this is a copied & pasted request for prayers received from DianeDoesSmiles:

Pup who is deathly ill, and trying to recover.....

This Puppy hadn't been "active" on the pages with us, because just as the challenge started she collasped at home, and almost lost her life during the stay in the hospital. So she won't be joining us for this season's (Fall) challenge.

However of course, she IS still one of us in our hearts. Here's the link to Gails page so you can send her a goodie or a message to please encourage her. Please let her know you are a Spirited Under Dog.

THANK YOU ALL For being so compassionate to Gail who so badly needs it at such a critical time in her life, a life that almost wasn't.

P.S. the reason Diane says "Pup" is that Gail is one of the Spirited Underdogs from the 5% Fall Challenge.
