OT- Please say a prayer for my dog Pepper
Forums:
I know this is off topic, but I had to put my dog Pepper in the hospital. She has been real sick the last week I thought she was constipated, but she has not been eating or drinking and getting sick..very lethargic. I should have taken her sooner but again I thought she was constipated. She has pancreatis which means she can not digest her food because her pancreas isnt working correctly. She will be in the hospital for at least a week and on fluids and a catherter. She is only 7 years old schnauzer and a sweetie.
Please say a prayer for Pepper.
Thanks
Awww+++
I feel your pain. My fur babies are like my children (when they're not turning over the garbage can or tearing up things! lol). I love them dearly so I know how hard this is for you. I will say a prayer for Pepper and you too!
You got it

I'm so sorry about your little dog - I'm an animal lover and have two small furball Shih Tzu's. I just can't stand it when one of them gets sick. Since I have no biokids, these two little monsters are my kids - they're short,hairy, speech-challenged and walk on all fours and I love them to death - they've always been there for me when no one else was - just because they can't talk doesn't mean they don't understand when I'm sad or just need to chill. Pepper will be in my prayers, and you too!
Thank you very much for your prayers
I don't have no bio kids either and my doggies are my babies! She is in so much pain! I feel terrible for her. Doctor called this morning to say he didnt thinks he was gonna make it! :O
Then he called just now and said she made it through the night but still is in danger! I didnt have the three thousand dollars to save her but my mom stepped in and charged it!! Thank God for her!
"And this too shall pass..."
I'll say a prayer for an animal any day..
Animals are so loyal and faithful true friends/companions unlike some people. When all others have turned their back on you and your all alone your pet will always be by your side. I can't imagine going though life with out a loyal companion. Pepper will be in my prayers.

what you said - amen my friend.
Thanks Sarah! If you met my Pepper you
would love her! Everyone wants MY dog! She is more human than anything! I wish she could talk! I wish she could have told me that she wasn't constipated but REALLY REALLY SICK! But God willing she will pull through.
"And this too shall pass..."
all my good thoughts to Pepper
I had to put my best friend Dexter to sleep, he was the sweetest 12 year old baby that i ever had. he saw me thru my horrible marriage then divorce, he never stopped loving me even when everyone else did...my heart breaks for you I hope Pepper is able to pull thru.
"Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one."
Pepper is about to go in for surgery!
the doctor just called and her uterus has an infection?? He has to basically perform a hysterectomy!!! he says the prognosis is good and she should be out ina few days! YEAH! YIPEE!!
Thanks for the prayers!
there is no love like the love of a doggie!!
"And this too shall pass..."
Yippee to Pepper!
I'm **soo** very happy that things are looking better for you & Pepper!!! It's terrible, but I have more compassion for the furry 4 leggers than any kid any day (especially since I don't have any of my own) You guys hang in there, I'm so glad they figured it out & it's not as bad as once thought.
***We're too blessed to be stressed!***
Thanks Sherw I am so relieved! But I think
this is my fault too. I should have had her spaded!! I've been reading and it says a prevention would have been to have the dog spaded!
I'm a bad Mommy!

Pepper's song to Mommy....
You're a wonderful Mom to Pepper - don't blame yourself for what could've or should've been. It is what is is and you can't change that. You love her with all your heart and would have had her spaded IF you would have known. If Pepper could sing a humanly song, she'd sing this to you...
Because you loved me.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy that you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wing that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
***We're too blessed to be stressed!***
Thanks again sherw you got me cryin at work!
"And this too shall pass..."

This is really cute, and I have shared it with a few of you on ST, but I thought you all might enjoy it. Feel free to change the breed to whatever suits your furbaby.
However, a word of warning - when I posted this on myspace blog, my SD's swore I wrote it about them - lol!! They went crying and screaming to my DH & his family - none of whom ever even read the damn thing - but proceeded to ream me about what a horrible person I was to write this about the their precious kids and grandkids! I only wish I could take credit for writing it - it's really hilarious - (and true!)but one of my friends emailed to me in 2003 - long before I ever met my DH!!! Enjoy!!
The Shih Tzu Shuffle
Dear Dogs ~
When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.
The dishes with paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. (Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate & food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food & dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.)
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed; I am sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping - they actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. (I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.)
My compact discs are not Frisbees, nor are the Rubbermaid container lids.
For the last time, there is NOT a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. (In addition, I have been using the bathroom for years....canine attendance is not mandatory.)
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dogs butt. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.
Rules for NON-PET owners who visit and like to complain about our pets:
1. They live here; you don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on you clothes, stay off the furniture.
3. I like my pet better than I like some people.
4. To you it's an animal. To me he or she is an adopted son or daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and is speech challenged.
Dogs are better than kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about buying the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell the results.
This was great!!
Actually I have two dogs a West Highland terrier and my Schnauzer and YES they sleep with me and Yes they hog my King size bed!
And YES they are on my furniture and YES people complain..But you know what!! They are my babies and its my house and my bed and if you don't like you can leave!!
Great Post!
"And this too shall pass..."
Ah
Glad to hear your fur baby is on the mend. I have my little furry angel here by my side (cute little tabby cat). I had a chat with her earlier and told her about Pepper and how we had to send our love and positive thoughts so I hope we helped in some small way.
I do feel that fur-kind are connected. When my cat went missing 18 months' ago another neighbourhood cat used to come along and help us look for her - he was so sweet.
Good to hear I am not the only one that loves my fur baby best - probably even more than DH if I'm honest. LOL! Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than having kids. i sometimes say that if the only way I could have a cat was to give birth to it then I would. However, if it was kids at the end of the gestation then I would pass!!!
Pepper
I'll be happy to put Pepper on my prayer list. I hope things keep looking up!
