Sad News - Tonka the Dog

From Bernice:

Thank you so much for posting the prayer request for Tonka and for the prayers that have already been said for her. Sadly, the vet thought it was best for Tonka to be put to sleep. We are so sad, but tried to make the choice that was the very best for her. She was a lovely, lovely girl - gentle and so sweet. She was our constant companion for many years and we love her so much. Thank you again. You don't know how much it means to be able to ask for prayer and know that people care and are praying.

Please say a prayer for Bernice and her family.

Urgent Prayer Request for Tonka the Dog

From Bernice:

Hi again, thank you so much for praying for our little girl Tonka. I requested prayer for her a while ago because of a balance problem and she was much better. Then I asked for prayer for a very large inoperable tumor she has on her hip. Now more tumors seem to be growing on top of the original tumor. It's bleeding and today she seems uncomfortable and unsettled. We are taking her to the vet this morning as soon as the office is open and I'm sure the recommendation will be euthanasia. Please pray that we will make the right choice for her. I'm still hoping some miracle will occur. We love her very much and she loves and trusts us. We want to do what's right for her. Thank you so much for your help.

Sad News - Cassidy the Dog

From Louann:

Sadly our baby girl lost her battle with cancer early this morning. We miss her more than words can even begin to express. We were fortunate to have the extra quality time with her before yesterday. She became very ill, and was unable to recover. There will never be another girl like her. She was our mama dog, everyone and everything loved her and she them. She never met any animal she didn't like. I could go on and on. Boy, I miss her, as I sit here crying my eyes out. Please know how comforting it was to have your blessed group pray for her. It means so much to us to know that there are wonderful people who care. GOD bless you all! With heartfelt thanks,

Please keep Louann in your prayers...although, I know I don't even have to ask that of you. Mahalo!

Urgent Prayer Request for Polu the Puppy

Please pray for our 5 month old puppy, Polu. He has had chronic diarrhea since the day we brought him home.

He isn't developing the way a healthy puppy should. Thank you and God bless.

Prayer Request for Ashlyn the Cat

From Michelle in comment section:

Please pray for my cat, Ashlyn. She was out yesterday and hasn't been seen since the afternoon. We think someone took her into their home, which is frustrating because she has a collar and clearly belongs to a family. She is my my daughters and my cat and is very special to us. We just had to pray to Saint Francis for healing of Ashlyn's sister, Dusty, who was hot by a car and those prayers were answered quickly and has healed almost completely in less than 2 weeks. This would be so crushing to the kids if after all that, our little Ashlyn was lost forever. The Saints have helped us many times, and we need them yet again... Please help!

Urgent Prayer Request for Clara the Cat

"Clara"

From Angel: I adopted my Persian Clara a few years ago from a shelter. She had a rough life before coming to me. I love her with all my heart, she's my best friend. Last night I found she couldn't stand on her back legs anymore. I rushed her to the emergency vets hours away. They deduced that she has a slipped disk in her back. They decided to keep her at the vets and inject her with steroids for 3-4 days to see how she responds. As of this afternoon she still has not gotten any better, or any worse. I drove the hours again to go visit her today.

If the injections don't work she may need surgery, which is very expensive. I can't lose my baby. She usually sleeps next to me every night, and now my bed feels so empty I can't sleep..

Please keep her in your prayers, and pray for a speedy recovery. I will be eternally grateful. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Angel Dionne

P.S. I've included a picture of my Clara.

Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, one of our Patron Saints

Picture source

Today is the Feast day of one of the most favorite saints there is, Saint Anthony of Padua.  Here at this blog we often ask for his intercession in finding our lost pets.  However, did you know that he was an eloquent preacher?  Because of this gift, he is also one of the doctors of the Church.  I would like to share with you the following story that appeared in the Little Flowers of St. Francis:

Dear Saint Anthony, for all the times you have interceded for us and helped us find our lost animals, we thank you!

From The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi, 1476 Source

Christ, the blessed one, was pleased to show forth the great sanctity of his most faithful servant St Anthony, and how men ought devoutly to listen to his preaching, be means of creatures without reason. On one occasion, amongst others, he made use of fish to reprove the folly of faithless heretics: even as we read in the Old Testament that in ancient times he reproved the ignorance of Balaam by the mouth of an ass.

St Anthony being at one time at Rimini, where there were a great number of heretics, and wishing to lead them by the light of faith into the way of truth, preached to them for several days, and reasoned with them on the faith of Christ and on the Holy Scriptures. They not only resisted his words, but were hardened and obstinate, refusing to listen to him.

At last St Anthony, inspired by God, went down to the sea-shore, where the river runs into the sea, and having placed himself on a bank between the river and the sea, he began to speak to the fishes as if the Lord had sent him to preach to them, and said: "Listen to the word of God, O ye fishes of the sea and of the river, seeing that the faithless heretics refuse to do so."

No sooner had he spoken these words than suddenly so great a multitude of fishes, both small and great, approached the bank on which he stood, that never before had so many been seen in the sea or the river. All kept their heads out of the water, and seemed to be looking attentively on St Anthony's face; all were ranged in perfect order and most peacefully, the smaller ones in front near the bank, after them came those a little bigger, and last of all, were the water was deeper, the largest.

When they had placed themselves in this order, St Anthony began to preach to them most solemnly, saying: "My brothers the fishes, you are bound, as much as is in your power, to return thanks to your Creator, who has given you so noble an element for your dwelling; for you have at your choice both sweet water and salt; you have many places of refuge from the tempest; you have likewise a pure and transparent element for your nourishment. God, your bountiful and kind Creator, when he made you, ordered you to increase and multiply, and gave you his blessing. In the universal deluge, all other creatures perished; you alone did God preserve from all harm. He has given you fins to enable you to go where you will. To you was it granted, according to the commandment of God, to keep the prophet Jonas, and after three days to throw him safe and sound on dry land. You it was who gave the tribute-money to our Saviour Jesus Christ, when, through his poverty, he had not wherewith to pay. By a singular mystery you were the nourishment of the eternal King, Jesus Christ, before and after his resurrection. Because of all these things you are bound to praise and bless the Lord, who has given you blessings so many and so much greater than to other creatures."

At these words the fish began to open their mouths, and bow their heads, endeavouring as much as was in their power to express their reverence and show forth their praise.

St Anthony, seeing the reverence of the fish towards their Creator, rejoiced greatly in spirit, and said with a loud voice: "Blessed be the eternal God; for the fishes of the sea honour him more than men without faith, and animals without reason listen to his word with greater attention than sinful heretics."

And whilst St Anthony was preaching, the number of fishes increased, and none of them left the place that he had chosen. And the people of the city hearing of the miracle, made haste to go and witness it. With them also came the heretics of whom we have spoken above, who, seeing so wonderful and manifest a miracle, were touched in their hearts; and threw themselves at the feet of St Anthony to hear his words. The saint then began to expound to them the Catholic faith. He preached so eloquently, that all those heretics were converted, and returned to the true faith of Christ; the faithful also were filled with joy, and greatly comforted, being strengthened in the faith.

After this St Anthony sent away the fishes, with the blessing of God; and they all departed, rejoicing as they went, and the people returned to the city. But St Anthony remained at Rimini for several days, preaching and reaping much spiritual fruit in the souls of his hearers.

Prayer Request for Nellie the Dog

From Carol on Facebook:

Please pray for my precious dog Nellie, who will be having kidney surgery on Thursday. Thank you!

Urgent Prayer Request for Sasha the Dog

From Jeana: 

Sasha is our  13 year old Husky. She has been with us since we picked her up from the pound in April 2001 when we fell in love with her curled up in a ball shaking because she was so scared. I have enjoyed almost 11 years of walking with her 3 miles a day 5 days a week.  Although she has slowed down a bit she has always been eager to go for her walk.  Mother's day weekend we took a camping trip and she over did it causing her to not be able to lift her tail because she was sore. Memorial weekend she strained her leg worse while visiting my in-laws. The next day we attempted a 3 mile walk and she lost her footing ans slipped off the curb. Since then she has been having trouble walking the three miles so we cut it down to 1 1/2 miles and eventually just around the block. The vet had given her a steroid to help with the inflammation and pain. Her last pill was this past Saturday the 9th. By Sunday night the 10th she was starting to have some mild pain again and last night, after laying in the sandbox, her favorite spot, for 3 hours she had trouble getting up the stairs. At about 1:30 this morning she tried to get up off the hardwood floor and it took her 1/2 and hours of trying before I was able to help her get up because she wanted lay next to our 5 year old son Joseph's bed - her spot since we set up the cradle before he was born as if she is protecting him. We haven't brought her into her vet yet as he is on vacation but we plan on it as soon as he returns but that isn't until June 30th.  We are bringing her in to a different vet tonight to try to make her comfortable until the 30th. Please pray that we are able to keep her comfortable so a drastic decision does not have to be made until we can see the vet we trust.  

 

Thank you,

Another Patron Saint for Animals - St. Joseph of Cupertino

Saint Joseph of Cupertino

 Picture source

The other day I finally watched the old movie The Reluctant Saint with Maximilian Schell.  It was during the scene when the bishop visits that we see that St. Joseph of Cupertino loved animals, especially the stable animals.  I won't give the scene away as I hope you will watch this delightful movie for yourselves.

The following  are stories of this wonderful saint and his special connection to animals:

Along with this went a power over nature, over the birds and beasts of the field, surpassing even that of his Father, St. Francis of Assisi; and Joseph used his power playfully, as St. Francis used it. There was a convent of nuns not far from the monastery, where Joseph sometimes called for alms. One day, when they had been good to him, he told them with a laugh that in return for their kindness he would send them a bird to help them in their singing. The next time they went to office, in flew a sparrow by the window. All the time they sang he sang too, when the office was over he flew away again. And so it happened every day, morning and evening the sparrow was there, as regular as any nun. But one day a sister, passing him by, gave him a push 'with her hand; the sparrow flew out at once and did not return any more. When next Joseph came to the convent, the sisters told him that the sparrow was gone, but they did not tell him the reason.

"He is gone, and quite right," said Joseph; "he did not come to you to be insulted."

However, he promised he would make amends to the sparrow; and in due time he appeared again, and joined in the office as before.

But that does not end the story of the sparrow. He would become so familiar that the nuns could play with him; one of them tied a tiny bell to his foot. All went well till Maundy Thursday; on that day he did not appear, nor during the rest of Holy Week. When Joseph called on Holy Saturday to receive his Easter offering, they told him the sparrow had gone.

"No wonder," answered Joseph, "I gave him to you to join in your music; you should not have made him a bell-ringer. Bells are not rung during these days of Holy Week. But I will see that he returns."
And he did. The sparrow returned, and did not leave again so long as Joseph remained in the neighborhood.


"...One Saturday Joseph went to the chapel as usual, and found not a soul there. It was harvest time; shepherds and villagers were out in the meadows and had forgotten to tell him that that day they could not come. Joseph, knowing nothing of the reason, talked to himself about the fickleness of men in the service of God. As he spoke he looked down the valley in the distance. The sheep were in the fields, but there were no shepherds; only a few children to tend them. Joseph raised his voice.

"Sheep of God," he cried, "come to me. Come and honor the Mother of God, who is also your Mother."
Immediately the sheep all around looked up. They left their pasture, leaped over hedges and ditches, formed themselves into orderly companies, and gathered round Joseph at the chapel door. When all were assembled, Joseph knelt down and began:

"Kyrie eleison."
"Baa," answered the sheep.
"Christe eleison."
"Baa."
"Sancta Maria."
"Baa."

And so it went on till the litany was finished. Then Joseph stood and blessed his congregation; and the sheep went back to their pastures as if nothing unusual had happened..." Source of the foregoing EWTN

Updated Prayer Request - Cleo the Cat

From Jan:

ONCE AGAIN I'D LIKE TO ASK THAT PRAYERS COULD BE SAID FOR MY SISTER'S KITTY, CLEO. TEST RESULT FOR CLEO WILL BE IN TOMORROW, FRIDAY. HERE IS THE LATEST I HAVE ON SWEET LITTLE OLD LADY CLEO, FROM MY SISTER PHYLLIS:

Cleo is now on blood pressure meds as well as the thyroid. They're running tests to be sure she doesn't have bladder cancer. Poor kitty. She's lost a pound since the last time we were in. I'll hear from the Vet tomorrow. I just don't want her to be hurting...The sudden weight loss is what's really troubling me and there was still blood in her urine. The Vet checked her eyes and she thinks the loss of vision is from the blood pressure and that can be stopped (might not get better) with the bp meds.

Tragic News - Frankie the Dog

From Lou Ann:

I am so very sad to report that I received very disturbing news from my New England friend, the gentleman who was working so very hard to intervene on behalf of the St. Bernard, Frankie, who was in a very troubled environment. After much legal goings on, it was determined for Frankie to be removed from his owner. My friend and his advocacy team were ready and in the process of placing Frankie in a new welcoming home. Sadly he received word today that Frankie's owners had him euthanized. The folks who were working so hard for Frankie are devastated. Prayers for these folks, and for Frankie, would be deeply appreciated. A very dark day indeed. Thanks so much, Esther, and all the Prayer Warriors. always,

Urgent Prayer Request for Sandy the Dog

From Joshua:

Would you please be kind enough to add my Boxer Sandy to the prayer list. I took her to an emergency vet clinic last night. They found a lump near her spleen. When they went to remove it, before they put her under, her heart stopped, and she stopped breathing. They brought her back and did the surgery, but right now she is not out of the woods yet. Please pray with me that Sandy will be ok and back to me full of life and energy. Thank you,
