I think almost everyone can relate. I have two dogs, my Chi, Roman and my Saint, Sadie and I also have 5 cats. I feel so blessed to have all of them, but I hate showing favoritism, but there is just something special about my Roman. I don't know if it is because while my mom was dealing with her breast cancer he was able to go down and visit her with me or what, but there is just something special. I love going into bed after a long or hard day and he curls up under the covers with me. My baby boy. I love him.

At the worse point If I did not have to get up to feed and love my boy I probably would not have. Since I have gotten a bit better, everyday when I wake up I sing him a little song (very off key, thank goodness no humans hear it, sort of like "Morning has Broken" by Cat Stevens but with some made up lyrics) to thank him for being there and acknowledge all I have: my health, our food, our roof, and him. Its become our silly morning ritual, usually he sleeps by my feet and when he hears me stir to wake he comes up by my face so we can have our little morning lullaby and kissy time. And there have been days when I wake up and just start to spin out in my head on my problems and then he reminds me its time for that wacky song and belly kissing and every single time it makes me feel better. I feel so blessed and cannot imagine how it was without him. (I actually have good memories from way back before I had him that now I seem to remember as if he were there----wow that sounds crazy) > :-) > > all our best, > michelle and henry > Catskill Mountains, NY > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Sent: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:32 AM > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Chihuahuaa as therapy dogs > > > I have a genetic blood disease that has left me permenently disabled > and suffering from chronic pain.
