A prayer for our lost fur babes
The following was sent to me after my Little One died, and still gives me comfort to read. I hope nobody is offended if I post it here.
G-d, full of love, dwelling in the spirit of all life, may the spirit of my Little One be accepted into Your love. By the merit of her love, may her spirit live on in the love of all life.
Our G-d and G-d of our ancestors, Creator of the universe which You filled with the wonders of life, You have brought forth diverse living creatures and endowed us with the ability to love them, care for them, and be comforted by them.
I thank You for the life of my pet, a constant and loyal companion who shared my home and my love.
At the same time I grieve the loss of my beloved pet, I give You thanks for the miracle of life and the wonder of the love and companionship we shared.
O Lord our G-d, we come before You this day in sadness. My Little One, who brought me so much joy in life, has now died. I am grateful to You for creating her, for entrusting her to my care, and for sustaining her in my love for a measure of time.
I understand that all that lives must die. I knew that this day would come. And yet, O G-d, I would have wanted one more day of play, one more evening of love with my Little One.
As I took care of her in life, I ask that You watch over her in death.
May we care for all Your creatures, for every living thing, as we protected the blessed life of my Little One and all our fur babies. May their memory bless our lives with love and caring forever.
