I
am a lucky dog. I have so many friends, some here at the Bridge that I
can see every day, others on the other side of the River of Life, that I
visit in my dreams. I am truly blessed with friends. I even got to
meet Abe Lincoln’s dog. Mr Lincoln? Little long winded in the story
department, but his dog? He’s a true joy. (Fun true fact: President
Lincoln named his dog Fido. After his arrival at this side of the
river, to honor the President, people named their dogs Fido, which is
why dogs are commonly referred to as Fido. You learn all sorts of
things over here.)
Some
dogs, because they are new to social networking, or their secretaries
don‘t have much time to bark for them, or just because they are shy,
don’t have many friends. That doesn’t make them any less popular than
the rest of us, and when they get sick, their need for prayers make them
the most popular dogs in the world.
This
is true of our friend Jess. She has about 175 friends on DS, but I
think those are real friends. A lot of us have 500 friends or more and
when we see their birthdays on our profile pages we say “Who the hell is
that?” and then we wish them a happy birthday because that’s the type
of thing a dog does.
Poor
Jess has been on DS for less than a year and she hasn’t spent a lot of
that time healthy. She is only 11 but she is going through a terrible
variety of issues that need prayer and attention. The poor girl has
rarely gotten a chance to post about anything except her health.
Right
now Jess is struggling every day with tummy issues. Among them is a
nasty case of irritable bowel syndrome. She just celebrated her
birthday this week but she couldn’t celebrate with food like we all love
to do. In fact the little girl was so sick she couldn’t enjoy her
birthday at all.
Although
I mentioned that Jess doesn’t have hundreds of friends, those who are
her friends have all left messages and said prayers. But she could use
some more so I am asking all my friends on both sides of the River to
say a prayer for Jess, and you DS friends who don’t know this wonderful
pup please befriend her at profile #36264.
And hang in there Jess. Lots of prayers are coming your way.
Always wondered where the Fido came from...Rover we can understand.

We left a comment on Jess's journey. Any friend of yours is a friend of ours, Foley!
ReplyDeleteOh Jess.....Me and my pack and my Mommy and Daddy will all be saying a prayer for you. That IBS is a terrible disease. My sissy, April {she's at the Bridge now...Foley please say HI if you see her} also suffered from IBS and a few other things like Epilepsy. She fought hard and felt pretty good most of the time. So you fight too, and I hope you feel better soon.
