Prayer Thread Part 3.

Prayers of comfort said for DMJ and family.

Prayers for all in need.


Thank you for your kind words.

We are here for you !

It's like not real yet. We would be going out to Sunday breakfast right about now.

It's probably shock. Your bodies way of protecting you some. When my husband died I was numb for a long time. Just going through the motions of day to day life.

Just know that your support system goes beyond the people there with you now. In the coming days, we are here too.

Prayers my friend.

If you need someone to talk about legal affairs and such, message me I just went through it.

Keeping you all in my prayers.

Yes, we are here for you.

Thanks BBQ i know Becky had everything done for this, i just have to find were it is. She was on top of this stuff for ever. I used to tell her, what the hell, you planning on one of us dying tomorrow. She always said, you never know.

Prayers for all here.

DMJ, it takes time...and it eases up but doesn't ever disappear.

We're all here for you and we'll keep you in prayer.

Much love to all of you here.

Prayers needed.

I feel like a total jerk asking for prayer for myself, but I got injured earlier today, and I should have gone to the ER. As a former EMT, I do know to deal with a multitude of injuries, and sometimes I have to treat myself. With the way the hospitals are, there is no way I am going anywhere near any hospital.

To keep a long story short, I have been Calamity Jane this past month, broke my left thumb at the joint(chiropractor checked that out for me), broke my nose(4th time, iced it, and it is not crunching anymore and all the swelling is gone, so I am good).

Now I have a badly hurt right middle finger, with a chunk missing from near the tip.Cut deep alongside the nail all the way to the tip, with a good sized chunk missing. Yeah, it hurts ! It looks absolutely gruesome, also.

Jewel did it. My little old Fox Terrier. I got home from church, let the dogs out, and gave them food. I dropped some of Jewels food on the floor as I was setting her bowl down, and picked up the pieces, and put them back in the bowl, and she attacked my hand.No warning, just got me but good. Bit the hand that was feeding her, literally.Shredded my finger.

It took a while to get the bleeding stopped. I washed it 3 times in warm soapy water, soaked it in peroxide, and wow did that hurt! Put antibiotic cream on it, pushed the ends back together the best I could, and bandaged it up. The crater in my finger is going to have to heal from the inside out. I will keep an eye on it for signs of infection, and if it looks like I got an infection started, I will make myself go to the clinic, not the ER.

So, my dilemma is what to do about Jewel. She does guard her food, but I have never had a problem like this before. My first reaction is to find her another home, as I lost my trust in her. She is old, and old dogs are nearly impossible to re-home. Or, I learned my lesson, and if food drops on the floor, just leave it and clean up the mess later.

So prayers needed for my throbbing finger, and for discernment for me to decide what to do about Jewel.

Prayer said.

Praying for everyone here and for all requested prayers, extra for Dave and friends and family in this difficult time. I am just so deeply saddened by the news.

One time Holly bit my hand badly in almost the same situation. I definitely needed stitches. rinsed it and put peroxide on it and iced it. I alternated Dr. Christopher’s B&W ointment with cayenne (yes it hurt!)and Manuka honey and changed the bandage often. I also took oregano oil and olive leaf extract to prevent infection. It really swelled up so I told everyone I burned my hand. It healed quickly and I only have a very thin scar. Holly was a sweetheart otherwise but you couldn’t take anything from her. Praying you heal quickly. I know how traumatic it must be for you.

In my almost 68 years, and continually having pets, I have never been bitten by any of them, until now.I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrel's, mice, snakes, frogs, toads, turtles, even a snapper who I used to take for walks around the neighborhood on a leash with a harness I made for him.

I am so upset Jewel bit me, and about had badly she hurt me. She is my sweet little dumpling, and my heart hurts right now.

Maybe get her evaluated by a vet or continue to monitor it yourself. I really think animals can sense all the earth changes going on and it affects them by stressing them out and mentally affecting them.

My poor girl was traumatized by Hurricane Ida. She knew things were really off and her attitude changed for a while. She had really bad separation anxiety and was afraid to be left alone. Usually I can give her a few training treats and tell her goodbye and that I will be back soon, but for many weeks she would quit eating the treats and would look at me like she was frightened to death of me leaving her at home alone. Thank God she is coming out of that now.

Monitor her or get her evaluated, but if you think this is a personality change, you may have no choice but to consider other options.

Prayers and hugs for you. I know this is tough because dogs are like our children.

Prayers for your finger. I know you will be careful about possible infection.

I know you didn't really ask for advice regarding Jewel. I have been fostering senior, special needs, and hospice dogs for years. I don't currently have any since my poodle died. If I lived closer, and you were willing I'd take her, at least temporarily. But if she has had recent changes in vision or hearing that may explain her behavior. Even joint pain and illness could cause behavioral changes.

I don't want to butt in. If you would like me to babble on, perhaps private messaging would be better. Or I could just mind my own business. LOL

Prayers for all in need.

Prayers and hugs for all !

Prayers for those in need and the broken hearted.

Prayers for all.

Tiger, I didn't know you were an EMT! Glad to know that as I'm sure you will take good care of your wound.

As for Jewel...all I know is that sometimes old dogs vision can deteriorate quickly. They can also get dementia rather suddenly. If you are afraid... you're going to have to do something with her. Praying for you to heal and for the problem to reconcile.

Love you all.

Oh no...

So very sorry to hear this. You and your family are in God's hands and certainly in our prayers.

Prayers and hugs for you all.

Oh, Tiger, I don't know what to tell you on this one. Fluffy P is right. Something has to be done, certainly preparing her food while she is out of the house or at least room. Dog minds can go suddenly. A friend's border collie suddenly attacked her out of the blue and did serious damage. Turned out he had a brain tumor that suddenly caused too much pressure. Terrible but inevitable outcome. If she has a vet that knows her well, I'd certainly take her to see him/her.

You're in my prayers, of course.

Jewel doesn't hear real good, and I do think her eyesight is not as good as it was 3 years ago. Could be dementia.

Former EMT, Auxiliary Police Officer for a neighboring city,Director of RADEF(radiological defense) for the neighboring city, State certified Radiological Monitor and Radiological Monitor Instructor for the State of Indiana,Co-team Leader for the Tornado drills in my county, and a whole bunch of other certifications. I have had a full and interesting life ! I was the 2nd unit to arrive at the Cline Avenue Bridge Disaster. Google it, it was really bad. I had a police radio and a red light in my private car, as I was on 24 hour call 7 days a week.

My career came to an end when I got substantially injured on the job as an EMT.I was supposed to be hired in my city as a full time Police Officer the following month. I had aced all the tests, got the highest scores on everything out of hundreds of applicants. With all of my certifications,I had a big plus, besides the fact I was already a part time officer with a neighboring community for 5 years.

It wasn't easy to go from being on top of the world, to being in traction for 10 days, leg brace, cane, and wheelchair for a very long time. My Faith got me through all that, in more ways than one.
