Heavenly Father is Mindful of us. And all pets go to Heaven

This past Saturday was an emotional day. It was also another Testament to me that our Heavenly Father is mindful of us.  Our sweet dog Daisy Mae has been very sick for the past month or so. We knew that she was going to leave us. What we didn't know was how. We had talked as a family about putting her down. It was a very hard decision. We had to make that decision about 3 years ago with our other dog Quincy. We knew how hard and what we had to do to prepare for this second death.  We all really wanted her to pass on her own. I personally wanted her to pass on her own. I prayed that she would. But I also prayed I wouldn't be home when it happened. Daisy's death was especially hard on me because she was my baby. We were inseparable. She was my

 

puppy, we clicked when we first got her. I mothered her like she was my own. I didn't want to see her pass on. I really wanted to be away when it happened. 

Heavenly Father knew how hard it was for me. He was mindful of my wish. We have a work Facebook page and on that page a girl asked if anyone wanted the last hour of her shift. I didn't want to take it at first. But I soon felt that I should. I had also planned on going to the temple with my mom and spending the rest of my free time with my little sister. I knew it was going to be a good day. I went to the Temple and had a great time there, I took my sister to get ice cream. Then went to work for one hour. I then came home. My sister came out to my car and it looked like she had been crying. She opened my car door "Daisy's gone.. it happened with in the last hour." You would think I would be totally heart broken, shaken to my core, and un able to breath but I felt at peace. I went into the back yard and saw my sweet Daisy lying there next to her house. She looked so peaceful, so happy. 

I didn't realize the timing and schedule of the day until later. I had gone to the temple earlier, spent time with my sister and went to work for ONE hour. That one hour was the hour Daisy decided to leave this life. Heavenly Father knew she would pass away that hour, He knew I didn't want to be there when it happened, He knew that one hour shift was what I needed. 

I am so comforted and at peace. I know my Heavenly Father was watching out over me. I know he loves me and he wanted to grant my wish. It was a day full of beauty, a day full of peace, a day full of love, a day full comfort. I am truly blessed.

I will miss Daisy Mae. The backyard feels empty and lonely. But I know that she is happy and out of pain.
