I was purging the hall closet last night
where there is a mirror on the inside of the door.
I glanced in it and caught
my Howie lying behind me in the doorway
of the guest room.
This Love is never more than 6 feet away from me.
He steps over my O/2 tubing as you can see and will
trudge up and down the stairs as many times as I do.
He has bad knees, limited hearing
and failing eyesight now.
But he loves me, is devoted to me
and I am so blessed.
When I fall sleep and begin to have
breathing issues he now nudges me
awake and stares at me until I say
"It's Ok Howie go to bed."
If I ever need reminding that all my troubles
mean nothing in the big scheme of life,
this pic says it all.

Love this. We are blessed with our fur babies.
I better get a dog. xo
The way he nudges you when you have breathing difficulties is very much like a support dog. Hey Howie...you are a gem! I'm wondering how old he is. I remember him from waaaaay back when I first started following you.

Awwwww, he's a good one. I swear my late cat Sam knew when I was not feeling well. Even though he was not a lap cat, he would climb on up and let me pet him. :) Kit
Thinking about you with prayers and good vibes
