It's me... Midget Molly again. Sorry it took me so long to get back to my story about Lucky, but after eating pancakes and sausages on Sunday, I slept most of the day on Monday. I just couldn't move off the couch!
Anyways...for a little recap about what happened to Lucky, read my previous post! Oh, did I mention how good those sausages were? Yummmmmilicious. They were turkey sausage so I don't have to count my calories today.
- (Rambo shouts) "Midget..........shut up!! Just tell them the dang story you blabber gabber."
Sorry, I do have a tendency to gab and get off subject. Anyways, Lucky's Mom was at her wits end for sure. So one day, she brought her to a special place. It's called a Shrine. Have you ever heard of it? This is what it looks like.
It's called the
St. Padre Pio Shrine and it's in a little town called Landisville, New Jersey. It was built in honor of
Padre Pio who was the first priest in the history of the church to receive the
stigmata.
So, Lucky's Mom brought Lucky there to ask Padre Pio for help. She put Lucky on the altar and started to pray, and cry and pray. She begged Padre Pio to help Lucky walk again. The other humans there prayed for Lucky too. Then she and Lucky went home.
The next day is when the miracle happened.
Lucky moved!! All by herself. Lucky's Mom saw Lucky trying to walk. Her Mom didn't believe her eyes, so she gave Lucky a test and put her back where she was. Sure enough, Lucky moved again. Isn't it exciting?? To think that one day you can't walk and then the next day you can?? OMD, I wonder how.....
- (Rambo shouts) "Midget, just finish the story. The other dogs don't care what you think."
Sorry again. I am just so excited that Lucky can walk.
Anyways, it took some time but Lucky is now walking on her own. What do you think of that??
Do you think it's just a coincidence, or do you think that Padre Pio answered her prayers? Was it a miracle?
Peace out,
Midget
- (Midget's G-Mom here) Lucky lives with my cousin Colleen in Vineland, New Jersey and Midget didn't make this story up. This is a true story. The shrine to St. Padre Pio is built on a little piece of farm land that used to belong to my Grandfather, Frank Dandrea. My uncle and aunt, Peter and Marie Dandrea built the shrine in honor of the saint. It's a very intersting story and you can read all about the history on the Shrine website.
