Our Pet FamilyPet Family is dedicated to help support people with sick animals, suffering animals, and with people who have suffered the death of their beloved pet; and for the rescue of all homeless pets/animals.Bible Basics Custom Google Site Search!Pet Familyprotect and bless all things that have breath; guard them from all evil, and let them sleep in peace. - Albert Schweitzer Pet Family is here to help support people with sick animals, suffering animals, and with people who have suffered the death of their beloved pet. Pet Family is dedicated to the people who have lost a beloved pet; it is to assure people that they do not suffer and grieve alone; that we share in their sufferings for their beloved pet. Sometimes in church a person would have a “Prayer Request” for their sick pet or for support in their grieving for their lost pet. Often they would always “apologize” for their prayer request because they knew it was only an animal; a pet. All creatures great and small are important. When God created our animals, our pets God said at Creation that it was “Good.” All of God’s creatures are important to God and they should be important to us also! We never need to apologize for our love, our suffering, and our grieving over a beloved pet companion that has been an essential part of our family. Grieving for a beloved pet is not some kind of “second class” inferior grieving – it is True, Real, Honest, Painful, Authentic Grieving!!! Our “Pet Family” has been blessed and we have been blessed to have had our pets. But this “Pet Family” website is more than just a tribute and memorial to our pets as wonderful and as important as that is! This website is truly dedicated to all of the suffering animals which do not have homes and more importantly are not “loved.” This website is dedicated to the animals which are homeless, hungry, sick and starving, and to the thousands of animals which are destroyed in city pounds each and every day! Some animals like feral (wild) cats may never have a home but we can still have compassion for these creatures through T-N-R (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs. We are very thankful and blessed for our pets but we have compassion for all animals. This website is dedicated to the “Rescue” of all animals great and small.

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole". We miss you Zeke. Thank you for being a blessing to us. We could have missed the pain, but we would have had to miss the dance.
This is a photo of Rameius a couple of weeks before we had to put him to sleep (We had to put him down Dec. 22nd 2008)
He ate a whole bag of Halloween candy this last Halloween, bag, wrappers and all. He did throw up Reeses and Heath wrappers for a couple of days on that one. But for a 12 year old he handled it pretty well. He is soooooo very much missed. We have hours and days of stories and memories of him. He truly brought our family together more times than once. He was the dog that you loved so much but he was always getting into big trouble. There has never been a trash can that he has not gotten into.... If I had a dime for every time I have come home to a house that had trash strung ALL over it I could retire. And Rameius always knew he was in big trouble because he would come walkin up to me so slow with his head down and a big smile. Yes he would smile! We would put the trash in the pantry or closet and he would still get into it. He could open any door. Even round knobs....Colby once had to put a chain lock on his pantry to keep Rameius from opening the door and getting into the trash and eating all of his food. Gosh! I could go on and on with stories.
Even though she is blind she very rarely runs into anything. She goes my sonar or something, but most of her days consist of napping. She will get up to have a bite to eat and run out and potty then it is back to her little bed. RePaula Tate

Blane rescued Lily from a dumpster where she had been abandoned as a puppy. This treasure had been thrown away in a dumpster; just like garbage! Lily was kinda the first official Loft Dog. She comes to all the Social Events and is always a perfect lady. Lily is 12 years young and in good health. However she is just now recovering from knee surgery. Her and her daddy were playing ball and she landed wrong and tore some ligaments that required surgery, But she is recovering faster than expected. Blane, her daddy travels quiet a bit so she has been adopted by many here at the Lofts. We all are always honored to have her for the time Blane is gone. She will come into you home and instantly be the perfect guest. She even lets Baby Sarah waller all over her. Lily is certainly special and is loved by many because when she looks at you with those big brown eyes and wags her fluffy tail (which by the way she thinks is very sexy) she makes you feel like you are her favorite person in the world. Thank you Lily for never telling me any different!
Franciscan Blessing of the Animals“Do-it-yourself” Franciscan Blessing of the AnimalsFor all animals: Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. On the fifth and sixth days of creation, you called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all animals his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this animal. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen For a sick animal: Heavenly Father, you created all things for your glory and made us stewards of this creature. If it is your will, restore it to health and strength. Blessed are you Lord God, and holy is your name forever and ever. My Pet Family I have had several dogs since my childhood over 50 years ago. “Princess” was my first Beagle pup at age 5. Midget and Sir Fritzfrankfruggervonsnifflepuffer we called him “Fritz” for short were two mixed daschunds that I had as a teenager. Later when I married my wife Jo I also married her dog “Pupper.” Later after we lost Pupper (16) to old age we adopted a beautiful pound-puppy Golden Retriever mix named Jodie. Unfortunately Jodie died prematurely at only 7 years from kidney failure. This was really a tragic loss because Jodie was so vibrant, such a character, and such a scoundrel to have died so young. Later one night coming home from work late at night I had car trouble. I pulled into a church parking lot. As soon as I got our of the car a little brownish pup ran up to me and promptly rolled on it’s back looking up at me! To say the least I took this puppy home and when I started up the car the “noise" was gone. I only had car trouble long enough to pick up a stray pup at 4 am from a church parking lot! Later we adopted another pound-puppy “Beckett” who was just about the sweetest dog of all time. (We all say this about our dogs!) Both Murphy (15) and Becket (15) lived to be old dogs. They died about a year apart. Beckett died one day after Christmas in 2007. All of these dogs were blessed and we were blessed to have had them. But this “Pet Family” website is more than just a tribute and memorial to our pets as wonderful and as important as that is! This website is truly dedicated to all of the suffering animals which do not have homes and more importantly are not “loved.” This website is dedicated to the animals which are homeless, hungry, sick and starving, and to the thousands of animals which are destroyed in city pounds each and every day! Some animals like feral (wild) cats may never have a home but we can still have compassion for these creatures through T-N-R (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs. We are very thankful and blessed for our pets but we have compassion for all animals. This website is dedicated to the “Rescue” of all animals great and small. This website is also dedicated to the people who are suffering and grieving over the loss of their beloved pet - to assure these people that they do not grieve alone; that we grieve with them and share in their suffering. This website also celebrates God's Creation that all of God's creatures have value and that all creatures great and small are important to God.
