LN... I'm not much of an animal-lover, although I definitely think it's wrong to treat animals cruelly. I don't know much about the care of pets, and you might want to listen to Shattered & krisy's advice about that, because they seem to know a lot about pets. But, just for the record, seems to me as if you were trying to do a good thing.
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!
