Pet Memoriums

We believe that animals have a place in God's eternal Kingdom. Our sympathy extends to all who have lost an animal. "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." Jesus (Matthew 5:4) Peace to you, God's Creatures Ministry

In Memory of Butch
by Jan Fredericks

Butch showed up on my porch in PA somewhere around 2000 with very bad ear mites. In March 2009 his health deteriorated drastically from FIV with a poor prognosis. He was sadly euthanized on March 25, 2009.

He had the most expressive eyes. My Mom who passed away on February 21, 2009 enjoyed his presence. I believe he was the first to become friends with Buffy, my dog (also from Pennsylvania).

"Thank you Lord for putting Butch in my life."

If It Should Be
(anonymous)

If it be I grow frail and weak,
And pain should wake me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come will hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
Only stay with me until the end,
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you too will see
It was a kindness you did to me.

Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.

We've been so close, [we] all these years.
Don't let your heart hold bitter tears.
