You know, yes, I agree. Those are wonderful blessings.

I've notice TBMs, especially on this site, becoming agitated to the point of losing their peace and mental clarity. I suggest that the rest of us begin to pray, send white light, think peaceful thoughts, meditate, or whatever means we may use in this regard, for our sweet and precious TBMs. They can become our personal projects. We can send them cyber cookies and make them feel loved. When they achieve greater comfort, peace, and clearer minds, they will begin to find their way out of Mormonism. Will anyone join me in helping these tender souls find their ways?

What she didn't tell them is that it was the name of our dog.


Well, somebody will be burning in hell for that one; I doubt it will be a dog.


So, it's wrong to pray for a dog?

Apparently so. Yahoo Bot hath spoken.

Dogs are like keys. When they are lost, they should be prayed for. If they are not immediately found, they should be put on the temple prayer list. It's only common sense.

Incidentally, the dog did make a full recovery from its reproduction-limiting surgery. My wife attributes this to the temple prayers on the dog's behalf, but I cannot be certain that the prayers were a cause of the effect.

I'm so glad to hear that your dog survived being spayed. So few of them do :)
