Hello, my name is Cris.
I live with a dog named Andy. He is 11 years old, almost 12, which I know is kind of old for a dog (but not too old). He's a brown Cocker Spaniel. A few days ago he was diagnosed with severe kidney problems and now he can barely move, he spends most of the day resting and often crying in pain, and he barely eats, and refuses to eat the few meals that should help him with his condition. The vet was not very optimistic and his last test results weren't good, but she said there's maybe a chance if he starts eating the few types of food his kidneys can process, which he hasn't eaten yet.
I beg you to please take a moment to pray for him, I wish he would get better so we can spend more time together and I wish he would stop suffering. It's heart breaking to see him like this day after day and I'm not ready to say good bye. I know what matters in the end is God's will but I hope with all my might that I can see a miracle and that God would help my dog recover and feel better again.
He is my best friend. I've never had many close relationships to human friends and I've always been kind of a loner, but Andy was always there for me. He cares so much about my feelings and my well-being, probably a lot more than I do for him. He always wanted to comfort me when he could sense that I was feeling sad, he would hang out with me and press his nose or his paw against me. We have shared many experiences and memories. I feel like he even has the same sense of humor as me when he would play with me or when he barked at certain neighborhood dogs or people. I couldn't have been blessed with a better dog, I love him.
I don't know if I was ever a Christian or a Catholic but it's the only religion I know since it's the one my parents taught me and I've only been a part of Catholic church groups in the past. I don't know how to pray correctly so I've only been praying the Rosary and some prayers to Saints that I have found on the Internet (St Expeditus and St Anthony Abbot). I've always had too many doubts about Christianity and I can't make sense of some of its teachings so I think I align myself with pantheism by default. But at the same time in this time of desperation I don't know who to ask for help other than God, hoping He exists and that He listens to my prayers, and hoping that if that is the case then He doesn't feel angry at me for the fact that I only search for Him now that I'm in facing this struggle.
I have only posted some questions in this forum many years ago but I forgot my previous username. I'm sorry for creating another account now.
Thank you for taking the time to check this forum post.
