Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

I would like to tell everyone how much their prayers, good wishes and positive thoughts meant to us.

First of all the first day I just cried all day, then to be busy I would come in and read all of your posts and I would feel the strength of your prayers and the love flowing to Daisy and Perry and Don and I and it gave me strength. I have never seen Don so devistated in my life, he couldn't stop crying either.

I know in my heart that all the prayers and good wishes and positive thoughts are what got Daisy and Perry through this horrible time and us too. I know it.

We received e.mails from so many people we didn't even know, we received love and strength from the Golden Retriever Board, our group, For the Love of Dogs and so many many from PetTalk.
I would like to thank Cinder and Smokey and their Dad for the special prayer the pups gave to us, the wonderful tribute from Karen, all the phone calls of concern from my friends, and the wonderful prayers and wishes from everyone on here and of course our very good friend Carl and his Schnauzer World community.

Thank you all so very much, in my heart I feel that you helped save our beloved Daisy and Perry along with our wonderful Vet.
He was so caring and let us visit anytime we wanted to and as long as we wanted.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Love and Peace to all, hold those babies tight to you.
Jackie, Don, Daisy and Perry

It was the least we could do.

*HUGS* Give those wonderful furbabies of yours plenty of kisses for me.

I'm glad your fuzzy babies are doing better!

My puppers send lots of snuggles and wet kisses to your babies.

Jackie and Don, the way I reacted to this horrible news - you would have thought Daisy and Perry were my dogs. I felt as though my gut had been turned inside out.

Why this strong reaction? It is because all of us here love you so much for sharing everything about yourselves and Daisy and Perry.

Yesterday, I just couldn't stay off this board - trying to keep up with the latest news on the pups.

But this doesn't mean we can "lighten up" on our prayers. We want to see Perry completely healed and home again as well, and we pray Daisy will not need surgery.

So, we will continue to pray for all four of you and your extended family.

Love, Gini and Rascal

Jackie, I am so happy to hear that Perry and Daisy are getting better. They will remian in our thoughts till they are 100% recovered and back to normal.

Jackie, that is what family does! They stick with you when you are down and love you in ways you never knew were possible. I believe that God has taken this terrible incident and is using it for his Glory! He is showing how when we unite in prayer, he is faithful to hear our prayers. Especially the prayers of two dear pups named Cinder and Smoke! He is showing us just how great his Love for us is.

Some people think "It is just a dog". I can't tell you how many times in my life I have heard that. IT IS NOT JUST A DOG! It is a best friend, loyal companion, and a glimpse of what unconditional love is all about! Anyone who has the kind of relationship with their dog that those of us on Pet Talk have, know that it is not JUST a dog!

It was our priviledge to rally behind you and Don on behalf of Perry and Daisy!

Jackie and Don :
THIS IS WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR !!!!

I am sooooooooooooo happy we could help you !!
No thanks needed !!!!! thanks to you both , for caring so much about sweet Daisy and Perry !!!!!!

Jackie and Don,

You two are the definition of great pet parents. Your dedication and love for Daisy and Perry along with all the prayers and your wonderful vet are what got them through. You have wonderful skinkids who were there for you in your time of need also. Being 3000 miles away, prayers were all I could offer, but then, prayers are mighty strong things to offer. I am so pleased that the two of them are doing sooooo much better. I was glued to the computer for 2 days constantly checking for updates. Your positive attitude through all of this is to be commended.

Are in my thoughts and prayers. I just have this feeling that everything will turn out just fine. We will all keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming!

I just can't imagine what you and your husband are going through.

Oh, Jackie, I'm so sorry about what happened to Daisy and Perry!
I have been absent for a while, but Logan just sent me an e-mail and she told me what happened. How awful!

I'm glad to hear that your beautiful babies are recovering well.
Please give them tons of kisses from us and know that I am praying for their speedy recovery.

Love,
Thelma, Yertle,
Elvis and Danny

I confessed to Thelma that I am a worrywart Mama and when she hadn't posted in a while, I emailed her to find out where she was, and to make sure everyone was ok.

Thelma, I know Jackie will be thrilled that you have posted too. It is good to see you back.

Logan
who is no longer worrying about Thelmalu!

Jackie and Don, I have been away all weekend without access to a computer so this morning is the first I have heard the news about Perry and Miss Daisy. I'm thrilled that they are doing better. The strangest thing....this weekend, especially Friday while I was home, I had this overwhelming urge to get on the computer and check Pet Talk...Honestly I did! Normally, when I'm away from the computer I think about Pet Talk and over the weekend I think about the people and pets and wonder and hope for everyone's well-being. But I've never felt an urge like that before....Unfortunately, my home computer is not working and there was a state of emergency in the city because of the rain and the floods so I couldn't go anywhere...
I think it was a definite sign.

[Aspen and Misty]

I felt the same way. Like my heart had been ripped out. I acctually thought about them in my sleep cause I had a dream about them. I can 't wait till they are 100% better and you can watch them playing in the backyard again! Chewy and Teddy send lots of kisses and doggy hugs.

Jackie and Don,
I read the message that posted by Logan at Golden Retreiver website, I was so saddened by what happened to Daisy and Perry. Just let you know you and your little ones will be in my thoughts and prayers, how horrible to have pit bulls live to the next door..
But I am grateful that Miss Daisy and Perry are going to be OK. Get well soon, and we will think of you everyday, until all the pains are gone. I feel so hurt to just hear the story.

Jackie & Don i am so relieved to hear that your babies are going to be ok. They have the best mommy and daddy to help them heal along the way. The miracle of prayer is a blessing isn't it.
