Remembering Daisy....

Jessica Simpson toted her new Malti-Poo puppy, Daisy, with her to a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman in New York City on Aug. 5, 2004. Daisy joined Simpson on many TV shows, including Good Morning America in 2005.

5 year old Daisy was snatched by a coyote during a walk earlier this month near Simpson's home in California.

Prayer For Animals

"Hear our humble prayer,
O God, for our friends the
animals, especially for
animals who are suffering;
for animals that are
overworked, underfed
and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in
captivity that beat their
wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or
lost or deserted or
frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to
death. We entreat for
them all Thy mercy and
pity, and for those who
deal with them we ask a
heart of compassion
and gentle hands and
kindly words. Make us,
ourselves, to be true
friends to animals,
and so to share the
blessings of the merciful."

- Albert Schweitzer

I AM AN ANIMAL RESCUER

My joy is to assist God's creatures,
My soul is fulfilled by meeting their needs.
I have bought their food with my last dime,
I have stroked their battered heads with a tender hand,
And I have hugged creatures trembling and afraid.
I have fallen in love a thousand times
And I have cried into the fur of their lifeless bodies.
I don't often use the word "pet"
but prefer "companion" and "friend" instead.
I see those lost at the roadside,
those for whom I have arrived too late,
And my mind races
And my heart aches.
I will hand-raise a kitten
And make friends with a bird.
No creature is unworthy of my time.
Violence and abuse makes me hurt for the world
But each Rescue gives me new hope for mankind.
We are a growing and determined army
And we are making a difference every day.
There is nothing more necessary than feeding a castoff,
Nothing more rewarding than saving each life,
No higher recognition than watching them thrive.
There is no greater joy than seeing a creature play
who only days ago was too weak to eat.
And I wonder at the moment of my death,
Will I feel the touch of your paw,
The soft warmth of your nose
And your eager spirit
Leading me to our next adventure
Together?
I am an Animal Rescuer.
My work is never done.
My home is never quiet.
My wallet is always empty,
But my Heart is Always Full.
