Please pray!

Please be in prayer for our sweet Louie.

We took him to the vet on Saturday to have him tested for heart worms and to get some flea medication and we found out that he does have heart worm. In fact, his heart worm test was the most positive test the Vet has seen in quite some time. I think the words the vet used were "ticking time bomb". GREAT. What does this mean? Well, we are dropping Louie off at the vets office tomorrow morning and he will begin treatments. Actually, first they will do lots of other tests and make sure his little body can handle the treatment and drugs and then decide what to do.

Here is the thing: I am scared. I can't believe how attached I am to this little dog after just a few weeks. To say he has me wrapped around his little paw is a complete understatement. Stephen and I both love him so much and tell him numerous times a day. I knew when we adopted him that heart worms were a possibility but I never really thought we would have to deal with that. Well, now we do and are. Growing up my family always had dogs and we have lost one or more to heart worms that I know of. I know that dogs die because of this.

That's the hard part!

If you have a family pet that you are close to, then I am sure you understand. Please pray for Louie tomorrow and for us. Pray that the vet knows what Louie can handle and that all goes well. Pray for me that I can keep it together all day and survive 24 hours without seeing his sweet little face!

I just feel so bad for him...this is not fair! He just started to live a normal dog life and do things normal dogs get to do, like go for walks and play with their owners!

Please don't comment and tell me your bad experiences with dogs, heart worms and treatment today. You can however tell me the good stories with happy endings, because that is how ours will end I am sure!
