He Will Wipe Every Tear From Their Eyes.

The past two days have been tough. About two weeks ago my friends and I found two lab/retriever mix puppies on the side of the road, one male and one female. We named them Molly and Aldous. Immediately we began looking for home for the two pups since as college students we could not keep them in our dorm. We found a home for the female fairly quickly, and as far as we knew she was doing well. But we were not as successful in finding the male a home, although he didn’t mind be spoiled by several girls. He rode with us to the rodeos and helped us feed the horses every morning and night. I would say very obedient for a three-month-old puppy. About a week ago, Aldous started acting funny. He wasn’t the same crazy, wiry little puppy we had all grown to love. Several days later he stopped eating and drinking and became depressed. Last night we received some devastating news, his sister, Molly, had died of parvo earlier that morning. When Aldous began acting funny, the thought that he might have parvo was in the back of my mind, but I didn’t want to think like that. The three of us girls, being college students, do not have the finances to pay for the pricy treatment that it takes to cure parvo. So we were left with a very difficult decision. There was no denying that he had parvo, it is very contagious and him being around his sister as long as he did, we were sure he had the virus. This morning we took him to the animal shelter where they confirmed that he had the virus. I could not stand to see him in pain any longer, we ran out of options. I had to make an incredibly hard decision; I signed Aldous over to the animal shelter. The woman at the shelter was comforting and personable. Although it was a tough thing to do, I believe it was the right thing for the sake of Aldous. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about, but I know he will be much happier when the pain is gone.

I apologize for the sad content of this post, but it was something I wanted to share.



Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
