Being 11 years old, my aging dogs definitely have lumps and bumps that I don’t like. I read they are normal, but I don’t buy it. So, daily I put a drop of frankincense essential oil on my dog’s food along with a splash of the superfood supplement, Ningxia Red. But what really brings me peace, is when I take the time to anoint my senior dogs. I put a drop of frankincense on their back and massage it in with prayer. I pray the Lord will bless them and keep them healthy and strong. The bible tells me God is compassionate to ALL he has made. That includes my beloved dogs. Your dogs too. So, I pray for love and compassion to wash over them, trusting in God’s promises to hear my prayer. Doing this truly brings me peace as I surrender their lives into his hands. After all, they are his creatures and not a sparrow falls without him knowing. Matthew 10:29

Scout’s behavior (and Mercy’s too) can often be bothersome to me. If it’s not asking for treats, they may be annoying me with requests to be let out in the middle of the night or to play or walk at an inconvenient time. Mercy, my lab, bless her heart, will ask but often is quick to give up on me. Scout, on the other hand, will keep knocking. Keep asking. Keep seeking me out. He pleads with me with his big beagle eyes and cries until I say yes to him. I think there’s a lesson here about not giving up.
