[Magdalen] Doggie prayers, please

[Grace Cangialosi]

My dog Gracie (she CAME with the name!) has been sick since Thursday--at
first just didn't want food, a little better on Friday, so I didn't call
the vet.  Sicker yesterday and again today.  Not eating or drinking, not
even going outside to pee.  I did get her to take some ice cubes this
morning and again this afternoon, but that's it.  We're off to the vet in
the morning.  She's probably about 7 or 8 and basically healthy, except for
a ridiculous cough.  I spent a small fortune on it at the beginning of the
year, and even the specialists were unable to come up with anything. She
sounded like a Canada Goose for about two months. Still coughs, but nothing
like she did at first.

Even the cats are worried about her, and she has the most godawful
breath--probably dehydrated by now.  I lost my beagle a year ago, not ready
for another loss.
