This is a wonderful tribute: This is a wonderful tribute which resonates very closely to my heart at this time, as we very nearly lost our chihuahua, Zoey. She is about fourteen years old, and she is slowing down rapidly. However, my daughter, an RN, suggested several things we could do to try to help her, and it appears that our prayers have been answered and her passing has been (however temporarily) postponed. We know it will happen someday soon; but today is not that day, for which I thank and praise the Lord.
Thank you for posting this great tribute to Puppy.

Today, I had one of those "mystic moments" while listening to the hymn, "The Church's One Foundation" on YouTube. It was like looking at a puzzle being assembled, I saw what I must do or change, and what I must omit. I am still a little shaken up, but also very grateful that God reached across the Cosmos to personalize this day for me.
