Add prayers for your pet

By nwilliams

Mirri04's very sad post about her poor rabbit Thumper (RIP) gave me this idea. Post a goodbye message or prayer for your pet who has died and I will add a candle for it, to this article.

That way it will always be remembered.

    A couple of years ago, there was this mother cat who brought her kittens to live in the stable outside (our house used to be a farm) Soon afterwards, she moved on and took two of her three kittens with her, but the last one (my favourite) was left behind. That night, it was really cold and in the following morning I went out to see it. It had died in the night. :( Could you please add a candle?

  • nwilliams wrote on Wednesday, 3 November 2010 @ 19:49

    I haven't got any pets, but would like to remember my best friend's cat, bruno who went missing. They found his body a few weeks after. I would also like to remember her hamster Harry (Harriet) who died a few days after they found bruno. Maybe she was pining for him? :-( They were the best pets ever.

    My rabbit Rosa died on the 3rd of January this year after an on going illness which my mum referred to as 'Worms on the brain'. I remember one of my new year's resolutions was to give her her medicine as soon as I got in the door not at like 5pm when it had become dark. She was a beautiful rabbit and so is her brother Rodney (although he is still with us) and she was only 4 years old. Rosa, you will be missed! Xx

  • Bunnycat (Age 13) wrote on Tuesday, 22 November 2011 @ 19:12

    Umm I don't suppose you could do candles for four animals? Two for Fluff and Fluffkin, who were guinea pig sisters and my first pets until Fluffkin died of a kidney tumour aged four and Fluff died of old age aged 5 and a half. Then another two for two ex-battery chickens, Serena and Martina, who died this year aged just over a year old due to the after-effects of the horrible battery chicken units, but lived a lovely life for a few months. They are sadly missed.
