Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Ahhh Joyce, I think baptizing your pets is a sweet gesture. God knows your heart and intentions! I'll share some of my weird thinking with you. I think these gestures are ways the Holy Spirit speaks to our heart to make a connection with God...He knows what sparks us.... MamaSher; 71, IPF 3-2006, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Re: Prayers requested Your "Cassie" will be in my Prayers. No matter what I am faced with, no matter how bad my disease. I cant help but to have a spot in my heart for helpless animals. Give "Cassie" a big hug from me....MirandaLA / 28yrs oldIPF 05>> I feel so foolish asking for your prayers for my wonderful sweet minpin, Cassie. I know how sick so many of you are it seems like such a bad thing to ask form you. My sweet Cassie was brought to the vet for a Senior exam and blood work and the vet called today and asked me to bring her back as soon as possible to have her blood drawn for another CBC. The last test showed something abnormal in her red blood cells but can't remember what and she had very few platelets. My vet said she has only seen this abnormal blood test in a screening blood test once before many, many years ago and she wants to make sure it isn't a lab mistake before she prescribes prednisone for her. Prednisone is so terrible for CAssie because she is so overweight now! She weighs 23 pounds and she is supposed to weight 12 pounds and the use of this drug will be so hard on her-and me! I will have to cook for her and make sure her diet is devoid of too much fat and find things she can eat to squelch her prednisone appetite. But failure to treat will be her death. So, I am asking for prayers that the lab made a mistake. Thank you, Joyce Rudy AZ birds> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I love this site and the people on it. I love the way you think about your pets, I'm the same way. I have an old schnauzer, I often wonder if she dies if I'll be able to get anotherdog because of this disease, Guess I'll have to wait and find out....This time I'll get a rescue, I don't have the energy for a puppy lol <FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#40007f size=3> Soulliere & nbsp; <IMG src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/50.gif"></FONT> To: Breathe-Support Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 4:30:14 PMSubject: Re: Re: Prayers requested/ sher Ahhh Joyce, I think baptizing your pets is a sweet gesture.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ....I'd get an older dog or maybe go back to a cat again... Love cats but Rich is not too fond of them. I'm off to watch the golf for awhile.... Tiger is falling way back. MamaSher; 71, IPF 3-2006, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Some cities/towns have a "blessing of the pets" on St. Francis Day. I always thought that was a wonderful thing. I have two cairn terriers, and my husband says that, if I had to make a choice, he'd lose. I think he's right!! B Barbara McD PF--Sept 08; Sjogren's--Apr 09; Reynaud's--seems like forever Beautiful Western NC Attitude is everything.

They seem to put their animals down for no reason and I just can't do that. If my cat started to pee on my bed, I would close the door to my room, I wouldn't put her down! I just don't understand how easily they can do that- have a beloved pet for 11 years and just kill them because they have become inconvenient for them. I even baptize my dogs! I am Catholic and they have holy water in the entrance to the church and I get some and bring it home and when I get a new sweet dog, or bird, I baptize them- though I don't think that they are in sin so it is completely unnecessary. ..it just makes me feel better.
