Do any of you have prayer requests??

**Karen** · 08-18-2021, 01:55 PM

Prayers please for our beloved Lulu, our warrior princess. She is a Pointer/Blue heeler (Australian Cattledog) mix, and a year and a half old. Yesterday she was napping under a visitor's car, and got run over when the visitor left abruptly. She then was scared and ran - so Kermit sent most of the day scouring the woods nearby looking for her, calling her, with no success. After dark last night a neighbor drove her home, she was on his porch when he got home from work, and when he opened his door, she went in his house and jumped up on the couch.

When she got home she went up and slept on my bed, until Kermit got back and carried her to his bed and examined her. No broken bones, but she was obviously in pain, and would not eat, He took her to the vet this morning, and she has a massive hernia, and her organs are pushed up int her chest. She needs surgery, but we have to take her to a different vet for that - they don't have the capability there. But it's going to be at least $2000, and there's a chance she might not survive.

Prayers please! This is so scary. She is our self-appointed defender of the farm, and chases off foxes nearly every night, especially this time of year. She is sweet, cuddly and just the best dog ever.

Lulu is alive! She made it through surgery and is spending the night at the Emergency Vets in Greenfield Massachusetts. I will spare you gory details.

Do still keep her in your prayers, please. She will have a long recovery. The surgeon said he'd never seen a dog injured so badly that lived, and her heart did stop at one point, but they gave her CPR and she pulled through.

Here is Lulu as she normally is:

What happened???

Thank God she'll be OK! Gosh, how she managed to pull though is nothing short of a miracle! Sending you lots of love and healing prayers, brave, beautiful Lulu!!!

Oh no! Just found it. Thank goodness she's going to be OK! *fingers crossed* How terrifying for her and you. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts and in my heart, sending lots of healing love!!! Stay strong, beautiful Lulu!!!

Thanks, Sandra, it was awful, scary and I am sure horribly painful for her.

**phesina** · 08-19-2021, 05:33 PM

I'm just seeing all this now. What a horrifying story. I'm so very, very glad and grateful that Lulu made it through this experience and then the surgery, and she's alive and on the way to a long and careful recovery.

Joining in: Stay strong and brave, beautiful Lulu!

Sending loads of love and prayers and good wishes and blessings and warm healing energies along to you,

Good for you Lulu. Stay strong and speedy recovery, I wish you all the best.

**Karen** · 08-20-2021, 02:20 PM

Lulu is recovered enough to come home tomorrow~ thanks for all your prayers, she is our warrior princess, and no doubt her fitness (as well as skilled surgeons) helped save her life.

I promise pictures when she is home.

Poor Dusky is sad, doesn't understand where she is!

So happy to hear Warrior Princess is coming home!!! Hopefully she'll be putting her "warrior" duties on hold for quite some time to come! Can't wait for the pics!
