Prayer Request for Limo the Cat

From Cyndi:

Please pray for my beloved black cat, Limo -he was scampering about in the front yard Sunday afternoon,January 22nd and we haven't seen him since. I am so worried about him, he always sleeps inside in his bed and he takes meds twice a day for seizures. My prayer is for his safe return home to all of family who love him and miss him so much. But, my greatest prayer is that wherever he is that he is safe and inside out of the cold rainy weather being taken care of my someone who cares. I was so desperate last night I went online to find someone who has words of comfort, and I happened on your blog... it gave me such relief to be able to read the comments of so many others in my same sadness and grief I am feeling this moment, but also with so much hope from the sharing of others. Thank you , Esther... and I am thinking and praying for my Limo every night and saying a novena in his name and all our precious animals on your prayer requests. Have a blessed day.

Update on Holly and Noel the Dogs

2012-01-25T14:12:00.000-10:00

From Hallie:

Just wanted to send an update. I sent in prayer requests for my two dogs, Holly (a golden retriever) and Noel (a chihuahua) back in August (http://prayersforourpets.blogspot.com/2011/08/prayer-requests-for-holly-and-noel-dogs.html). Holly, who turned 8 in September, had to be put to sleep tonight. Her mouth cancer had grown to the point she was unable to eat and the pain pills weren't doing much for her. She died peacefully and quickly, with her head in my lap, as my mom, brother, and I surrounded her and loved on her for her final few moments of life. Please pray for us as we adjust to life without our sweet girl and start the awful grieving process. Also, please keep my 14 year old chihuahua Noel in your prayers as well. She has had some health scares while we were battling Holly's cancer and her age is against her when dealing with her health issues. We are really hoping not to lose our two girls back to back, so please pray that Noel will become healthy again, so that we aren't having to lose both of our sweet dogs, who are precious members of our family, within a short period of time.

Thank you!

Please keep Hallie in your prayers as she suffers the loss of her beloved Holly and for little Noel.

Prayer Request for Ursula the Cat

2012-01-24T11:06:00.002-10:00

From Evelyn:

My beloved 10 y.o. black cat, Ursula has been missing for over a week.
3 different animal communicators have said the same thing - she is
hiding and very frightened and that she is very close by. She has
renal failure and being away from food, water and supplements is not
good for her health. My prayers are for her to be brave and strong
and not be afraid to find her way home. She also has a job at home to
help me look after and entertain our dog and I need her help.
Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my (human) mother's death and 3
other beloved cats died this past year. My poor heart cannot take
much more. Thank you.

2012-01-20T11:52:00.002-10:00

From Ann:

Thank you so much. We got her blood results today and her white blood cells is really really low. I spoke to her vet in Manila and she said lily is in critical condition. Our biggest problem is, we are in the province and they dont have hospitals here. They only have clinics and the "vet" are just OJT students so they dont know anything. (im from the philippines by the way). Our vet from Manila gave us antibiotics and we are praying shes going to react positively to it. That is our only option as of now. Please continue helping us by praying. My daugther is only 6 years old, and dont know if she can handle loosing her sister "lily" at this early stage. The two are best friends... Thank you so much for all your prayers. We really appreciate it.:)

Please pray for my kitty maui to come home. He is my best friend- i tell him that every day. I found him in the street six years ago. He was too malnourished to move. When i picked him up, he began to purr a beautiful purr that has stayed with him ever since. He went out the back door tonight and my other kitty came back- maui did not. I just want my angel back. It's cold and he is just a little cat. My heart is shattered.

Horses, cows, chickens and dogs were just some of the creatures that took center stage at the Vatican today for the customary blessing of animals.

“We have around 30 horses and we chose one to bring here for the blessing of St. Anthony because it’s important, he helps them along in their lives,” said Elio Daffalu from Messina, Italy, while standing next to his blessed horse named Doria.

“He is the protector of animals and because we have a passion for horses, we always hope that St. Anthony will help them,” Daffalu told CNA.

We have a visit scheduled with a specialist next Tues and we are not giving up hope which is why we're calling for additional prayer warriors to help us.

Sad News - Mystee the Cat

2012-01-03T14:18:00.000-10:00

From Stephanie:

It's with a very heavy heart that I have to report that we laid my sweet Mystee to rest this past weekend. She was doing very poorly. I prayed to St. Martin last Thursday to let Mystee show us a sign when it was time to let her go. On Friday, about 2 hours before her appointment with the vet where we were going to get her another anti-inflammatory shot to hopefully give her another few weeks with us, my husband just happened to be sitting with her and was able to look into her mouth as she yawned and he said "we have to put her down, it's gotten so much worse that it's not fair to her." We quietly said goodbye to our sweet angel Friday afternoon. I will truly miss her but she will always be in my heart.

Please say a prayer for Stephanie as she mourns her beloved Mystee.

Mollie still needs many prayers. She is having a really tough time fighting IMHA. It is a horrible disease. She had her second blood transfusion yesterday and we have to go back to the emergency clinic tomorrow to have her blood checked. Hopefully she is stable or better yet, doing better tomorrow. I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, keep them coming our way please.

BTW, I asked Haley what exactly Mollie had: It is immune mediated hemolytic anemia. Her immune system is destroying her red blood cells before her body is able to make more. And her hemocrit level is way lower than it is supposed to be. I really appreciate it!! She seems to be fighting it and feeling a little better.

Saydee's Wonderful Update #Two

2011-12-31T15:33:00.000-10:00

From JL:

Your prayers are indeed helping. I took her to the vet a few days ago for an eye pressure recheck. The pressure came down all the way to 9 !! Last week when the first pressure was checked and when her eye was so painful and bulging it was a very high 53. At this pressure damage to the eye can occurs. I was completely in shock and thrilled when the vet told how far it came down. I think the vet was also surprised that the number dropped this low and this quickly.
She has not had anymore pain as far as I can tell except when I place the eye drops. She will close her eye for a few minutes and that is it. This left eye is almost the same size as the other. All the cloudiness is gone, the pupil is no longer large. The vet said is was almost hard to tell which eye is affected.

Saydee is back to her outgoing, happy, spunky and sassy self since Christmas Eve. She's playing with toys and back to being sassy with the other pets.

Please continue praying for her as this is proof that prayers work. She will be going to an Opthamologist in a few weeks and I want this vet to say that she doesn't see any signs of Glaucoma in either eye. I have been praying to St. Anthony, St. Lucy and St. Francis everyday several times a day. I asked for the pain to be taken away, the pressure to be lowered and the Glaucoma to gone and all health restored to her eyes. I thank you.

Urgent Prayer Request for Luffy the Dog...and Owner Shannon

2011-12-27T19:30:00.001-10:00

From Jan:

I have just now gotten an email from my daughter, Shannon, she has been reading your blog.

I sent her your email address so she could send you a prayer request for her dog, Luffy but I have been thinking about and praying for Luffy for sometime now and would like to copy/paste Shannon's email to you as a prayer request from me for Luffy and Shannon.

Here is her email, Esther: some nights now at the end of his day hopping about he cant get up due to his front leg being so misshapen i just pet him and say "its okay Luffy." I know its only weeks before the inevitable happens. (you know the shot) i didn't realize till the first night he couldn't move that his mind will be strong and fine like if i could take it out and put it in a new body he would be fine. very sad and makes me cry. i just feed him and love him and am glad it wasn't today.

Thank you so very much

Updated Prayer Request for Scruff the Dog

2011-12-27T15:42:00.000-10:00

From Nicole:

Blood work back...elevated numbers that can indicate kidney failure (from the trauma and shock of surgery at her age). Doc wants to keepher on an IV overnight to keep her hydrated and re-run labs tomorrow. Doc was concerned but relatively positive. He said he has seen much worse and if we can get her eating we may have a fighting chance. Michael and I truly appreciate all of your prayers and I believe that they are making a difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts...

Updated Prayer Request for Idea the Dog

2011-12-27T09:13:00.002-10:00

From Manoo: Many many Thanks... My Idea is doing much better now. Her tumor was remarkably reduced a week after you started the prayers & the vet was surprised to see that. At first, he could not even locate where the swelling was. The fluid oozing also stopped in the first week. Her arthritis looks better too as she is able to jump on sofas and beds now which she really could not.

Now, the problem is with her cough that happens mainly in the nights & goes on for 2-3 days at a stretch & then stops & comes again.

Please keep the prayers going for her as she is receiving them & feeling them. Please pray that her tumor does not return in the body; that arthritis, cough & other diseases also get cured & healed in Divine Light.

I once again thank you for praying selflessly for my Idea. May you be blessed too!

Much love & joy to you all,

I came across your blog while searching for prayers for my dog, Mollie. She was diagnosed with AIHA yesterday after she was unable to get up off her bed. She's normally bursting with energy so we took her straight to the vet. It's not looking good for her and she's currently undergoing a blood transfusion. Hopefully her medicines will start working. Any thoughts or prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Please pray for my little Scruff. Someone shot her with a pellet gun last week. She had to have surgery to remove two inches of her intestines, which were then reattached. She has survived a week, but is now refusing to eat. She has been with us a long time and does not deserve to go out because of this!

Thank you and God Bless.

Update on Saydee the Dog

2011-12-26T12:06:00.002-10:00

From JL: ...Christmas Eve she began to feel much better! She was finally getting out of her bed and so much more active. Her outgoing, happy, loving and sassy personality seemed to have come back. I could tell her one eye was no longer cloudy and as bulging and the pain was not so bad as she was keeping it opened.
Today she seems to continue improving. She is back to giving huggs and kisses! I am so very thankful.

I have been praying to St Anthony to preform a miracle on her. To take away the pain, the pressure and the glaucoma and not to go in to the other eye. I will pray to St Lucy as well.

Please pray for the safe return of my beautiful Ragdoll boy Ouija (Wee-Gee). Today is Christmas Day and he has been missing from our home since Tuesday. I have searched day and night and have only gotten a few hours sleep over the past several days. He is such a beautiful kitty so I hope no one has taken him. If they have, I hope they've cared for him until I can claim him. He is a strictly indoor cat and I am so worried. He has all of his claws but is such a sweet baby. Our house isn't a home without him. Please pray for his swift and safe return home !

Urgent Prayer Request for Toby the Dog

2011-12-22T12:35:00.002-10:00

From Ronald:

Thirteen years ago this month (December) I was blessed with a little ball of white fluff whom I named Toby. This blessing was bestowed upon me completely by chance as I was walking past a pet shop and noticed him sitting there, staring at me through the glass. His little stare seemed to go straight to my heart. It was love at first sight and he has been my loving and faithful companion since that day. He changed my life (for the better) in so many ways.

Throughout his life he has had many illnesses and has courageously fought through them one at a time. He is nicknamed the “miracle dog” at the veterinary clinic because of his fortitude. However he now has a heart condition that I fear will, soon, take him from me. I pray that he passes peacefully if that is God’s will. I pray that there is room in heaven for him and that the love and kindness he has shown to me be rewarded there.

Would you please say a prayer for my little "angel from heaven", Toby.

Respectfully yours

Zeb the Dog's Beautiful Death

2011-12-19T09:15:00.001-10:00

My friend Mary gave me permission to share her story about Zeb with you. Thank you for your kind comments and prayers for Mary.

My dog's name is Zeb. He pretty much died of old age. He hated the vets so I prayed that he would have a gentle death at home. The veterinarian had given us pain medication to ease his final days so he was pretty pain-free.

He died while I rocked him and prayed the Rosary. I asked Mother Mary to speed up his passing and I guess she certainly did because he died by the 3rd decade. Even though his death was expected I bawled for hours. Dogs are just so sweet and loving, I can't seem to resist them. Good thing Michaela was in school yesterday, I had no control over the tears and it would have upset her terribly. Thank you for offering to post his name on your blog - we will miss him so much. The puppy, Caesar, seemed to understand that Zeb was very sick and was very gentle with him at the end :)

Esther, I sure hope there are animals in heaven. Some say no but I think there are.

God bless!

Our family thanks God in all of his mercy for this out-come. We also thank you and your prayer warriors for your kindness and prayers. We will continue to pray for other pets and their people in need. Words cannot express our profound gratitude for prayers received. God bless you all.

He recently has had a tumor removed, a very aggressive tumor.

Please pray for my 6 year old dachshund Ferlitz. She had her back injury on Thanksgiving. I'm not sure what happened but she can't use her rear legs properly and won't go up/down the stairs since. She's been in strict cage rest for a week with strong steroids for anti-inflammation and paid meds but her condition did not improve when we took her back for her follow-up today. Her vet recommended for her to consult with a neurologist and set up an appointment with MRI to find out exactly what's wrong with my baby girl. She will see the neurologist tomorrow and will have an MRI and prayerfully, the result will not require back surgery. Please everyone I ask that you include her u your prayers and I also pray for all your pets and other family members who are sick or going through something. I really appreciate all the prayers.

The Power of the Dog

2011-12-09T17:15:00.000-10:00

One of my good friends in Hawaii shared the following with me. She said she has been wanting to do so ever since Coco died.

The Power of the Dog
by Rudyard Kipling

There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart to a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find--it's your own affair--
But ... you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-term loan is as bad as a long--
So why in--Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Please pray for my baby girl Ferlitz...she is a 6-year old long-haired dapple brown dachshund. She has injured her back while on my watch during Thanksgiving with family and since then she's been unable to walk properly and almost undergone surgery, but thankfully, her slipped disc on her lower back can still be fixed with strict rest and pain meds. I feel terrible that it was fault and it pains me to see her sick and sad. I miss her bubbly character, her wet kisses, sweet lovely face, etc. I appreciate all the prayers and thank you all in advance. I also pray to all animals that are suffering and sick. They are also God's creatures and should be treated kindly. God Bless!

Dear Friends of this blog:

I just wanted to say mahalo nui loa!!! I had been praying for and also asked for prayers that God would send me (my family) the right dog. We were hurting so much from Coco's death that I had to leave it in God's hands.

Well, we found the "right" dog! We adopted an older pup from our local humane society. We all fell in love with her almost from the time we spotted her.

She truly is perfect for our family. She loves us so much in such a short time!

Thank you again. And, please consider adopting a pet from the humane society. When I was searching for a dog, I was shocked at how many "owner surrendered" pets were there all begging for someone to take them home and love them.

From Staffy Jax's Owner:

Thank you to everyone for all your prayers for our dog Jax. As I said in my post a couple of weeks ago, we were told by the vet that if he didn't get better by the next day (Nov 25th) we would have no other option but to put him down. Jax continued to fight and slowly we started seeing minor improvements. Unfortunately it wasn't enough and yesterday we had to put him down. I just want to thank everyone for their prayers for Jax, it gave us an extra week and a half with him :-) I will keep all the other sick animal on this website in pray, hoping for their total and complete healing and if any owners unfortunately go through what we did then I pray that God will strengthen you and your family, they may be only 'pets' to some ppl but i know just how difficult putting down an animal can be.

Update on Pierre the Dog

2011-12-01T13:21:00.001-10:00

From Lou Ann:

Joan reports that Pierre's biopsies came back with no sign of malignancy, no cancer, and all the prayers so much appreciated! Special thanks to all here.

Please do continue prayers, however, as Pierre's accompanying surgery was rather extensive and the dear boy has quite a large incision to heal - making it somewhat difficult for him to navigate.

Also, Pierre does have inflammatory bowel disease, and the first meds. and diet change to treat this caused him to get very very sick on his stomach and hard to keep anything down until that settles. Poor little fellow!!

So continued prayers most appreciated for Pierre and Joan; and for Pierre's sister doxie, Peaches, for her Cushing's disease to remain in good control.

... the prayers are truly so appreciated. Joan can't thank everyone enough.

Many thanks,...!!

It is really good news that Pierre doesn't have cancer. Thank you all for your prayers.

Urgent Prayer Request for Idea the Dog

2011-11-29T08:59:00.001-10:00

"Idea"

From Manoo:

Idea, she is my 13 and a half years old dog. She had little bleeding on Sunday afternoon from one of her mammary glands. i took her to the vet yesterday morning & he said its tumor which can either be benign or malignant. He prescribed some anti biotics that I will give her 2 times a day for 5 days. And after that we again need to take her to the vet. He also told us to observe the condition as to how fast its growing and accordingly it will be treated. He might operate it. He said this will grow slowly but my dog is very uneasy.

My idea is sad and I saw little watery oozing with a little blood in it last night.

Idea had a major surgery for pyometra in Oct 2009 and her uterus was removed & after that she ha been doing fine. It was detected almost in the last stage. Another healing prayer group saved my Idea that time. I dont want to see her in pain or in a worse condition. Please pray so that the tumor is not malignant gets cured & that its does not spread in her body.

Also, she has arthritis & difficulty getting up, walking though she still is able to run & jump. She is very active inwardly & that shows in her actions too. Please pray for her so that she is free from this tumor & its ill effects and does not suffer.

Many thanks in advance,
