Out of habit, I call Bella every morning and every night. It makes me feel sad not seeing her run home from the neighbors house. She loves our neighbors barn and spent many days inspecting it.
Writing about Bella missing is very difficult, but I don't have any friends that are truly willing to listen. I'm sure they will say they are sorry or hope she will come home soon. Sometimes I feel like those are just words to make them feel better and not so much for the situation.
However, I shall be vigilant in watching for Bella.
I did find this prayer for lost pets. St. Francis has helped me and I hope he guides Bella to her home.
Father
We ask you to help us find ________,
our dear pet who is now lost.
We know that you
placed animals on the earth
for many reasons,
including companionship for man.
We therefore ask you
to help us find our lost companion,
and pray that You will keep him (her) safe
and protect him (her) from harm until he (she) is found.
We join our prayers with St. Francis,
St. Anthony of Padua, and all the saints,
and pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
David Bennett
