Oh, Terry! My heart breaks for your loss and I cried for your sorrow! Thanks for sharing your experience and your incredible faith and hope.  And thanks for appreciating our experience. That means a lot and reminds me that we really are all here to walk with each other back home.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine, Karen Lambert, posted your blog to my Facebook page (Jul 13th) after I earlier posted a public request for prayers for my miniature pinscher, Chester who was about 12 years old. At recent checkup at his vet, everything looked really great except for an uti which he was sent home with antibiotics to treat with orders to return 2 weeks later for a recheck. I felt impressed then to have his lab work checked as well since it had not been done since last fall. He had signs of kidney renal failures and his breathing sounded odd to the vet. I made an appointment after the 4th of July weekend to have her check with an xray and she noticed his liver looked larger than it has before. His heart still looked enlarged as it did back last fall. They never heard any heart murmurs or any other sounds that were abnormal. I went to have an ultrasound done from a specialist that really did not explain his odd breathing. He was still being active - eating, drinking, etc.. Excited to go out, to the dog park, Chick-fil-a, etc. On Friday, July 17, half-hour after I got back from picking up my roommate from work, he started to act like he did not know where he was, wandering around the house. He went downhill rapidly from there. His heart was racing, I heard gurgling sounds from his lungs (I was listening through my own stethoscope). I was terrified and heart broken all at the same time. I knew it was time to say &quot;see ya later&quot;  to my little buddy who has been there for me over the past 11 years. We even gave him a priesthood blessing, but I knew it was time. On Saturday afternoon, my roommate, myself and Leo (boxer lab) went in to end his suffering. We did take him to Chick-fil-a for one last chicken, to his favorite dog park, as well as his home. Even Pet Smart was his favorite place to visit. 

It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I held him in my arms as the drugs were administered. It hurts so much. Thank you for your experience that you had! I know I will see him again because of the Savior&#039;s gift to the world. When I feel down and depressed, I say a prayer to Heavenly Father to help me get through this and that Leo will be okay.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My dearest Delisa, I love every word you have written. I am saddened by the reason for your writing and pray that by sharing you can heal quickly from this sense of loss. 

I prayed to Heavenly Father tonight that heaven will be filled with ALL of those who were so dear to us in our earthly lives. I have wept today as I held a tiny baby bird in the palm of my hand as it returned home to Heavenly Father. It was so tiny. Much more tiny than the other 4 sparrows in the nest. It had fallen or been pushed out of the nest 3 times and had fallen onto the neighbor&#039;s cement porch from the nest that had been built over the top of the porch light. It had fallen 3 times. I had carefully put it back in nest  twice but this time it was so badly injured I took it home to cuddle it and hopefully comfort it for it had to be in pain. I felt horrible pain for God&#039;s tiny helpless creature. 

I am so grateful for the plan of salvation. I testify it includes Stig and Wellington and Lola and the tiny baby bird. I&#039;m counting on meeting then again someday when I return home. In the meantime I&#039;d better &quot;shape up and fly right&quot; if I&#039;m going to have the privilege of seeing them again.]]></description>
