I know that when she gets kind of breathy and her heart goes fast, like when she's nervous, I'm supposed to do something. I really perk up when things aren't right and wiggle around, try to get her attention, check her out--sniffing and stuff.

Today, she was lying on her back on the floor with her legs crossed like a pretzel and taking big, long breaths. I could tell whatever it was hurt, so I sprung into action. I put my nose in her neck and pushed and then smelled her breath for awhile. What the heck? Then I sat down. She said "good girl, I'm okay" then crossed her other leg and started doing that thing again...breathing, long breaths like she did at the dentist's office, but this time she was on the floor. I'm on it! I got into her neck again. She said the same thing, "I'm okay" but still. It just seems wrong. She said, "Rethy, I'm stretching." Whatever. I didn't want to leave her though, so I curled up under her arm, next to her chest so I could feel her heart beat. I stayed there until she was ready to get up. She gave me a big hug and said "you're da bomb!" I know that's really good.

I'm not sure what she wanted from me with all of that, but I do know I was a good girl. It wasn't about playtime, I knew that. I'm glad she's okay.
