My babies do that too. Isn't it wonderful?? I've had all 3 in bed with me (2 dogs/1 cat) for almost 4 wks while recuperating. I have a king size bed and all 3 are touching me at all times--there's at least 4ft of empty bed over there. They make me smile and laugh. Enjoy your little love--they are the only ones who adore you so completely.

Dogs are not only great anti-depressants, they are wonderful companions and a lot of them are very sensitive to their 'people's' needs. That's a lovely story, Leslie, thanks for sharing that.Je vous souhaite de la joie, de la bonne santée, et tout ce qu'il y a de bon dans la vie.
Wishing you happiness and good health, and all the best out of life.
Peace, Carolyn

Oh Leslie, that picture is so cute! I am lucky to have my kitty flare helper. I thought it was just the heating pad she liked, but when I had to shoo her off of my lap b/c of the pain on night, she sat next to me for hours anyways! My favorite flare helper is my cuddly 2 year old daughter Margot. When I am not feeling well she pretends she doesn't feel good too so she can lay down with me. It is so cute!Rachel

Yep, nothing like a furry kid with you. (I have 2 doggies) & here I thought it was the heating pad they were fighting over!! No, it was me. Most nights they sleep with me, one at one end of the bed & the other at the foot of the bed.Comment

My little weenie dog keeps me company and he can always make me smile
Though, I was not smiling when he ate a shirt button yesterday! He can also be a pain in the rump as well. But I looove him to death, he is my baby. You are right, they can sense when you dont feel well. They are better than any antidepressant pill, that is for sure, and they have no bad side effects.
