Jack is doing exactly what he should be doing: resting and recuperating. Too bad we humans don’t do naturally what our bodies tell us to do! They are both beautiful dogs. I’m sure they’ve brought such joy to your life. They are indeed a blessing! Regards, smvoice
One more update for now - Jack walked slowly into the room where I have my computer and curled up against my feet. About 90% of the time that I’m on FR, that is where he is at.
Apparently, if you are a dog, having a swollen face & neck and pain are not acceptable excuses for not staying with your people.
In a way, I think it is worth mentioning on a predestination thread. What makes it special to me isn’t that he is at my feet, but that he CHOSE to cross the house and join me. I could toss a stuffed animal at my feet, and it would mean nothing. The stuffed animal cannot choose.
But Jack believes, rightly or wrongly, that his place is with me, bringing order to chaos. And so he is once again where he belongs. By his choice. The fact that he WANTS to be there, regardless of pain, is what makes it special.
Perhaps I should pray this prayer tonight: “Lord, may I learn to love you like a dog...”
Poor guy, but loyal and loving.
