Re: groundhog

There is a wonderful song at www.andiesisle.com/Calling_All_Angels.html  My holistic vet sent the Royal Princess Kitty Katt drops with Calling All Angels essence in them when she was ready to leave this world and told me about it when she sent a card after Kitty left.  I Googled it and this song came up.  It has helped me more than I can tell you.  I am sending it now to the group.  So many of us are having extreme times.  Please pass it on to Gunner's person.  Assure her that Gunner loves her and knows how much she loves him.  He is very grateful to finally be with someone who cares.    As far as the ground hog is concerned:  Had he been left in the woods alone and injured he could have met a much more painful end.  He would have been terrified unless he made it to his den.  You did every thing you could do for him.  And he knows it and is grateful you returned his body to his land. I can not believe that no vet would help you.  The rehabbers I understand.  Most of them are volunteers and frequently are not available but a vet should have at least been able to help the groundhog on his journey.  That is extremely upsetting.                                                             If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 11:55 PM Subject: groundhog This is not about a cat, but with Gray gone I feel I want to tell people who will understand, and ask you to pray if there is a reason to pray when someone is gone. Today while I was driving on a highway the car in the front of me hit a groundhog. It happened a few feet in front of me. The groundhog's back end was hurt, but he or she dragged herself off the road and into the woods, down a ravine, and was trying to get around. I went into the woods after her, and she collapsed. I picked the groundhog up with a towel and put her in my car, and proceeded to make about 20 phone calls to vets and wildlife rehabilitators. No vets would help, all the rehabbers had answering machines saying they were full, and after about a half hour the groundhog died in my car.  I brought him/her back to woods near where he or she lived, and put her under a tree there. It was so awful. I feel so sad, and I feel bad that if the groundhog was going to die, it had to be in my car rather than in the woods where it felt safe.  So if  you pray for those who have died, please add this groundhog to your prayers. And for the living, my friend Stephanie's dog Gunnar, a 12 year old shephard who had a really really hard life before she adopted him 2 years ago, who is having very sudden and serious neurological problems that have been diagnosed as encephalitis, and he is not responding to medications thus far. And of course Lucy, who goes up and down like a yo yo, and is not feeling so good right now. Thanks, Michelle No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
