Sad News - Moses the Dog

From Tara:
On 10/18/11, my dog was put down. I was searching the internet for pet prayers when I came across your blog. I would love it if you posted my prayer request for me and my dog. His name was Moses and he was 14 years old. A good old age for a dog, but his health had gone downhill so much, he could hardly stand on his own anymore. I know what me and my family did was the right thing, but I miss my sweet boy terribly. Not to mention, I made a huge mistake of reading why people thought animals didn't go to Heaven. I honestly believe that Moses did go to Heaven and that he'll be waiting for me there, but to my shame, I sometimes still have doubt. Any prayers for Moses and I would bring me great comfort and would be a huge help. Thank you so much.
Please keep Tara in your prayers as she suffers the loss of her beloved Moses.

  2. Thoughts and prayers for comfort are with you, Tara. I believe Moses waits for you. Here is a little adaptation I did of an old Norse Legend titled, "The Rainbow Bridge":

    By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
    Is a lush, green place where time stands still.

    Where friends of grownups and children do run,
    When their time on earth is over and done.

    For here, between this world and the next,
    Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

    In this green place, they wait and they play.
    Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

    No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
    For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

    Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
    Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

    Until one day they start, and sniff the air.

    All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
    Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

    For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
    Together again, both person and pet.

    So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
    The time of their parting is over at last.

    The sadness they felt while they were apart,
    Has turned to joy once more in each heart.

    They embrace with a love that will last forever,
    And then, side-by-side, they cross over...together.

    May God bless and comfort you, Tara

  3. God Bless you, Tara, and your Moses will be especially be remembered in my many prayers, bless his sweet heart and yours.
    May Moses know every joy of Heaven and perpetual light shine upon him!
    And Tara, you and Moses had quite the bond and I believe he will remain with you in spirit - he will find his own way to let you know he is with you.
    May your heart find peace in your many memories.

  4. Dear Tara,
    I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what you are going thru. On 10/18/11 I also had to put my dog dowm.She was the sweetest little girl. She would have been 15 yrs old this coming Christmas.Her nane was Kimmy.I loved her so much . She was always by my side like a butterfly. I can't stop crying . I never cried so much in my whole life.I took her everywhere. She love the car and at her last few days that's is the only place she was comfortable. She had terminal Cancer.I also feel bad being a religious Catholic I question if there is heaven for dogs.I pray that God does reunite us with our pets when we move on.

  5. Joe, I am very sorry for the loss of your dog. I just lost my 11 year old companion too and my heart is broken. I continue to hope and pray that "all dogs go to heaven". I will post a prayer request for you. God bless,
