  January 11, 2015 Pup of the week: Prayers Needed
  
  I have only
  one New Year’s resolution for 2015.
  Unfortunately it is one I have no control over: I want to do less swearing in of friends who
  crossed over the River of Life this year than I did last year. But I have been inundated with prayers for
  pups and parents in the first ten days of this year and the only way to make my
  resolution a reality is to get even more prayers. I would gladly spend all day flying prayers
  up to the Big Guy if I didn’t have to swear in any pups or parents this
  year. So what we need is prayers. Lots and lots of prayers. Especially for the following pups and
  parents.
  
  I don’t know
  how many of my DS friends remember Jake the Shih Tzu. He has not been very active on the site
  lately but his Mom is a good friend of ours on The Facebook. She recently took sick and the doctors began
  to run all sorts of tests on her and the results were very troubling. She has a tumor on her spine and is starting
  chemotherapy. She has a very long and
  difficult road in front of her and is going to need every single prayer and
  good thought so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Just as a parent should never outlive a child
  a dog should never outlive a parent. If
  you would like to send her a card you can send Bentley or Pokey a PM for the
  address.
  
  Speaking of
  Pokey he is going to be 14 this year and he is slowing down like all older dogs
  do and needs some prayers to keep the old legs and heart pumping. And his Mom has had more healthy problems
  than the population of a small Polynesian island. Back problems, arm problems, leg
  problems. If it supports weight and
  bends it is causing her pain. Please
  says prayers for many more healthy days for Pokey and for his Mom’s pain to
  ease so she can live the normal life that has eluded her for so long.
  
  We have been
  asking for prayers for Nigel for some time now as he still is suffering from a
  bad heart so please keep them going.
  This past week his Dad David spent several days in the hospital with
  terrible back pain and a high fever that baffled his doctors. Nigel’s poor Mom was nurse maid to her
  husband then running home to be nurse maid to Nigel. As of this writing Nigel’s Dad is back
  home. The doctors have determined he has
  a viral infection of unknown origin and both he and Nigel need some prayers to
  get, and stay healthy.
  
  Another pup
  with heart problems is Paco our friend from Italy. Each time he goes to the vet we receive news
  that his heart is growing weaker. But
  Paco is a fighter who desperately wants to stay with his Mom, especially at
  this time when her own Mom is very ill and needs our prayers. So please included sweet Paco and his
  Grandmom in your prayers.
  
  Our friend
  Max’s grandmom needs some prayers for good health too. Some of you may remember her as Ladybug’s
  Mom. We aren’t sure of her specific
  medical issues but we know they are serious and any help she can get will be
  greatly appreciated.
  
  Our friends
  Chelsea and Ashton’s Mom took a fall on the stairs this week. She is from Texas and as you know everything
  is bigger in Texas so it must have been a bad fall. Please send prayers her way.
  
  Our good
  friend, the Triple T’s Mom, Aunt Linda, is trying to take positive steps to
  improve her health by stopping smoking.
  This is one of the most difficult tests a human can undergo. She’s determined to make it but she is going
  to need lots of positive prayers and pup energy.
  
  Also needing
  prayers is Daisy Mae’s Mom who is currently quite sick and is on oxygen. We don’t know the specifics of her disease
  but know that she too needs all the prayers and positing pup energy she can get
  to get over this illness.
  
  And we still
  have plenty of pups in need of prayer whose parents are healthy, but very
  worried about their beloved babies including Smoochy, who is still suffering
  from MRSA and now has an ear infection, MacDougal and Ju Ju who are still
  undergoing tests and Sandy who is recovering from a stroke. I am looking for lots of prayers for all of
  them.
  
  Please keep
  the prayers coming in. I would rather be
  flying prayers up the mountain for 1,000 dogs and humans than swear in a new
  member of the Bridge.
