This may seem like an odd request but to an animal lover it will be easy to understand. My border collie, Galloway, is 9 1/2 years old and I love him dearly. Today I was petting him and I found a lump on his left side about 3"behind his front leg. So we are off to the vet tomorrow. Please pray that it turns out to be nothing serious. He and I have been through some tough times together and he has taken care of me. He is very special.
AWWWW! I am so sorry that he has a problem. I am praying for both of you. I know how much he means to you and that he is your very special care giving dog when you have your physical problems. I have never known his exact training but I do know that he is terribly important to you for that and for many other reasons. I do hope and pray that he will be ok. My last dog had one of those when she was old and it turned out to be ok and they just removed it. I pray that will be the case with him. Please let us know what the vet says.
I took Galloway for his appontment with the vet yesterday. He was very well behaved. Galloway was good too. LOL There was nobody else in the office so we were able to go straight into a room. The vet came in and was glad to see us. We visited for a bit and then he checked Galloway's side. I don't need to tell you I was holding my breath. After no more than a few seconds he looked up and smiled. The news was good. The lump is nothing to be concerned about. It is called a lipoma and many older dogs get them. It is simply an encased portion of fat in the subcutaneous tissue. The vet said if it ever starts to bother Galloway we can have it removed. I was so relieved and thankful to God for answered prayers. Thank you all for praying for my best friend. He means the world to me.
That lipoma was exactly what my old dog had. I remember being quite relieved when I found that it wasn't cancer. How wonderful that Galloway will be ok. I bet both of you were quite excited when you left the office. Loved the line about the vet being well behaved! Tee hee!
NO not at all. I think all dog lovers pray for their best buds. _________________ You might be a dog lover if: There are more dog toys than people in your bed.
The Bible tells us to pray about all things. I certainly consider our best buddies important enough to pray about.
Example: My cat has had a lot of difficult and very expensive health problems for a long time. Only when my vet's technician, a very godly woman, started praying earnestly about this did solutions began to emerge for my poor little kitty's problems. I called her immediately when this started to occur and told her that I knew that she must be praying for this situation and she readily admitted that she had been. Thank the Lord for caring and loving Christian friends! Isn't our Lord that we gladly serve daily wonderful?
Isn't it humbling to know that God loves us so much that whatever is important to us is important to Him? When others put us off and dismiss our worries as trivial, God never does.
I need to ask for prayers for my best bud again. He is limping badly on his right front and I think it is in his shoulder. I don't know if he may have slipped on the ice when he went out or if it is his arthritis. He is in pain and looks up at me pitifully. Please remember him in your prayers. Thankyou.
