You know how to reach me on FB. We should get together when you have time.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisaLisa McGlaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586141320197189197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860878238593831078.post-74306518542110051282012-11-16T18:09:33.295-08:002012-11-16T18:09:33.295-08:00I think my first reply to this post got lost! Just...I think my first reply to this post got lost! Just want to say great post on pets and their mysterious healing skills. My three dogs and cat are essential to my well being...even though they can drive me nuts at times. Mike has been in the ICU at UMC this past week due to complications from his treatment. For a while we thought he would not be able to be around the pets (his white blood cell count was in the toilet), but it looks like they got a handle on that. A good thing, because he was really upset at the idea of his dogs having to have separate sleeping quarters from us.Carrie Ann Lahainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860878238593831078.post-74638440255061278772012-11-16T13:52:10.060-08:002012-11-16T13:52:10.060-08:00Natasha!

It was cathartic for me to make it for you, especially since you are too far away for me to help out any other way.<br /><br />Popcorn sounds like he was an amazing dog. Our Blue gets the same look on his face. Imagine if people loved each other with the sheer abandon that domesticated animal love their humans. The world would be a better place.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisaLisa McGlaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586141320197189197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860878238593831078.post-51166843577982992842012-11-16T09:21:10.834-08:002012-11-16T09:21:10.834-08:00I know what you mean about the healing power of pe...I know what you mean about the healing power of pets. While I don't have any now, I didn't have the advantage of pet love during my own treatments. However, when I was pregnant with my oldest son many, many years ago I had a wonderful little Papillion that we had rescued from an abusive home. He only weighed about 9 pounds, but after he recovered he had the heart of a big dog. Popcorn was my little shadow, constantly at my side and curled up next to me when I was lying down. He'd gaze at me with love in his eyes and a doggie smile on his adorable little face.<br /><br />I'd helped him get through the trauma of being abused by his former owner and the owner's two German Shepards and now he was there to help me.<br /><br />He lived to be 13 and I miss him to this day.<br /><br />BTW, Lisa, I just received the prayer shawl and was overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness. It is absolutely beautiful and reflects your caring spirit. Watch for something from me in your mail.writerstricksofthetrade.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083070198778528841noreply@blogger.com
