ALL CREATURES, GREAT & SMALL IF YOU EVER NEED ME A BIRTHDAY POEM FROM THE DOG THE BOTTOM HALF My Best Friend |
THE CATS PRAYER A SHEPHERD'S PRAYER WHY OWN A DOG? DEAREST FRIEND PRAYER FOR THE HUNTING BREED |
PRAYER FOR ANIMALS God Our Heavenly Father, You created the world to serve humanity's needs and to lead them to You. By our own fault we have lost the beautiful relationship which we once had with all your creation. Help us to see that by restoring our relationship with You we will also restore it with all Your creation. Give us the grace to see all animals as gifts from You and to treat them with respect for they are Your creation. We pray for all animals who are suffering as a result of our neglect. May the order You originally established be once again restored to the whole world through the intercession of the Glorious Virgin Mary, the prayers of St. Francis and the merits of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns with You now and forever. Amen. -- Saint Francis of Assisi |

If ever you need me, I'll be right here, To chase away the sadness, And wipe away a tear. If ever you need me, I'll be two steps behind, To follow in your footsteps, And hear what's on your mind. If ever you need me, You'll never have to fear, That your presence isn't important, And your love isn't dear. If ever you need me, I'll always be around, to bring back the laughter, Where deep in your heart it's found. You'll never have to worry, For I'll always be here, To chase away the sadness, And wipe away a tear. I AM HERE FOR YOU! (even in spirit) ~author unknown |
You feed me when I'm hungry, You keep water in my dish, You let me sleep on anything, Or in any place I wish. You sometimes let me lick your hands, Or even lick your face, Despite the fact I've licked myself, In every private place. You taught me how to come when called, You taught me how to sit, You always let me go outside, So I can take a .... stroll. I've been with you through oh, so much, Through laughter and through tears, I hope you live to be a hundred... (that's 700 in doggy years.) Happy Birthday! unknown author

THE BOTTOM HALF I am the bottom half of mounted patrol team, The love from my partner, has fulfilled my dream. I was born to run wild, leave the danger that's near, But the strength on my back, says I've nothing to fear. I feel your hands and your legs, they help as you guide, It's your strength that sustains me, when I could run and hide. Your spurs sometimes tickle, you use them to nudge, Sometimes I sure need them, because I won't budge. The children, they see us, they squeal with delight, An Officer on horseback, what a beautiful sight! When I am on duty, I'm not allowed to eat, But just look at that grass, it's just under my feet. No one can describe it, this partnership and team, We'll work as one forever, I'll feel you in my dreams. The ride for now is over, the tack is recounted, I'll rest till that time, we again will work mounted. By Phil West |
Dearest God in Heaven Give me strength to guide my horse. Make my hands soft and my head clear. Let my horse understand me and I him. My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals. Let me never lose sight of it. My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them. as the sun gleams on an Elegant head. Always may my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker. Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain Always be sweet to me. Let the touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a smile. I adore the joy of a warm day on the farm. The grace and splendor of a running horse, the thunder of its hooves makes my eyes burn and my heart soar, Let it always be so. Dearest God grant me patience, For horses are harnessed wind and wind can be flighty. Let me not frighten or harm them, Instead show me ways to understand them. Above all, dear God, fill my life with them. When I pass from this world, send my soul to no heaven without them. For this love you have given me graces my existence, And I shall cherish it and praise you for it all the time. Amen |

If tears could build a stairway And memories a lane I’d walk up to Heaven And bring you home again. But since I have to stay behind Until God calls me too Donut be afraid my little girl That he's called for only you. You know it's hard you're not around Because you're in Heaven smiling down Watching me as I pray for you Every day I pray for you. Still at night I lie awake And ponder our bond that broke And wish you were here to dry my tears And rid me of my fears. Once I finally fall asleep With your blanket clenched to me I know that even though you're gone I feel were still a team. Until the day we meet again In my heart is where I keep you friend Memories give me the strength I need to proceed The strength I need to believe. And when my eyes no longer see Is when we'll cuddle again Once I enter Heaven's gates The gates you'll open for me. Until that day, You angel of mine I await beneath your wings Until it becomes my time. (author

Although I am too proud to beg, and may appear to be a very independent creature, I ask for your loving care and attention. I rely on you for my well being much more than you may realize. This I promise you, my benefactor, that I will not be a burden on you nor will I demand more of you than you care to give. I will be a quiet peaceful island of serenity for you to gaze upon; a soft soothing body to caress, and I shall purr with pleasure to rest your weary years. Since I am a gourmet who appreciates different taste sensations, I pray you will give me a variety of nutritious foods and fresh water daily. You know dear friend, how I love to go. Allow me, I pray, a warm sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure. If I am wounded in battle or suffering from disease, please tend me gently, and see that I am treated by loving and competent hands. Please protect me from the inhuman humans who would hurt and torture me for their own amusement. I am accustomed to your gentle touch and am not always suspicious nor swift enough to avoid such malicious acts. In my later years when my senses fail me and my infirmities become to great to bear, allow me the comfort and dignity that I desire for my closing days and help me gently in my pain or passing. Hear this prayer, my dear friend, my fate depends on you. (Unknown author) |

So do not grieve for me, my friend As I am with my kind. My collar is a rainbow's hue My leash is a shooting star My boundaries are the milky way Where I sparkle from afar. There are no pens or kennels here For I am not confined But free to roam God's heavens Among my shepherd kind. I nap the day on a snowy cloud And gentle breezes are rocking me I dream the dreams of earthing And how it used to be. The trees are full of liver treats And tennis balls abound And milk bones line the walking ways Just waiting to be found. There even is a ring set up The grass all lush and green And everyone who gaits around Becomes the "Best Of Breed". For we're all winners in this place We have no faults you see And God passes out the ribbons To each one--even me. I drink from waters laced with gold My world a beauty to behold And wise old dogs do form my pride To amble at my very side. At night I sleep in an angel's arms Her wings protecting me And moonbeams dance about us As stardust falls on thee. So when your life on earth is spent And you reach heaven's gate Have no fear of loneliness For here, you know I wait. Author Unknown
DEAREST FRIEND I lost my dearest friend today, No finer could be found. My love for you is utmost true, It has no endless bound. So hard to say, "Good bye" to you, Forever, trusting friend, I'll keep you in my memories, I promise till the end. (unknown author) |
There's a danger you know, You can't own just one, for the craving will grow. There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger. While living with lots you'll grow poorer and stranger. One dog is no trouble, and two are so funny. The third one is easy, the fourth one's a honey. The fifth one delightful, the sixth one's a breeze, You find you can live with a houseful with ease. So how 'bout another? Would you really dare? They're really quite easy but oh, Lord the hair! With dogs on the sofa and dogs on the bed, And crates in the kitchen, it's no bother you've said. They're really no trouble, their manners are great. What's just one more dog and just one more crate? The sofa is hairy, the windows are crusty, The floor is all footprints, the furniture dusty. The housekeeping suffers, but what do you care? Who minds a few nose prints and a little more hair? So let's keep a puppy, you can always find room, And a little more time for the dust cloth and broom. There's hardly a limit to the dogs you can add, The thought of a cutback sure makes you sad. Each one is so special, so useful, so funny. The vet, the food bill grows larger, you owe money. Your folks never visit, few friends come to stay, Except other dog folks, who all live the same way. Your lawn has now died, and your shrubs are dead too, But your weekends are busy, you're off with your crew. There's dog food and vitamins, training and shots. And entries and travel and motels which cost lots. Is it worth it, you wonder? Are you caught in a trap? Then your favorite dog comes and climbs in your lap. His look says you're special and you know that you will Keep all of the critters in spite of the bill. Some just for showing and some just to breed. And some just for loving, they all fill a need. But winter's a hassle, the dogs hate it too. But they must have their walks though they're numb and you're blue. Late evening is awful, you scream and you shout At the dogs on the sofa who refuse to go out. The dogs and the dog shows, the travel, the thrills; The work and the worry, the pressure, the bills. The whole thing seems worth it, the dogs are your life. They're charming and funny and off set the strife. Your lifestyle has changed. Things won't be the same. Yes, those dogs are addictive and so is the dog game!

Prayer for the "Hunting" breed I thank thee oh Lord, for the waters, and fields wherein lie the same birds I love to hunt. I thank thee also for the men who protect and preserve wildlife in all its forms so that future generations will have the healthful pleasures of hunting. My master means more than life or death to me, and I pray for intelligence, ability and strength to understand and execute his commands and desires. May our companionship lead to complete understanding so that our moments together will be the happiest of all. Help my master to comprehend that I will gladly give my life for him, be he millionaire or pauper. His love and confidence are all I ask. I beseech you to guide him and protect him from thoughts, deeds or actions which will disturb the faith of others in him. The wag of my tail indicates the feelings of my heart and no blows, deprivation or hunger will ever keep me from being happy when I hear my master's voice or footsteps. When the curtain of death are about to close my active life, I pray thee oh God, that my master be near, his hand caressing my head as my eyelids close. Amen |
