Update on Ferlitz the Dog

From Kit:

Thank you all for the loving prayers...Ferlitz had her surgery this morning and it well...She is now resting at the pet hospital and will be discharged either tomorrow or Friday. I can actually hear her bark in the background when I called and I can tell that she is back to her old self. I'm so happy and will take good extra care of her when she gets home.

I pray that other pets and their owners will get better too and find comfort as I know that animals are also God's creatures and they are very precious to their owners.

Thank you!!!

I was a bit behind here checking in and so just saw your most recent post first - that Ferlitz has already had her surgery and all is proceeding well :) - oh Kit, I am so very happy for your news, for both you and for Ferlitz! God Bless you both and keep you in his loving embrace!
I continued with the prayer vigil even when I could not be here at the computer.
I am truly so happy for you and FERLITZ, God Bless!!; December 14, 2011 at 5:52 PM
Kit said...: Thank you and everyone else who had prayed for Ferlitz. I saw her last night and although she is sleepy, I can tell that she is feeling better. I was told that she can home today so that's great news. I can't wait to see her again and do things that we used to do together without jumping on/off the couches or climbing up/down the stairs. Although she still requires post op exercises, I know that she will be back to the way she was.

I also pray that other pets and their owners will find comfort that they are not alone and they can seek assistance to different sites which I find helpful and encouraging.

God bless everyone!!!; December 15, 2011 at 5:49 AM

kit said...: It's been a week since her back surgery and Ferlitz is getting better everyday... We will take her back after Christmas for her staples removal and start her physical therapy. I just miss cuddling with her and teasing her when she's trying to take a nap, but I know we will be the same way soon enough.

Thanks for adding me Esther! I feel honored and proud. :); December 21, 2011 at 6:51 AM

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.
