I first met Bandit in 1991 before my sister got married. Bandit used to open my pocketbook and empty the contents and then cliimb in the pocketbook. In 1994 my sister was pregnant with my nephew. The day before and the day she went into labor, Bandit stayed with my sister, sleeping on her stomach and lying at her feet. It was almost like he knew she was going into labor.
Bandit was a ball of cuddly fur. He would rub against you once he got used to you visiting. He made friends with my sister's second cat, Ozzie. He gave so many wonderful blessings of love, warmth and joy.
Bandit became ill at his old age of 14. He passed on to heaven and continues to share his loving spirit with my sister's family and also to me. God bless Bandit and all animals that give their loyalty and unconditional love to the human heart and soul.
In God's blessings of love, light and peace,

Wolfie, A Gentle Loving Spirit
I first met Wolfie, a gorgeous German Shepherd when my daughter was in second grade. Wolfie had been trained as an animal companion service animal. He was so gentle you could practically put your entire head in his mouth with no problem. Of course no one put their head in his mouth.
Two particular incidents reveal the loving gentle spirit that was Wolfie. One time my daughter and I had stayed over night at my friend Mary's home, Mary was the owner of Wolfie. My daughter became sick with a high fever. We tucked my daughter in bed with some medicine. Wolfie climbed on to the bottom of the bed and stayed with her. I checked on her several times during the night. Wolfie was still with her.
Then I went downstairs and tried to get some sleep. I woke up to Wolfie kissing my face. Immediately, I went upstairs to check on my daughter. Her fever had finally broken. It was almost like Wolfie wanted me to know that her fever had broken and she was doing better. I was very thankful.
Another time I was working in the apartment complex office where both Mary and I lived. I was really stressed out and trying to hold back tears. Mary came in with Wolfie to handle some paperwork. Wolfie came up to see me and laid down at my feet in front of my desk. He would not budge. It was almost like he knew how upset I was. Finally, I got up and began to hug him and I told him everything was ok. He then got up and left with Mary. That day he blessed me with a little bit of joy and gave me strength to get through the day.
Wolfie was truly a blessing from God. He went home to heaven and I know his gentle loving spirit will be with us forever. We will meet him once again at the gates of heaven.
God bless Wolfie and all animals that bless our lives so richly, warming our hearts and souls.

My Friend Buck
I first met Buck when I moved to Maine in 2003. He is my neighbor's Austrian Shepherd. I have to admit I was a little leary of him at first. He is quite the protector.
Buck visits our elderly neighbor across the street from his house daily. Since the elderly man is now 96, he needs a little extra help. I go up to visit almost daily. Buck is always there to greet me. He gives me kisses and I give him hugs. Then I give him some dog treats.
Buck keeps my elderly neighbor company during the day until his owners come home from school and work. My elderly neighbor looks forward to seeing him daily and often will fix him up some hamburg. Buck greets all the visitors with plenty of kisses. Of course no one can resist giving him treats.
Buck is such a loyal companion and friend to myself and especially to my elderly neighbor. All of us need companionship and love. Buck gives so much every day. He is truly a blessing from God.
I am so very thankful to have a sweet friend like Buck. May God bless him and all the animals that touch our hearts and souls with so much beauty.

Hugs For Sam
About one year ago when my husband and I took my little Kiely to the groomers for her monthly makeover, I met another dog that really blessed me. His name was Sam, short for Samuel Adams. That particular morning I was quite stressed. My husband and I had an argument and I was feeling quite annoyed, stressed and somewhat sad. When we got to the groomers my husband took Kiely inside. I waited in the waiting area. There was a beautiful golden retriever named Sam crying and barking. The owner of the business explained to me that Sam was very frightened. He had been abandoned during Hurricane Katrina and had just been with his new owner for less than one month. The owner of the business asked me if I would mind comforting Sam. I went inside and started petting Sam. Each time I stopped for a little break he would wimper and bark. I finally sat on the floor and Sam cuddled up next to me and fell asleep. I hugged him gently and spoke softly to him that everything would be alright.
Ironically, I was supposed to comfort Sam but Sam comforted me. I was no longer stressed or annoyed at my husband. Instead of feeling sad I was feeling happy. Sam had truly blessed my day. When it was time to leave it was Sam's turn to be groomed. I hugged him and gave him a little kiss goodbye with a blessing of love, joy and well being. I hated to leave him but I knew he would be ok. Sam was truly my gift of peace that one stressful morning.
With blessings for Sam and all of God's animals,

My Little Nose
When I first moved to Maine, USA from Massachusetts in 2003, I was extremly homesick and lonely. We decided to get a dog. I read in the local newsletter about free puppies looking for loving homes. I called the number and my husband and I went to the home to see the puppies. The first puppy that came up to my husband and I was the littlest one in the litter. She came over and kissed the hands of my husband and me. Immediately, my husband and I agreed that she would be the one we would pick to be a part of our family. We needed to wait until she was 8 weeks old to take her home.
When we took her home we named her Kiely. She cuddled up to us and would fall asleep on our laps. Later she found her way to sleeping in our bed in between my husband and me. Kiely is our absolute joy. I call her my little nose because whenever I need to go out she is waiting for me with her little nose pressed against the front window of the house.
For many years I have suffered with anxiety and bouts of depression. Kiely always knows exactly what I need. She stays with me and keeps me company and loves to go for rides in the car. She loves taking walks with us. Many times she steals the clean laundry or one of the pillows and wants us to chase her around the house. One day I was having a stressful morning and she got into the clean laundry. She came up to me with a pair of my clean underwear in her mouth. I stopped and burst into laughter. I got the underwear away from her and we went out for a walk. The rest of the day was brighter and full of joy.
Animals are such a blessing from God. Kiely has blessed our lives with overflowing joy, love and laughter. She is truly a precous gift from God. My little nose is my loyal and faithful friend and one of my best companions. I thank God with all of my heart for such a loving gift.
May God bless all animals with love and protection. May they all be surrounded with God's angels and saints. May we take a few moments every day to tell our animals how much they mean to us and how much we truly love them. Animals need to be thanked and told they are loved too. God bless all animals.

Animal Hugs and Blessings Outreach
I have started an outreach in my area of Canton, ME and online for animals. If you know an animal that is sick, injured, needs a litttle extra love or a blessing of love and well being, you may contact me by e mail at kwjm527@yahoo.com. This includes pets, farm animals and any animal of any species.
Within 25 miles of Canton, ME, USA, upon invitation, I will visit the animal and offer prayer, blessings of love, healing and well being. This is a free service. This free service is also available online as a distance prayer and blessing for animals anywhere in the world and can be requested by e mail at kwjm527@yahoo.com.
I highly respect all faiths and beliefs and will honor this respect with each animal and their owner.
