Wonderful site. Thank you. Here is an excerpt I found:

QUOTE
Animals as a soul group have taken as their path to teach human beings about love, this is the ministry of animals. Their love for us and their commitment to their path of love is often sacrificial as was the love of Christ. Over and over again they offer us a chance to be gentle, to be kind, to choose love. Over and over again they demonstrate for us the qualities of devotion, steadfastness, gentleness, forgiveness, peace, forbearance and unconditional love. Over and over they choose to incarnate, to repeat the demonstration until we have learned it fully.

You can do something beautiful to ease the pain of loss surrounding the death of your beloved friend. Offer up your love for the animal, and your gratitude for the gifts received during your time together as a healing prayer for all the animals who die with no one to grieve their passing. In this way your grief can be transformed into a sacramental blessing of the whole kingdom of animals. By doing so, your grief will turn to joy. It is a kind of alchemy, an alchemy of the heart. By turning your grief outward as a prayer, you take the focus off yourself and the whole universe and all the beings who dwell within it smile in thanksgiving.

Blest are the animals,
May the Kingdom of Heaven be theirs.

Alice Mae Bennett ("Allie") was born around May of 2003. She came home to us in July. On March 10, 2005, she became ill with a condition called mesenteric torsion or volvulus. It is a twisting of the small intestine which is nearly impossible to diagnose. Once symptoms begin it is usually too late to save the intestine by surgical means. There are no known ways to prevent it and its causes are also unknown. It is extremely rare, especially in medium-size females like Allie. It is more common in males of large breeds, like German Shepherds.

Allie was a sweet, happy and loving soul. I will miss her every day. Thanks for giving us these last two years, little girl. We'll always treasure them.

It is such a beautiful site.
Below is another extract.


Memorials For Beloved Animal Companions
And In Honor Of The Sacred Lives of All Animals


Love transcends all limitations of time and space, instantly being felt throughout the universe in all realms and dimensions. For this reason, prayers and loving wishes are received by an animal even after death, for the soul of the animal lives on, and the soul feels, receives, and responds independently of the body. The soul is immortal and never ceases to exist. Those you love and have 'lost' through death are still alive in a world of light nearby.

You can do something beautiful to ease the pain of loss surrounding the death of your beloved friend. Offer up your love for the animal, and your gratitude for the gifts received during your time together as a healing prayer for all the animals who die with no one to grieve their passing. In this way your grief can be transformed into a sacramental blessing of the whole kingdom of animals. By doing so, your grief will turn to joy. It is a kind of alchemy, an alchemy of the heart. By turning your grief outward as a prayer, you take the focus off yourself and the whole universe and all the beings who dwell within it smile in thanksgiving.
