Hello !! I know how you feel... It is very harming when one of our pets passes away, ax, i\'ve cried my chihuahua dog who was still a puppy, i could see in his eyes he understood everything we told him, besides he was very lovely, like a little baby, my little baby.
I am almost sure that there is not an orthodox prayer for animals. But what I understood after his death is that life in us is actually quite fragile and we can have it in one day and the other not. So what do I get out of this? I pray to the Lord not for my little animal, but because I understand how fragile life can be and that it is actually a miracle every breath I take, for me to wake up the next morning also.
I first thought that it would be my last puppy, my last pet, it wasnt fair to lose him that way, loving him and caring for him and the next day be without him. But also, am I going to stop giving my care and love to others because I am afraid I might lose them? Surely that is not how God wants us to respond; I mean, he took the cross for us, what are we expected to do as orthodox christians ???
God bless all people who respect life in all its comprehension, who respect the whole creation, and of course, who respect and care for animals and pets.
Markos.
