Hi Esther!
A new baby and friend! Our 3 fur friends (two dogs (who knows what they are) and 1 cat (she wanted us)) have blessed me to no end since my diagnosis. The male pom (sort of) won't leave my side when symptoms are dreadful. He stays with me until he senses things are ok. I try to do the same for him!
I know that you will enjoy your new pal and that much love will guide it's life. Cheers to you for being such a friend to our fur people!
