Cindianna Jones is in the hospital

[cindianna_jones]

Yesterday afternoon, my neighbor called me to tell me that he thought he had hit the real Cindanna Jones (my dog) with his car.  While he was on the phone, I heard the dogs at the front door.  I opened it and they both came in wagging their tails.  I told him that she looked fine.

At 5:10 PM, I noticed that Cindianna was extremely lethargic.  I went to move her to her bed and got my hand covered in blood.  The skin on the soft side of her belly was ripped wide open, and not being a straight cut, a large flap of skin was hanging loose from her body.  I could see everything inside of her.

I was sickened.  I could not get a hold of our veterinarian.  I tried to make her comfortable.  She would eat or drink nothing.  I made her a bed on the kitchen floor... just in case she had to go or had more bleeding.  Yea... gross in the kitchen but there is no carpet there and it would be easier to clean up.  I managed to contact a vet in a nearby town and she had me check several things.  She asked me to bring her in first thing this morning.

So there she is... having surgery and I'm going crazy.  I think she is going to be okay.  But I don't know what I'd do if she died.  I really don't.  She is my baby... and the only child I have who accepts me wholly for who I am.  Oh... deep breath...

Prayer For Our Animal Friends


Heavenly Father, our human ties with our friends of other species is a wonderful and special gift from You. We now ask You to grant our special animal companions your Fatherly care and healing power to take away any suffering they have.  Give us, their human friends, new understanding of our responsibilities to these creatures of yours.

They have trust in us as we have trust in You; We are on this earth together to give one another friendship, affection, and caring. Take our heartfelt prayers and fill Your ill or suffering animals with healing Light and strength to overcome whatever weakness of body they have.


( Here mention the names of the animals needing prayer )

Your goodness is turned upon every living thing and Your grace flows to all Your creatures. Grant to our special animal companions long and healthy lives. Give them good relationships with and if You see fit to take them from us, help us to understand that they are not gone from us, but only drawing closer to You.

Best wishes for your doggie!

One of the times my mother's cat Cleo had kittens, mom found one of them had a big rip in his belly so she took the kitten to get stitched up. The poor thing wasn't bleeding though, and he healed quickly and was back to his feisty usual self. I hope the outcome is just as good this time!

[cindianna_jones]

Thanks everyone.  Emotionally, this has been a tough week or so.  This was really hard for me.

She's now home with me, lying at my feet.  She seems so lifeless.  She had been given some morphine but I can see that has worn off.  The doctor said that her prognosis is excellent.  And that makes me happy.... but to see her lying there, breaks my heart.

Now that I can see the wound all stiched up, even though it is ugly, I can at least see that she has been put back together.  My poor baby.  It is amazing how much joy a companion can bring into your life.  There can be sorrow.... but it is of the loving kind. I'm thankful that she is still with me.

Things will work out Cindi.

Oh Cindi!
Hang in there girl. 
I'm sure your baby will be OK. She is tough and will be up running around in no time.
Do keep us informed. I love dogs they are the best friends anyone can have.
