Aly, Rachel has excellent advice as always. I'm glad you have Shiloh and Reece to get you through this. Any pet owner can tell stories of how their pets have helped them get through hard times. I may sound a little biased, but I do think poodles are very intuitive. All of mine have shown an incredible sense of when things are wrong and rise to the occasion to cheer me up! Reece sounds like such a sweet, sensitive little guy! Glad you're not on the floor in a fetal position! If you were, though, I'm sure Reece and Shiloh would be laying right next to you trying to get you to play!! That's what my cats and dog do when they see me on the floor!
