My leukemia's back.

I’m so sorry the news wasn’t good! Anyone who says wet dogs stink has never been the one to soak that dog with tears in the first place! Wet dogs don’t always stink. Sometimes having your face buried in one while you cry is a total balm for the soul.

I went today to get my Zometa infusion. Got really bad news about my blood test results. This may sound crazy to you, but didn't to my neighbors, I borrowed their dog(s) to have a heartfelt cry. They didn't think I was crazy, and have offered their dogs anytime. I rarely cry. I am just not geared that way, but when I need to, I have most often in my lifetime, buried my face into a dog, and poured my heart out.

The one I'm mostly bonded with, kept trying to cheer me up. She's a wonderful older Springer Spaniel named Jade. I was not in need of cheering up. I put her back in, and let out the Havanese. Nope. While she is a great dog, and normally very affectionate, she could smell the chemicals on me, and really wanted nothing to do with me. I put her back up. The young Papillion puppy, that everyone thought would be too rambunctious, kept crying for me from the moment I stepped in the room. I took her out of the cage, and she lept into my arms, and settled down. I pushed my face into her fur, and cried. I told her everything. What was going on, my fears, what I hoped for, etc. That youngster just settled completely down, empathizing with me. I was able to unburden myself to her. Amazing young pup. She knew just what I needed, and gave.

Afterwards, I was offered some wine. Normally, I don't accept, but tonight I did. Dh knows I'm not acting my usual self, so he came to check on me, and we all had a good time. All is good for now.

So sorry about your news. Dogs definitely can soothe the soul. Praying for peace and comfort for you tonight.

Time I made it back to the team. Been on the hatch a long thread. Oh getaclue, I am sad that I came on to read the sad news. I am such a big dog lover. I know exactly how a dog can help with relief in sad moments. They are such good listeners. We had to put our older Ziggy down at the first of the year. So hard to do. I didnt think i would want to get another dog, especially a pup. Lurking on dog sale sites. What was I thinking?? Of couse i found another pup. My Ziggy was a Schnoodle. Part Schnauzer, part poodle. This pup is a pure Schnauzer. Parti Color. He has one blue eye and one brown. Didn't know they would turn out that way, but it's interesting that they did, because this will probably be the last pup my DH and I will get. The very first dog we got together had one blue eye and a brown. We will be getting him next Wed. We've come up with a name..pretty sure. Will see if it fits when we get him home. The gal has been sending photos since I picked him out. Meet Cooper.
