Monday and the sun shines again.
Agatha is better today, she actually pranced into the kitchen for breakfast, the cough is still with us but she is bright and beautiful and sat in a sunbeam this morning while I did my devotions and sent more prayers heavenward.
I fear to overburden you with my emails but I know that many of you have wept with me over our beloved dog and I wanted to give you some brighter news. Agatha is undoubtedly better. She’d be embarrassed to know I share a picture of her all scruffy and damp from her walk around the yard this morning, but I wanted to share the love that shines from her eyes. Though you might not have met her, she would greet every one of you with kisses and adoring wags if you’d been to visit.
I do not know how much time she will have, I’m praying for another year, an audacious prayer indeed for a dog that the veterinarian thought wouldn’t live through last Thursday. But I am happy for each new day with her as long as they last.
I’m trying also to pray for His will and not my own but it’s so hard. He knows best and this time of fearful watching has shown me that my faith while strong is shaken more than I thought possible when I look at the angry waves that beat against our little vessel.
I send the utmost sincere & grateful thanks for all the faithful prayers being sent up on our behalf, please continue to keep us there. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am humbled at such a response. The letters and words of encouragement continue to flood my Inbox and comments section, many of you have shared your stories of the people and yes, the pets you have lost, that pain never goes away even after many years, I pray for your pain as well. You have strengthened me in ways you’ll never know, I pray He blesses you dear friends for your goodness to me and yes for sharing in our love and our tears over our Agatha.
Grateful Love & Wags,
Terry, John and dearest Agatha
Sending hugs and prayers! We just lost our beloved dog Bandit after 14 years. He was amazing until he went to sleep.
PbtG! Such a joy to see her and your update. Thank you for sharing your precious girl….hoping beyond all hope for the gift of time. Will be keeping closer now….we all learn here. Axo
Prayers answered. Blessingsr for little Agatha. The sweetest face ever.
Dearest Terry,
We wish you all the strength to get through this most difficult time. As we have never owned a dog until now, we can’t imagine life without our sweet Coco (BunnyHop). Life has completely changed at our house, and she has brought us so much joy! If it is comforting to know, a part of Agatha is in her and all of these dogs, and she will continue to shine in the eyes of all the puppies that you have sent to families around the country.
Sending you well wishes and hope so Agatha can be well again soon.
All our love,
The Feles Family,
Arty, Kathy, Thomas, Sophia and Coco
Sending love.
Stay strong, prayers are with you..🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗🐶🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗. With Love, Kathy & Winnie🐶
This is so encouraging. Continued prayers for sweet Agatha who knows how much she’s loved.
Jane and Sophie Grace (whose one year “gotcha day” is this Saturday). She has been a true blessing to me Terry.
Thank you for keeping us posted. As with human death, we each feel our own mortality and it is the same with our pets.
My Gunny, our Cavachon from Fox Glove will be 9 years old this November, as I mentioned in an earlier e-mail. With luck
and our constant veterinary care we could very well have a strong 3 more years…but who knows. Your Agatha wakens in
me the mortality of our sweet Gunny. I too am “stormin’ the Heavens! Remember, God always answers out prayers just not
the answer we may be hoping for.
Oh, dear Agatha, indeed, her eyes shine with love, such a beauty.
Praying for all of you, my dear friends. Be strong and positive, sending all my love and prayers across the ocean.
So grateful for the update and the blessings of another precious day with Agatha.
Keeping everyone in my prayers . thank you for sharing your journey.i was crying with you. this is the hardest part of having fur babies. Why their time is so short, I’ll never understand. Blessings to all of you. Xoxo 🙏🙏😘
So glad to hear she is doing better at least for now. Schatzi and I will continue to pray for beautiful Agatha and all of you (especially Mama Terry) in this hard time. We love you and send our best thoughts and wishes with puppy wags your way!
We are carrying you in our hearts as we have walked this journey with our Allie girl ! Keep the faith and enjoy each sunshine day together ☀️
I never send comments, but having met you and Agarha, when going to see the puppies – I had to respond. Knowing what a loving and caring person you are, I know your heart is breaking. I look at our Izzy and know I would be heart broken if anything happened to her. Know my thoughts and prayers are with you, John and Agatha. Each day is a blessing.
Thank you for your updates.
Prayers continue…with much empathy and gratitude…for the love you’ve shared is a blessing to us too. 💙🐾💙

The best to you.

PRAISE GOD!!!!! I am so thankful for dear sweet beautiful AGATHA feeling better.,and for OUR FATHER to answer our prayer!!! Miracle for sure! I will continue to pray for her and you. My little Yorkie Molly has tummy problems IBD which came on as she and I grieved over the lost of little Emmie, a Biever Terrier (party Yorkie in looks) four years ago. They were the same age and we were a close family! Molly is now almost 11 and every time she gets sick i fear loosing her. It is heart wrenching so I too feel blessed each day with her. It will be easy to remember you and Agatha in my prayers each day Terry because our little beautiful babies mean so much to us both and you and I cherish the time we have with them….I know the fear of loosing them too and still,cry for little Emmie even though I know we will be together again.
love to you and sweet Agatha,
Cindy Nold
Hello Terry
Oh such love in Agatha’s eyes! You are so blessed. Thank you for sharing her with us. Our hearts are so touched and filled with compassion.
Terri
As I said in my email, please, please don’t think your posts are too much. I look forward to them every single day. They inspire me to pray even harder for all of you.
God bless you
Shirley Nebel
Terry,
Can’t thank you enough for sharing Agatha’s wonderful news and her pictures. She is a sweetheart!
Prayers along with positive thoughts will continue.
Blessings sent your way,
Vicki & Wags 💖🙏🐾
Oh, such incredible news! I am so delighted to hear she is better! Such a precious wee face and body! Her eyes still sparkling with love for you. Her kingdom, from the images I have seen, is heaven on earth then you and your husband’s devotion and support…icing on the cookie, so to speak! Your emails, for me at least, are welcome, and not burdensome. Our furbabies are love itself, and when we fear their loss, the feelings of helplessness and the inability to reverse time come pouring through. Agatha is an incredible baby, and i so important to even strangers, such as myself. I pray her day and into evening continue a happy and peaceful one. Full of everything she wants to do and everything you want to share with her. Continuing prayers for her and you….sending love, peace, hope and light towards you and your adorable Agatha.❤️❤️🌟🌟🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹
Terry,
Please don’t apologize for the posts. We WANT to know what’s going on with Agatha and you. I am praying for you. Please include specific requests if you’d like. Have you read Chapter 40 of Randy Alcorn’s book called Heaven? If not, I would encourage you to. it was immensely helpful to me when we lost our Mya so unexpectedly at age 5 two years ago. He has some helpful comments from C.S. Lewis, John Wesley and Joni. There is even a wonderful poem by John Piper about his dog. Susan Dixon
Dear sweet Agatha my thoughts & prayers are with you 🙏 & to your Mom & Dad Terry & John ❤️ Love Charlie & Lilly from Boston 😘
I am very gladdened to hear that Agatha is doing better today, I lost two of my precious animals this year and know the heartbreak of the loss or potential loss. As a Christian who is also a counselor I often recommend a book by a wonderful Pastor called “Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates” by Gary Kurz. It is a thoughtful and biblical discussion on what happens after we pass from this world to the next for us and our pets! I pray you do not need this today but in time we all need these words of encouragement when those we love come to the end of this side of heaven. God Bless you and little Agatha.
Rebecca from Los Angeles
Dear loved ones. Praise God for His mercy!!!! I thank Him for each day that the three of you have together here & now. Will continue to send prayers to Father for you and give your sweet Agatha a kiss from us.
As always
love, hugs, puppy kisses,
Dianne, Tony & Casey Jones
PRAISE AND GLORY TO YOU FATHER…
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCY…
Oh, Terry, you are not burdening us, we are your Prayer Warriors!
It is an honor to stand with Agatha, John and you during this trial.
We are here to encourage you…
We are here to strengthen you…
We are here to pray for you…
We are here to love you…
“Rejoice with those who rejoice;
weep with those who weep.”
We are here for you…
Agatha is on my “go to Prayer Warriors” list. God’s Will is hard, but our faith seems to smooth the rough edges from my experience.
“And we know that God works all things together
for the good of those who love Him, who are
called according to His purpose.”
I pray you and John are resting well, and our Baby Girl welcomes the new day bright and happy with a diminishing cough!!!
Looking forward to our update
