On Thursday, May 11, we unexpectedly lost one of our beloved members of our family. I came home from work that day to find Logan acting a little funny. I decided to take her to the vets just to be sure nothing was wrong. X-rays reveled a massive growth around her heart. Her lungs were filled with fluid and she was having problems breathng. The vet said she was in a lot of pain a didn't think she would make it through the night. We decided to put her to sleep. This is a lttle prayer I found on the internet; I found it to be very fitting.
Dear Lord, please open your gates and call St. Francis to come escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge. Assign her to a place of honor, for she has been a faithful servant and has always done her best to please me. Bless the hands that send her to you, for they are doing so in love and compassion, freeing her from pain and suffering. Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss. Help me remember the details of her lifewith the love she has shown me and grant me the courage to honor her by sharing those memories with others. Let her remember me as well and let her know that I will always love her. When it's my time to pass over into your paradise, please allow her to accompany those who will bring me home. Thank you Lord for the gift of her companionship and for the time we've had together. Thank you Lord for granting me the strength to give her to you now. Amen.
