They amaze me...

As some of you have read, it has been a very difficult day for my husband and I today as we have just learned this morning he will be losing his job. (Thread is here for details..http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=51327)

I just wanted to share about Tommy and Tasha. I've been mostly upstairs in my office working on my computer, and David has been watching TV and resting downstairs. After awhile, I noticed every so often Tommy would walk in here, lay near my feet, or come up for a few scratches and then lay down. Then after awhile, he'd get up and leave. Then Tasha would come in and do the same thing. It took me a bit to notice it because I was working and so focused on that. I started noticing when I reached down to pet them when they came in here, their hair felt cooler. I started having a suspicion, because the den area is a cooler part of the house than the rest, and sure enough confirmed it..

They have actually been rotating, one going downstairs to be with Dad, one coming up to be with me, then switching places off and on, all afternoon. When one comes upstairs, the other seems to take cue and go downstairs. It's amazing, they are so amazing. Each are doing what they can to offer their comfort and support, to both of us. How incredibly touching. I just had to share this.

thats so sweet :)

They always know when you're happy/upset dont they? I know my babies do. Thats why I love them so much. I hope your husband finds a new job soon, I'm sure he will :)

How sweet of Tommy & Tasha. They must sense there is something wrong.

That's our T&T:):):) Our furkids are truly amazing, aren't they! And some people wonder why we're so devoted to them. Well, their unconditional love and devotion is priceless. Thanks for sharing that with us Jess. Tommy and Tasha are turly special! Bless their furry hearts for comforting you and David during this difficult time. Give them both a big hug and kiss for me, ok? We love you Tasha and Tommy:) Hang in there Jess. We're here for you. {{{HUGS}}}

Awww! Dogs just seem to *know* don't they? One time, I was really sad, and Major started licking my hand and whining a bit.

This is why, so often, dogs are better than people. They never judge, they just want you to be happy. You've got a couple of wonderful dogs there!

Hang in there, and hopefully everything will be ok! :)

Yes, our dogs are amazing, aren't they? They are the sweetest most loyal animals, always there when we need them, that's why they are our best friends.

Hang in there, things have a way of working out. :)

Yes, dogs are extraordinary in knowing when you need comforting. They never cease to amaze us

Thanks for sharing that story:)

Hope things are a little better today.

That unconditional love is amazing, isn't it, Jess? They just seem to sense what we need, when we need it, whether it be quiet love or fun "get off that chair and play with me" love. :) There is nothing better in the whole world, I'm convinced!!!! :)

What a wonderful story!

Aw I just love your two. They're both great lil' puppers.

I always loved that line in Sound of Music about God opening a window, when he closes a door. So sending out positive thoughts and prayers for y'all that y'alls window is opened very soon.
