Lord, grant US the ability
to watch over our humans,
care for them, cheer them
when they are down,
make them laugh, smile,
and shower them
with our love. We pray
that we can bring a little
joy into their otherwise
mundane existence...Lord...
please let them know that
when we insist on getting
attention, it is so we can
check their emotional
well being and boost
their morale. When we
pester them for different
foods, toys, etc., its so
they will learn to see us
in ways they hadn't
considered, bringing them
closer and back into
the fold ... which they
are part of but keep
forgetting about. They
expect us to know what
they want even though
sometimes they don't
know what we want.
Some of them really try
and we know they love
us but some of them are
so dumb yet our love for
them remains intensely
unfaltering.

Lord, when we die,
please make sure to
send us ahead to
wherever our humans
are going to be, so we
can pave the way
for them, vouch for them
and be there for them
when they too die......
please allow us to
continue proving the
humans are worth
the effort.
