I would hope that no one would laugh at your prayers Malka. I think it is very kind of you to include people and animals you have never met in your prayers.

Isn't it sweet!! I have prayed for friends and relatives, and their pets, but not a total stranger! It is very touching and very much appreciated

Malka: please don't ever change!! You sound just the sort of person who I would love to have as a BF!!

Your prayers clearly have worked, because Tai really is very well. He has horrendous breath at the moment, and is farting for the Olympics, but I guess that only means another pair of something or other working its way through the colon!!

My "chats" are not like "please cure" so and so - if they were I would have been praying for Pereg to be cured, which I know is impossible.

But it gives me comfort to know that I thank HaShem for - well for, I give thanks for every day Pereg is seizure-free and ask for another day also sz-free - and. and then I start talking about all the Dogsey [and dogs on the epi List] and just talk about them, ask that they please be looked after - probably sounds as if I am nuts, especially when I forget names and say "oh, well You know who I mean".

But I did tell HaShem that Tai had apparently eaten another pair of your nikkies...

...ooops

Now that I can laugh at lol

I have googled HaShem and completely understand about the chats ... I am very flattered and honoured, and so is my boy to feature in your conversations - you sound so practical in your belief, not expecting an impossible miracle for Pereg. Having had a bloodhound who suffered from epilepsy, I know how upsetting and ghastly it can be. But I am glad you get comfort from your beliefs. Big hugs to Pereg, and touch wood re being seizure-free

Apparently he was sniffing round the washing machine yesterday - OH says I had left the door slightly ajar as there were soaking wet dog blankets in there from where git Ben had dived in the canal, and he found him foraging around looking for knickers and socks to eat. Luckily there were none in there. It is a nightmare trying to remember not to put things on the clothes horse to dry

Ha Shem - The Name. Because we do not say or write the word G-d. Only in special prayers. Anyhow, yes, I do "chat" with HaShem about Pereg and about what has happened, and then include all the four and two-legged ones that need help,

And when I get stuck with names and which dog is called what and belongs to whom, it is "oh You know who I mean". Quite possibly sounds totally ridiculous to most people but I know what I mean and I am sure that HaShem also knows what I mean, and as soon as I have ended my "chat" Pereg climbs over me and cuddles up to sleep, and within a minute or two I am also usually asleep.

And yes of course I did tell Him that Tai had eaten another pair of your nikkies!

I think I am soo lucky to have never had a knicker eater lol. I did many yrs ago have a bitch that at the age of 8 decided to eat tea towels but once she had eaten the middles out of 2 I put them out of her reach and as my OH never washed so much as a teaspoon much less dry dishes it was problem solved.
