing can be done.



Maybe somebody wants to include us in their prayers in our time of need.



Thank you.



Hilary

Please keep all our pets in need in your prayers.

My year and a half old female tuxedo cat, Casey, got out last Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2009 and has not returned home. We are heartbroken.
We have handed out some flyers and checked the shelters.
Casey was born on our deck and we took her in when she was about 7 months old. She loves to sneak out when we open the sliding glass doors but would usually return within a day or so would Today I was about to give up hope but then I came across your site.

Prayer Request for Munster the Cat

From Brenda:

I found your blog online Prayers for our Pets and really enjoyed reading it. I have lost my black and brown tiger tabby cat Munster since 10/12/2009 from Laguna Niguel, California and would appreciate any prayers and positive energy you could offer. I found Munster, then a kitten, at a veterinarian in Jerusalem about 2.5 years ago while I was working there as a journalist. I brought him over from Israel to Orange County, CA a little over 2 months ago. He is an active indoor/outdoor cat and just disappeared one evening. One neighbor later told me that she saw him on a roof of a nearby home the night he disappeared. Another told me he saw him several streets down a few days later. I have searched high and low, checked with the shelters, posted fliers, tried the phone service findtoto.com, etc. I pray everyday for his safe return home.

Thank you for all of your prayers for animals and for your beautiful blog.

Sincerely,

Brenda

PS. I included a photo of Munster taken right before we left Jerusalem.

Please keep Munster and all our missing pets in your prayers.

Prayer Request for O'Malley (Aly the Cat)

From Clare:

THank you so much for your generous blog! May God bless the kindness you show to others through it! We too have lost our cat. He is a very new addition to our family and his name is O'Mally, but my 2-year old calls him "Aly the Cat". He is her cat because her old cat was recently hit by a car (he was a stray that wandered into our lives). O'Mally attached himself to my daughter, and he escaped from our screened-in porch this afternoon. I pray for a safe return. Thank you so much. God Bless you and Honey.

Please keep O'Malley (Aly) and all our missing pets in your daily prayers.

Betsy the Cat Has Died - Prayer Request for Betsy's Owner

Betsy sadly has died. Maryann sent me the following email. I hope she does not mind if I share her beautiful email with all of you who are an important part of our pet prayer apostolate:

Thank you so much for your prayers. We lost our beautiful Betsy this morning. There is a beautiful poem that I received from the owner of the pet cemetery where she is going to be laid to rest. It is so beautiful. I want to share it with you. Perhaps you could post it on your website. I feel it will bring comfort to many who have lost their beloved pets. It brought me comfort, and it is applicable to human loved ones as well, in my opinion. As there is an unknown author, I think there will be no problem with copyright. Here is the poem.

The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called "The Rainbow Bridge" because of its
many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow
Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills and
valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved
pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is
always food and water and warm Spring
weather. Those old and frail animals are
young again. Those who have been maimed
are made whole again. They play all day with
each other. But there is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who
loved them on earth. So, each day, they run
and play until the day comes when one
suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose
twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring,
and this one runs from the group. You have
been seen. When you and your special friend
meet, you take him or her in your arms and
embrace. Your face is kissed again and again.
You look once more into the eyes of your
trusting pet. Then, you cross the Rainbow
Bridge together, never again to be separated.

owner of the pet cemetery is in a wheel chair and is
a very religious person. She and her brother run the
cemetery. She does not advertise at all, and my husband
somehow found out about it on line. Evidently, God
brought us to her. My beloved Betsy is going to be
laid to rest in a beautiful place on Saturday (weather
permitting) or Sunday if it rains. I am so very very
sad and my husband is heartbroken. This was his
little girl. Esther, she only turn 12 in April so this
was totally unexpected. I am crying so hard. My heart is
broken, but she died at home. We had an appointment for
her at the vets in the afternoon as she was doing so poorly,
but she didn't make it. By the way, we are in Rhode Island.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comforting website.
You are truly carrying out the Lord's work in allowing us grieving pet parents to share with each other.

Maryann

Please keep Maryann and her husband in your prayers as they grieve for their beloved pet.

Prayer Request for Wizard the Dog

From Reneé:

Please pray for little Wizard, he is a Fox Terrier cross, we got him from Save-a-Pet about two weeks ago. He was doing well although a little scared on the first day, seeing as we have another dog as well as two cats. Since the day before yesterday he developed yummy problems and for some reason I get the feeling that he is scared to go outside. I assume that the tummy problems are due to stress but I'm watching him carefully and will take him to the vet if he is not better by tomorrow. Please pray that he will be okay because we want him in our family for many more years to come, I call him my honeymoon baby, seeing as we got him a week after our wedding. I love my little Wizard, and he is a wizard when it comes to being naughty! LOL.

Prayer Request for Morgan the Dog

Cindy has the following prayer request. Please keep her and the dog in question in your prayers:

I am a Catholic and I need someone to say a prayer for me and family. I recently became a volunteer for a great dane rescue who fosters great danes. We have received our first foster, and she has been with us for about 3 weeks. When I received my foster dane, she was very hyper and had separation anxiety, didn't know how to walk on a leash. Since having this dog, I have now gotten her over her separation anxiety plus she now is walking on a leash. I had a family who really needed and wished to adopt her, but I guess the rescue said no to this situation. The family that I had lined up to adopt her, had recently lost his wife due to leukemia, and the little girl really needed a companion. Well, on Thursday I received an e-mail that my foster had an adoptive family, not the family that I had suggested. Upon feeling let down, I went a head and lined up a place and time to exchange my rescue dog. The new adoptive mother, said that this was one of the best transactions that she had ever received, because of how I handled the situation. Then yesterday, the adoptive Mother called me and said that she couldn't handle my foster dog,and wanted me to take her back. I then e-mailed the rescue that I was going to pick my foster dog back up, plus try to call the president of the rescue. During this time, I didn't receive any type of interaction. Upon getting my foster dog back; which my family has fell in love with, we have decided it was a sign from God that she is meant to be with our family. Later in the night, the rescue called me and said that I shouldn't picked up Morgan, my foster dog, without contact from a board member. Now, I am a person that is extremely compassionate, plus I want to do right all the time. I am feeling so bad and upset with this situation. I also mentioned that we would like to adopt Morgan. So my prayer request is that you pray for us to be able to adopt Morgan. We love this dog, and already consider her to be a part of our family. I am praying to St. Roch for his help in this situation.

Thank you for our time and prayers.

Happy Feast Day to St. Francis of Assisi and a Pet's Blessing

St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of Animals
Feast Day October 4th

"Lord God,
you have made all living things
and you are even more wonderful
than the things you have made.
We thank you for giving us our pets
who are our friends
and who give us so much joy in life.

Bless this Pet.
May it give us joy and remind us of your power.
May we realize that
as our pets trust us to take care of them,
so we should trust you to take care of us,
and in taking care of them
we share in your love for all your creatures.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Blessing of an Animal

Almighty and generous Providence,
how great the variety of living things
you have put at our disposal!
You told our first parents:
"I give you all animals of the land" (Gn 1:30).
Some can be used as food,
or for labor or transportation,
but also for our companionship and recreation.

Bless this Animal.
May it carry out the function it has been given
and may it aid us to think of you its Creator
and give praise and thanks to your forever.
We ask this in the Name of Jesus our Lord.

Correction:Prayer Request for Floyd the Cat

In order to have prayers said for Floyd, but without knowing what kind of animal he was, I typed dog. However, Floyd is a cat. The following is the response from Barcy to my inquiry:

Floyd is a cat. He is a 4 year old Maine Coon that we found along a bike path 3 years ago. We think that he had been dumped by a breeder because he was born with the herpes virus which is common for kittens to be born with that when they come from a bad breeder. At first I was horrified that anyone could discard such an amazing cat but then I counted my blessings that we had stumbled across him and he became such an amazing part of our lives.

Floyd is stunning and delightful and I think that is why he was stolen. I just hope in my heart that he can find his way home. I think all the prayers possible will help in the return of our wee one. I do worry about his herpes – when he is stressed the virus activates and cause respiratory distress. I am in constant dialogue with St. Anthony and St. Francis so as they say I will keep the faith!

Thank you for posting Floyd on your prayer list.

Barcy and Guy have requested prayers for their pet who was stolen. Please keep Floyd and all our missing pets in your prayers.

My dear Floyd was stolen from our backyard sometime on September 12. We are just beside ourselves over him. We have plastered the neighborhood, shelters, Vet offices, parks with posters and are posted on several missing pets websites and still nothing.

I pray constantly to St. Anthony to help me find him and to St. Francis for his safety. Perhaps if you posted my request for others to pray for our dear Floyd’s safe return a miracle could happen.

Please pray for the safe return of our dearest Floyd. We miss him so terribly and our hearts are broken thinking he may never come home.

Thank you and God Bless you
