My dog died yesterday....

Did you feed her that poisoned food? If so, call my office.

Prayer for a dog
by Phylis Feiner Johnson

Treat me gently beloved master, and I will love you with a full and happy heart.

Show me patience and I will learn to understand your every word and action. I will even protect you with my life if yours is at any time in danger.

Speak to me often, for your voice is music to my ears and I await even the simple sound of your footsteps, knowing soon you will be near.

Shelter me from nature's bitter cold and wet and I in return will warm your feet beside the hearth. Or, if life should be unkind, I will find a place of comfort for us both, for your pleasure is my dearest wish.

Play with me, for I seek your challenge just as I seek to please you. I will follow a thrown ball to the ends of the earth if you choose it and I will swim the seven seas just to see you smile.

Fill my bowl with fresh water and see that I'm well fed, for I cannot speak to ask you and am completely at your mercy. But my trust in you is so complete, I know you will never do me wrong.

And beloved master, when I grow old and the time comes to say farewell, hold me gently in your arms and I will go without a whimper. For with you I am safe and secure. A dog who gave love and received it with a grateful heart.

Sorry to hear that.

Is the other dog yours, too? How's (s)he holding up?

[Sonia_TX]

I'm sorry about that. We had to put our 14 year old Chi down last July. It still hurts. I'm sure your dog had a great life and loved every minute she got to spend with you.

[mrsmaalox]

So Sorry. Treasure your memories and know you made her life good.

[spurschick]

That sucks. My cat has been very sick for the past few weeks and appears to be headed in the same direction.

I'm sorry to hear that too. I had to put down my boxer almost 3 years ago...it still hurts and when I drive by the place where they did it, I can't look at it. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to be part of.

She will be 3 years old next month.... 'Ariel', the schnauzer that passed away, was her mother. They were really close, considering she was the only one of her litter that stayed with the mom. She's been 'depressed' these last few days...

Sorry to hear that. I love my dogs.
