Prayers urgently requested, please.
One of our dogs is extremely ill. He has been in the hospital since Sunday. Please pray to St. Francis if you can, or send some good vibes for our little guy. Thank you, my dear friends.

It means a lot! 
It means so much to have support. This has been rough.
Our puppy is now recuperating at home and getting the best of care. A week ago, his prognosis was poor, but he has been discharged from the hospital with tons of meds and instructions. I am sure the worst is behind us. He is looking much brighter and is definitely happy to be home.
Thank you all for the concern and support for our family this past week. It meant so much to me to know your were pulling for him. This has been the week from hell.
Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season with many blessings. Thank you , dear DU friends.
