Need Doggie Prayers

I think I've mentioned that one of our dogs has been limping. Mom and I took him to a veterinary neurologist this morning. He's undergoing an MRI.

He may have a very rare nerve sheath cancer.

It may be in his spine.

They may not be able to do anything about it.

We will find out in about 3 hours. He's the youngest of all of our dogs - he's 8. He's the only male pet I've ever had. I refer to him as our "baby boy". Out of the 3 dogs R and I have had together, one other one is still with us and the third one died several years ago of congestive heart failure when she was only 6.5 years old.

All I can keep thinking is "Are we destined to lose every creature we love like a child at an early stage? Does God really hate us that much?" 7 dead babies, 1 dead dog, possibly another.

I'm not coping well. And somehow, I have to pull myself together enough to attend a work meeting (thankfully over the phone rather than in person) in two minutes.

Oh no! We went through something similar with our daughterdog last year, and now our 13 1/2 yo boy dog is on pred for his spine related limping. I'm totally into praying for our furry babies. Hope you get "fixable" news.

I am so sorry!!! Our dogs are our babies (and will remain so even if human babies are in our future), so I just can't imagine. Prayers to you and your poor doggie.

I am so very sorry. Thinking positive thoughts. We have some tough decisions to make with our geriatric dalmatian. It's just so hard. Thinking of you and your pup!
