Shady’s Last Days
If you could, please pray for my friend JB. His dog Shady is in her last moments/days. He has had her since she was a puppy and she is 18 years old — that’s a 126 in human years.
Over the past year we have discussed my experience with Abbey and Gracie. As we pondered, he wondered how he would deal with such a decision. Well it appears these days are upon him. Pray for him the same way I asked for myself about this time last year.
Please pray that she will either be healed and keep food down, or that she will “go to the Rainbow Bridge*” by herself peacefully in her sleep, or that the time will be clear for us to do what is sorrowful but must be done. (Turn, turn, turn.)

Well, I’m over at the Bennett’s now as they take Shady to the vet. In the words of Pa on Little House on the Prairie, “It’s a sorrowful thing, Half Pint.”

Thank you David, for dropping everything and coming at such a late time, and having a servant’s heart filled with compassion and sympathy I know you understand. You are a true friend. We love you brother.
