Re: Please join me in praising the Lord for healing my sick dog!
That's an excellent point, Brother Papist! God does indeed have mysterious ways.
I'd like to think that is why yesterday afternoon, hours after she ate standing up and on her own for the first time in two weeks, God reached down and stopped her enlarged and overworked heart as she lay in her bed.
There are several other Dobermans available in my area as rescue dogs. One I read up on was kept in a crate in a garage by an animal-hoarder for 6 years!
Maybe God decided my girl had gotten enough love for one lifetime, and it was someone else's turn.
Or maybe He's mad at me for taking her to the vet at all instead of just praying, and so He killed her to chasten me.
Knowing God, the second is probably more likely.

The vet gave her an oral dose of barium, which he said would coat her stomach and soothe it, and another anti-emetic (anti-vomiting) injection, along with a broad-spectrum antibiotic and prescription dog food (Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low-Fat) at $2.29 a can. For the food, I had to spend the $10 I had set aside to give to the Christmas Feast for the Homeless, but clearly it's what God wanted.
as inspired by Deuteronomy 8:3.
