CRITICAL : MORE URGENT Prayer Request for Stretch (aka Pretty Girl) the cat

From Jim:

We just heard back from Stretch's Dr. and 48 hours ago they found some e-coli resisting the two antibiotics she was on----he has switched her over to a new compound.

Dr. G wants to give her a chance to improve overnight - Stretch's stay will be one week tomorrow. Friday. He wants us (Stretch's parents) to decide whether to put her to sleep (which he recommends if she does not improve) or bring her home (which he explicitly says he does not recommend---but i beg to differ!).

We trust that everyone (esp. those who have lost their beloved feline/ canine sons and daughters) will understand how difficult this decision will be.

We ask for a Miracle to bring her back whole----but trust that the years she has spent with us through the years have served her well and the joy she has given our family will forever remain in us----Thy Will Be Done!

Please Pray for the complete recovery of our feline daughter Stretch (aka Pretty Girl). She was born March 1991.

Anonymous said...: For Jim and Family, please be assured of my continuing prayers for your beloved Stretch (Pretty Girl), and for each of you. I too, have always been taught that intercessions are granted in accordance with God's Will and sometimes yes despite our deepest trust there are questions we can never understand and I see that you are at peace with that.
I have also seen miracles occur in the presence of the most stacked odds and recommendations.
I am not advocating that you go against any veterinary advice, but I just need to offer this to you from my heart - please follow YOUR heart and listen to Stretch, too. The bond of love here is incredible and profound and love and faith can do amazing things.
Keep us posted as you can.

Prayer for My Pet

In Your infinite wisdom, Lord God,
when You created the Universe
You blessed us with all living creatures.
We especially thank You for giving us our pets
who are our friends and who bring us so much joy in life.
Their presence very often helps us get through trying times.
Kindly bless my pet.
May my pet continue giving me joy and remind me 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.
Enlighten our minds to preserve all endangered species
so that we may continue to appreciate all Your creatures.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayers for Animals and their Masters

Hear our humble prayer,
O God,
for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering:
for animals that are over-worked,
under-fed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity
that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.

We entreat for them all
your mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them
we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves,
to be true friends to animals
and so to share the blessings of the Merciful.

Albert Schweitzer (1875- 1965)
Theologian and Humanitarian

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.
