The Prof has gone to bed and I have been watching the channel 4 documentary " 24 Hours in A & E"
One part had me sobbing like a loon, though I knew I was crying more for Meg and less for the lady on tv with the ear infection.
George in his self contained and wise old way has just ambled up to me
He gave me his typical scottie " arrroooo!"
And climbed into my lap which he seldom ever does
And there he has stayed, offering his fat Buddha tummy for rubbing.
I have a small black Scottish Terrier guardian Angel who has more skills in psychological care than the average psychiatrist

He has the paws AND the heart of a bear
Bless him - he knows you're hurting and is trying to comfort you (or had he got an itch on his belly that needed rubbing!) Xxxx
ReplyDeleteMy what a cute therapy dog.
ReplyDeleteWe are all hurtng with you and Chris pet. xxxx
ReplyDeleteI always thought George was special. I think dogs can smell fear - and I think they can smell unhappiness too. Arrrooooo!
ReplyDeleteI am sure the other two are there for you also.
ReplyDeleteWinnie is too busy with her itchy fanny
DeleteThought that was a Japanese Motorbike? (old Scottish joke!)
DeleteEnjoy this special bond while it lasts - like Gill indicated, there are others in the wings ready to take that load off your shoulders as well. Just maybe not in such a demonstrative way as George
ReplyDeletePaws heart and head of a wise soul. Take comfort where you can. X
ReplyDeletegeorgie is hurting too; take comfort in each other.
ReplyDeleteAfter being with us 8 years i have just realised how bright he is
DeleteI just love George....in fact I love them all...especially Winnie with her problematic fanny !
ReplyDeleteIn their own ways they cope although you will never know, but I have always thought George is special & he is showing it now.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is a wise and loving soul . Amazing how they recognise pain and offer their love and a round tummy to pat. I think George is a clever little fellow , very interesting how he has been reacting to Meg's death . George is clearly a clever and intuitive soul. I am glad you have a tummy to pat and a boy who is looking after you xxx
ReplyDeleteHe's absolutely gorgeous, perhaps he is coming into his own now. Now that the pack has altered. A shift in dynamics is no bad thing. He is obviously wanting to comfort you and in doing so is comforting himself.
ReplyDeleteAs I said yesterday George is the steadfast one
ReplyDeleteAlways knows his place in the pack and very attuned . But with that heart of gold.
I am happy he is helping you out and you him.
Scotties are grand little souls, they pack a lot in thoes little bodies.
cheers, parsnip
Back from my holidays I am sending you a big hug in recognition of Meg;s passing. And i am also sending you some chin tickles for George.
ReplyDeleteDespite what a lot of people may think, animals do know when we humans are upset. My old kitty made it quite plain whenever I was upset. It's good to cry John and quite natural.
ReplyDeleteHugs

Aww. Fur soaks up tears very, very well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good boy is that George. Both of you feeling better with just one cuddle. Xoxox to you all.
ReplyDeleteBless George. He's there to help when we can't be.
ReplyDeleteI've always felt that plump little Terrier Buddha belly's are a universal cure for most everything. Well done George. X
ReplyDeleteGeorge has such a tender face. A good comforter with instinct.
ReplyDeleteAnimals know when we are hurting; and dogs are often used as therapy animals.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That is one adorable baby. He knows what you need and knows how to work it. He's taking care of you in his own way....
ReplyDeleteDon't discount the intuitiveness of animals. We have two Leonbergers and one died of cancer. The other one would not go into the room where his dog friend died. He never laid in the spot where his friend laid either. But often goes out to the garden and lays upon his friend's grave. It gives me goose bumps..
ReplyDeleteSweet George. He's my favorite of your pack. What a good little man he is!
ReplyDeleteDogs make the best doctors. God bless them.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
All of the above! I think he needs you and you him. Give that little round belly a scratch for me! xx
ReplyDeleteDogs know when they are needed. Thanks, George.
ReplyDeleteDogs are the fuzzy parts of god.
ReplyDeleteThere are some lovely comments here, John. Hope they give you some comfort.
ReplyDeleteI think of you every day.Your's animals are so "human"in the good sens.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when we desperately wish that our pets could talk, they 'connect' instead, which, in some ways, can be even better. Looks like your dear little Georgie has this ability - a further reason, if one were needed, to treasure him.
ReplyDeleteHugs x
ReplyDeleteI love those bear paws!
ReplyDeleteHe is very pretty, and very photogenic. Maybe you could get him on TV.
ReplyDeleteGood ol' George, looking after the master for us.xx
ReplyDeleteBless his little heart & Buddha belly xx
ReplyDeleteBless him.
ReplyDeleteI hope you offered him your tummy for him to rub too John hehe. Dogs just seem to know when things are bad. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a bit of doggy TLC - they know when it is needed.
ReplyDeletedogs are the best
ReplyDeleteHe's a lovely boy. Give him a cuddle from me x
ReplyDeleteA reminder for me of why I'm so taken with Scotties.
ReplyDeleteMilo and I are big George fans :-)
ReplyDeleteHe was just waiting in the wings for his turn to shine........xxx
ReplyDeleteI've never met George in person but I love him dearly.
ReplyDeleteWow he does have bear paws. Perhaps you will see a little more of him now, if he decides to share.
ReplyDeleteThe best kind of love during a sad spell. Animals I do believe have more compassion than many humans.
ReplyDeleteNow if that's not a sign that animals have feeling and can sense ours, I don't know what is. Georgie knows your sad and so is he. Take comfort in one another.
ReplyDeleteGood old George- knowing how to comfort you.
ReplyDeleteI love George!
ReplyDeleteStrange and lovely, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of Meg and George on your side bar! You can tell they love a cuddle!
ReplyDeleteDogs are humans in dog suits. They do indeed have human emotions but express them a little differently. George is an old soul who knows what you need and he gives his love and comfort freely. Give him a belly rub for me :-) Gayle
ReplyDeleteDear George, Have I told you lately that I Love You?! xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely George, very intuitive. Obviously loves you to bits too xx
ReplyDeleteDogs absolutely do know!!
