Cowboy needs your Prayers

Susie, it’s so sad but true that most of our animal companions don’t live nearly as long as we do, even if they enjoy perfect health and live to a ripe old age.

The only thing I find gives me comfort, sometimes, is knowing that our pets don’t anticipate dying. They live blissfully centered on the here and now of their daily lives. So it makes sense to me that what probably matters most to our cherished pets is the daily love, affection, and care we give them. As long as they have that, nothing else really matters.

We cannot control how long they get to share our lives, beyond a certain point. You do the very best you can for them, and nobody has any right to expect or ask anything more of you.

I love my cats while I have them, and cherish the warm memories after they’re gone. It’s so terribly hard to lose them, especially the ones that have carved out an especially large place in my heart! But no matter how much I love them, I can’t keep death from coming for them. All I might be able to do is delay that inevitable day from arriving.

Dear, sweet Susie, you’ve done so very much for your beloved kitties! I hope it’s not Cowboy’s time, but I know you’ve given him every measure of love, care, and attention that you could. Don’t ever doubt for a minute that Cowboy doesn’t appreciate such beneficial acts of kindness. He does, and if he could thank you with words, he would.

I strongly hope he pulls through this rough patch, and that you get to enjoy many more years with his unique, loving purrsonality.

anncetera, that was so beautiful. Thank you for that! Karen, I’m glad Susie has a sister like you! Susie…let’s wait to see what the vet says…”don’t put the horse before the cart” or “don’t go borrowing trouble”…{{hugs}}

I definitely couldn’t say it better than Karen and anncetera. So I’ll just say my prayers are with you and Cowboy.

yes thanks Anncetera and karin for putting it so well and my prayers are with you and Cowboy,Susie.

Joan, how are you doing? Have had you and Shaddo on my mind. Susie, asking and praying for you to have more time with Cowboy. Take comfort that he knows he is loved. And hugs to you.

Joan, as you know you aren’t grieving alone. I hope that helps a bit. I do feel for Shaddo and HM’s Maverick, and others in similar situations. And “they” say animals don’t have feelings!

Joan I wish I was there to give you a hug right now. My heart is aching for you and I’m fighting to keep my eyes dry. ((hugs))

Susie.. any update from the vet?? Curious as a cat here…

Oh Susie!; 🙁

I’m praying your Cowboy receives the healing blessing he so desperately needs.You said God seems to be ignoring your prayers,but I suspect that’s not so. Quite often He uses the prayers of others close by,and in that case,has heard your’s loud & clear.He continually tests every one of us,refining our faith in Him. Cowboy has a big support group petitioning on his behalf and that pleases Him. We’re all behind you,Susie,please know that! 🙂

Susie, and everyone else who is grieving, please open your hearts to the positive, healing energy I am sending. I think we have all walked in your shoes at some time in our lives. Having an ill or dying pet is one of the hardest things to endure.

Here is a group {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}} to all who want it, and if I could be there physically, I would be holding you and comforting you.

Peace, hugs and purrs,

Bobbi
