Sad News: Lucy the Dog, Good News: Duncan the dog

From Jenn:

I wanted to thank you for offering a place for those of us with missing or hurt companions to go for prayer requests. It really did help me not turn into a basket case yesterday. Duncan, my chocolate lab, was found last night. We picked him up from the animal shelter this morning. However, my baby girl, Lucy, was hit by a car or truck this morning/last night. I had raised her from birth, as her mother is my yellow lab (Samantha). While we are so very grateful that Duncan has returned to us, we are so completely sad that Lucy was lost. I believe that when my time comes I will be reunited with all of the pets I have lost, but for now I must make the painful journey alone. Thanks once again,

Anonymous said...: Oh Jenn, I am truly so very sorry to learn of your Lucy, even though we've not ever met my heart is breaking with yours. God Bless Duncan and please give him a hug for me. A special thank you to the Saints and Holy Ones for his safe return to your loving arms.
I cannot begin to imagine the sadness that has veiled your loving home and God Bless each of you.
I am so very glad you found Esther's most special site here - it is a very precious place.
My deepest condolences to you and your husband, and Lucy's Mama, Samantha, and Lucy's other special pals at your home.
Yes, Jenn, too, I agree with you and believe you certainly will be reunited in Heaven with each of your precious 'babies'/companions who entered the Holy Gates before you. I believe this with all my heart.
Jenn, I have whispered to my own Dad in Heaven this very sad news of your Lucy and I know he will watch for her and please know he will have a special hug and pocketful of treats for your special girl.
I know the loss is so very crushing right now but I also believe Lucy will find a very special way to let you know she is very much with you in spirit.
Warmest hugs and all my prayers for you and yours at this difficult time.; December 29, 2012 at 12:04 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.
