Time to Lend Support, Compassion and Prayers - - Our Rascal has been hurt...

Hi Friends,

I just received a gut wrenching phone call from our friend Jacque. Jacque spent many many hours in the early days of this site offering encouragement, help, and assistance to many members and friends. We've become offline friends, as well as online friends. It's hard to even know what to say about the news I received from this phone call. But, it's made me physically ill to receive this news. Jacque's little Westie: Rascal, bolted out of the house yesterday and was hit by a car. He's in ICU and will need several surgeries. They say Rascal will survive this, but the very sad news is: he will lose his eyesight. I am just sick for Jacque, Rascal, and her whole family. They are devastated to say the least.

They all have a long road ahead of them, for Rascal's recovery will take quite some time. Please help me pray for Jacque, Rascal, John her husband, and their little Yorkie: Sassy. Sassy will have to be Rascal's eyes now. It's been my experience that Jacque and John will probably suffer more than Rascal, with the loss of Rascal's eyesight. I am always amazed at how quickly our sweet little animals adapt. I have no doubt that Rascal will rally and have many wonderful years of life ahead of him. My biggest prayer is for God to give Jacque and John peace about this. It was a freak accident. They are such wonderful pet parents, and love their animals like their children.

Let Jacque and Rascal know you're thinking of them during this difficult time:

Let's all add them to our prayers, and offer our loving support.

Jacque, if you read this - - we don't want you to feel you have to reply. We all know you have your hands full, and likely too upset to talk about this. Just know we're here, and we care. Sending love your way...

Sincerely,

Jen

I hope everything went well for you and Rascal today. I know if you have him home you are very busy taking care of him. Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of all of you and praying for a very speedy recovery for Rascal.

Hugs Kathi

Wondering if you and John got Rascal home today? If you did, I'm sure you are overwhelmed with trying to cope with his first day home, and care. You are in our thoughts and prayers, very much so.

With love,

Jen

I hope you are doing better today and Rascal also. I will keep you and Rascal and your family in my thoughts and prayers, also your neighbor who I am sure is devestated over what happened. Stay strong, everything will be better soon.

Love Kathi

Comment by PetBrags Pet Lovers Paradise on January 3, 2011 at 9:00pm: Hi Jacque,

I was just about to update everyone. Thank you for the update. Yes, I will remember the Driver in my prayers too. I know he's devastated over this. And I know you must be scared to bring Rascal home. You'll be strong for him. It will just come to you, naturally. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers, you, Rascal, and your entire family.

Love,

Jen

Comment by JACQUE on January 3, 2011 at 8:27pm: Also you would you please pray for the driver of the van that hit Rascal....there is NO WAY he could have seen him as fast as he bolted out and he and his family are just heartbroken over this! They too are wonderful dog owners and are no way at fault for this! They also love Rascal dearly as we are neighbors and their kids play with Rascal.

Comment by JACQUE on January 3, 2011 at 6:47pm: Dearest Jen...I would be LOST without your friendship and support and I can't thank you enough for ALWAYS being there for me! God bless you hun! Also I am praying they find out what keeps getting 'lil Jazz sick. keep me posted on how she is doing too. Love ya dear!

Comment by JACQUE on January 3, 2011 at 6:43pm: @ Wanda...get that gate up hon!!! You just never know what the risks are until it is too late! I now have a gate in the house at both doors! And thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers dear!
