An update and a request

My goodness! It's been a month since I last posted in my blog!

Not a lot going on in my puppy dog world. I keep hearing Mandy talking about going on a trip...and leaving me behind with Shawn. I'm not too happy about that! I want to go too!!

I want to play rope with Shawn, but he tells me that my rope is broke. Silly Shawn. My rope isn't broke! I guess I just need to prove it to him by throwing my rope at him. :D

Speaking of Shawn, when he came home from work yesterday, I was sleeping on the sofa under a heavy blanket his mom crocheted. I could hear him, but I couldn't run to meet him at the door. I was stuck! He had to help me out of the blanket. I could hear him laughing a lot as he told Mandy about it. I am so embarassed.

I have a puppy prayer request. Mandy's friend Carrie has a treasured family member named Oki. Oki is 10 and has Degenerative Myelopathy. On Monday, Oki's family will be with him as he takes his final breath. :( Please pray for Oki and his loving family. If you can, also light a candle for Oki. Here is the candle ceremony:

THE MONDAY CANDLE CEREMONY

WE GATHER TOGETHER TO HONOR AND REMEMBER OUR PETS

Tonight, Monday, we join hands, hearts and souls across the land as one large extended family to pray for our sick and dying pets and to pay tribute to our furbabies who have gone ahead to Rainbow Bridge.
Someday, we will meet them again, with hugs, tears and kisses, as we walk together, in eternity, to our new home.
Until that blessed day, we honor these precious souls and remember them with the warm glow of flickering candles, sending a message of love, light and healing, and the faith to believe in miracles.

PRAYER: God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who are tending their ailing pets.
Give to them Your strength and comfort.
We also pray that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to surround our furbabies at the Bridge.

May excitement REIGN SUPREME as wagging tails, ecstatic purrs and flapping feathers feel our gentle touch once again.
May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered.
We are temporarily separated for only a short while.
The silver cord that connects us through time and space can never be broken.

AMEN.

candle CANDLE 1: PERSONAL FURBABY. Anything you wish to say.

I will not look back for there is sorrow.
I will not look for today for there is longing.
I will look forward for there is OUR tomorrow.

candle CANDLE 2: FURBABIES OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Read the names of those who are ill or have gone on before us as a tribute to them and their loving parents.
As we all meet here, our Bridgekids will be meeting all newcomers, easing their way.

candle CANDLE 3: FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND PEACE

In honor of all the homeless, forgotten, abandoned, abused animals.
For the nameless furchildren who gave their lives for others, for research and as a result of humankind's inhumanity.
May the Higher Powers that be forgive the cruelty.
We light this candle for them.
As our lights shine brightly through the galaxy, may the angels smile upon us, and know that for a brief moment, we have put aside worldly differences to bond as ONE.

CLOSING:
I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay.

MOMENT OF SILENCE.

"Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted."

Love, light and healing to all. Amen.

The candles being lit tonight;
Cast a soft and welcome flame.
And draw our loved ones to the light,
As we call to them by name.
Imagine spirits taking flight,
For a moment our souls entwine.
Say not Good Night, but in some
Brighter Time
Bid them all-
Good Morning.
