Urgent Prayer Request for Tonka the Dog

From Bernice:
My little dog Tonka urgently needs prayer. She has lived for a number of years with a large inoperable tumor on her left hip. She has been happy and healthy in spite of an initial grim prognosis but tonight she is suddenly stumbling and falling even though she seems otherwise alert. If she's not better by morning (approx. 12 hours from now) my husband thinks we should take her to the vet and have her put down so she won't suffer. I can't bear to think about this. She would be frightened and I don't want her last hours to be in a strange place. She has been my constant companion for many years. Please pray that she will live out her days happy and able to walk and that, when her time comes, she slips away peacefully at home where she is so loved. Thank you so very much.

Sending prayers for Tonka...hopefully, she doesn't have to suffer or let alone put down. Praying for strength for both the owners and Tonka.

God Bless!!!

Praying for Tonka. This happened to my dog dramatically twice in the past year. He also was very alert when it would occur. He is currently a happy 14 year old. Sometimes there is a temporary spinal compression or something very treatable. It is often not the worst case scenario. Don't give up hope!
