Novena and Ranger Update

Dear God, Our Lady, Angels, Spirit, St. Jude, and Anyone Else To Whom It May Concern:

Today is Day 47 of this novena, and Candles 31, 32, and 33 are sending the heat of passion and light of hope into the Universe on behalf of Christy, Ranger, and Bonnie.

Christy, as always, is upbeat even after too many doctors' appointments and not enough good news. She's dealing with enormous pain and having trouble walking. (Darlin' get the good drugs, and I hope you feel so much better.) Her future includes a date (i.e., surgery) with her oncologist to biopsy the tumor on her leg, more meetings with her pain management team and solutions that hopefully involve non-invasive processes (i.e., NOT surgery) on her spine. Dear God & Co., I have bronchitis right now, which is mildly annoying; and most of the time I am the healthiest ox around. Please help me be half the person that Christy is.  Put my focus on how I can help even a percentage of the creatures on your earth that Christy touches, whine significantly less, and be inspired by her example to use my health for more than getting muscle definition.

Bonnie continues to be in the good and loving hands of Phyllis at Sunflower Hill Rescue. And again, thank You (and Phyllis) for that.

There is such good news for Ranger. Teresa at Four Paws and Hooves Animal Rescue had him tranported from Pets are for Life (P.A.L.), where Christy had been having him boarded for four months. Teresa has had Ranger vetted and neutered, will keep him at her shelter, and will take Ranger to adoption events. He is now with Teresa and she reports:

"Thought we all could use some good news. Ranger is now vetted, HW- and microchipped. He is going to his first adoption event this weekend. He is the sweetest guy. He has not attempted to get out of the yard or his crate. Even with all the noise and commotion here, he stays calm. The best thing is he does GREAT with the other dogs (even the yappy Chihuahua's)."

Look at that picture. Yes, the one with the vicious pitbull putting the terrified-looking child at risk. That one. Is that one happy guy? Thank you God & Co. and Christy and Teresa for making it happen.

I am so very much obliged
