Dear Friends,
We love our our furry, funny little animal companions who love us dearly and unconditionally. We lost our little grand-doggie, Zoe, yesterday. My daughter is grieving and we are too. We all loved that little girl and know she is back in her true home as her true nature, happy, healthy and bouncing around again. There is a void in our hearts, because we miss her. Knowing we will see her again, since life is eternal, is reassuring. Those of you who have lost beloved pets may appreciate these pet blessings/prayers.

Come With Me
-Anonymous
God saw he was getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around him
And whispered, “Come with me.”
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

The Creation
-Author Unknown
When God had made the earth and sky
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees.
And when at last He’d finished
not one was quite the same.
He said, “I’ll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.”
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said, “Dear Lord,
there’s not one left for me.”
Kindly the Father said to him,
“I’ve left you to the end.
I’ve turned my own name back to front
and called you dog, My friend.”

Lovingly,
Abigail and Steve
