Prayer for Dez ( Update Dez is gone :'( )
Dez is in really bad shape and needs a prayer, vet doesn't know what is causing her to be so sick and most likely my grandma will probably have her put to sleep so she's not suffering anymore. :( Dez is a rottie sweet girl she's about 4 years old.

For CAkana and Sassy
I happened to catch an email -- Cathy posted on Facebook that Sassy is in surgery (as of about 11 e.s.t. I think) with some massive internal bleeding. She's scared, of course, so I'm just going to put the candle page here for anyone who might see it before she posts herself in the morning. Candles...
