Our pets are like our children...

If your not an animal lover you may not understand the above title. Our pets (mine are dogs) have a way of wrapping themselves around your heart. The Lord knew when he made animals that they would give us comfort, support, companionship, fun but most of all unconditional love. We love our pets almost as much as our children & they become a very important part of our family. They don't require anything of us. They are always glad to see us. You may not understand this but when our animals are sick its just like our children being sick. We want to make them better. I can not imagine having a sick pup & not being allowed to see them. This post is for Monica & Gracie. Monica took Gracie to the vet hospital on Tuesday because she was sick. They did MRI, surgery & Gracie is in ICU. Monica has not been allowed to see Gracie since Tuesday. How cruel to them both!!!! They need to be able to love on one another. Monica also needs to be able to talk to Gracie (who btw is probably scared & wondering where Monica is) & let Gracie know that she's there waiting on her. I remember when Sable (our chocolate lab) was hit by a car. She had to have surgery & a few days stay at the vet. We were allowed to see her & let her know that we still loved her & were waiting until we could take her home. This also helped her recovery. Hang in there Monica & Gracie, we are praying for you! Yes I'm praying for a dog because the last time I checked they are one of God's creations too. BTW we prayed every night for Sable & she made it!
