"God, Bless the Animals and help us always to be mindful of the kinds of challenges they face in the process of aging. Just like us, they find that they can't always do what they used to do, and to all animals, that is no less frustrating than it is to us. Help us to make their years as happy and productive as possible and to provide them with any help we can as they make adjustments to allow for their mounting years. Bless all elder animals, God, and let them know how much they have done and continue to do to brighten our lives. Amen."
