Oh, I love your fur friend stories! My husband's dog Sam (pom mix) is the first to know that something is wrong with me. Even before me! He stays by my side til the "bads" have passed and then he's back to being a shadow for my husband. He's been there for me many a night as I worked through some bad pains and yukes! Bless his little soul for helping get thru some crumby stuff!
My little female (papillon mix) is my bestest pal, but she doesn't "feel" the need like Sam does. She just loves me and stays at my side constantly.
Sometimes I think I should have had dogs instead of kids. I understand them so much better!
Have a wonderful day and know we are all pulling for you!
