PRAY FOR MAX

I want to take just a minute to write about Max, our dog, who looked at us with sad eyes yesterday morning when he realized that there were spots, once again, on the carpet and his chair, and perhaps, especially sad because he would have to, once again, have a bath!  He has been at the Vets now for the second day, and they think he is doing well.  We will speak with them once again today and probably pick him up later this afternoon.  He has done well at the vet's.


Now, it will be just the question of what we can feed him so he does not erupt later all over the house. He definitely had some trouble with his pancreas, as the food digested way too loosely.  At least that is what we have been told.



So, he will probably be given a better diet and one that we can follow with ease, as the time we tried to follow the medical advice had been difficult for us and for him.  So, we pick him up today at 400pm unless we hear from them again.  It will be so good to have him home again.


Yesterday, Jerry had taken a short nap, and when he awoke he said, "Where's Max?"  Just for a moment, his thoughts had gone to an earlier time, and we both felt sad at the loss of our little dog.  Still we were grateful this morning as we  both slept until 7:30, an hour later for me, as usually, Max and I would be up and awake by 6 or 6:30!  We sat and remembered earlier different moments with Max this morning after our morning coffee, and I thought of how sad he looked at what a mess we had to clean up, as if he was saying, "I didn't mean to do it!" And of course, we knew that, for it is rare for an animal to be sick  on purpose!


So later today, we should know if we get to bring him home or if he has to stay one more day at the vets.  Whatever day he comes home, I am hoping they will give us some meds for diarrhea, just in case!!


Thanks for your prayers for Maxie.  Will do the same for you, if you leave a need for me to read.  We pray for you--all of you--anyway, as someday, somehow, these messages will get through to someone who needs God, like Jerry and I do. Maybe those sprayers will last until that day, even if that day is far away!


Love,
