And I don\u2019t mind one little bit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pup woke me about 1AM because he had the hiccups and wanted to go out. He came back in about 30 minutes later and was not his usual bouncy self. He curled up on the couch, and I sat with him for another half hour while he snoozed next to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes if he\u2019s not feeling well, he\u2019ll need to go out several times in quick succession. Last night he didn\u2019t, do the usual thing. After a while I went back to bed and he joined me taking his usual spot at the foot of the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 6:45AM I\u2019ve got a puppy nose in my ear. Opening my eyes, I see a very worried look on the pups face.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I know that look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I roll out of bed and he\u2019s already at the sliding door. I open the door, and he makes it out onto the deck and tosses his cookies. I\u2019m pulling on sweats and heading for a kettle of water to rinse the deck. He\u2019s already down stairs in the yard retching again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You feel so helpless when they\u2019re sick. After a couple of minutes he comes slowly back up the stairs. I open the slider and follow him inside. He gets a small drink of water, then jumps back up on the couch curled up Husky fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where we are now, I\u2019m sitting here beside him. He\u2019s not curled up, instead he\u2019s alternating between having his head propped against the arm of the couch, or having his head propped against me. (I think the alternation is about being too hot on one side or the other.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So my day is now all about attending to my sick friend. It\u2019s only fair, he\u2019s taken very good care of me these past months so I\u2019m happy to return the favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I notice that he wakes up every half hour or so, looks around, finds me in the room, then goes back to sleep. I guess he figures I\u2019m watching the doors and windows for him so he\u2019s safe and all is well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to try for a nap later in the day. But right now I think I\u2019ll tackle the job search. At least I\u2019ll be able to knock that off my ToDo list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
