I want to thank everyone who has said prayers for Carty. No Carty is not human, but he is our boy....our baby who we love very dearly. Some people do not understand when we say, he is our child.....he is our baby. We have always considered him to be our baby boy. The picture, is who the prayers are for. Have you ever had unconditional love? Have you ever experienced a miracle? I believe I have. My husband and I have tried to have children. We got pregnant and both babies passed away. After numerous surgeries, I ended up scarred and just not able to carry a baby. We have never been able to afford adopting. I went out one day not too long after I lost my babies, and I saw this little puppy. He was in a group of 5 other puppies. The moment I laid eyes upon him, I knew he was destined to be with my husband and I. I didn't even hold any of the other puppies, I knew in my heart.....it was him. When he was six months old, I took him to the vet to have him fixed. I had pre-operative blood work done on him to find out his kidneys were bad. He was born with a genetic kidney disease. After finding this out, I took him to an internal med specialists to see if there was anything that could be done for him. I was told to just take him home, nothing could be done. I was also told that he wouldn't live beyond one year of age. He just turned five years old last November. When I lost my babies, he became our baby. He has helped me get through so many trying times in my life. Our Carty has opened so many doors for us. That is where God gave me a miracle with him. I believe, God sent me an Angel.....when I truly needed it. God also has let his miracle be known......as medically speaking he isn't supposed to even be here right now. I have never had such love and joy. I have never had an animal in my life, that has touched so many others in many different ways. He got his annual check-up two weeks ago, we were told that his heart is going bad now along with his kidneys. So, we are needing so many prayers right now. Words can not express how we truly feel about our baby. I am sorry to anyone who feels like I mislead them in praying for Carty, thinking he was a human being. I have always related to him as our baby, my boy. I never stopped to think about others thinking this was a human being. So please forgive me. If you will, please ask God to heal my baby. We were told by a family member, that if he dies......he will not be in heaven. We were told that the bible doesn't talk about pets being in heaven and it doesn't specifically say pets. Although, it does state there will be animals there. So, in addition to me praying for him to be healed, my husband and my family.....and all of the other people who have prayed for a healling on this site, I am also praying that God does take him to heaven when he does pass. It makes this situation so much harder to deal with thinking if he dies, he is just dead....nothing just dead. Its really upsetting and heartbreaking because of our feelings for him. I pray that God has him waiting there for me. We haven't met very many people who understand, or is even willing to listen to our cries. In the big scheme of everything in the world today, asking for prayers for my dog probably seems stupid and I apologize to anyone who does think this is dumb. I am terribly sorry. He is our little miracle. So if anyone out there cares, if anyone out there has had an animal truly touch their life like this one has mine....please pray that God heals him. Please ask that God will let him live to an old age. I thank God for his miracle already, I thank God for even letting him come into my life to start with. I just don't know how to cope with the thought of him not being in heaven, if he should pass soon. Can anyone help?
