Been scared to even post this because it makes me have to accept it and make it more of a reality. My dog of nine years, miniature schnauzer, Sophie is deathly ill. We are not positive on what the reason is but she has dropped weight drastically and having other issues. Tomorrow I am taking her to the vet with possibility of euthanasia. This animal is more than just an animal. She is one of Gods creatures and has all the best qualities that even a human could have. Loyal, smart, compassionate, calm, and loving! This morning at church this verse spoke to me because I have felt guilty praying for my dog and for healing; while Christians are literally losing their heads for their faith and other terrible things to pray. (Of course Im praying for them also) Psalm 5:3 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. This spoke volumes to me pertaining to my love for my dog. He hears my prayer but I wasnt waiting with expectation because I had deemed this prayer unworthy. Thats a lie. Gods love is so much greater than I can fathom I have to know He hears my prayer and He will deliver. So... I am praying for clarity on what to do on putting her down or not! Its an awful decision to make. If you have ever known this awful decision please pray with me! Our family is heart broken. When looking in her eyes I have always saw a soul!
