One Big Chase

You help me

Chase,

I know this is a "Doggie blog" but I really have no where else to put this, so bare with me. I wish you could read this..

It's been 1 month and 4 days since your human grandma has passed away. For the last month I have been keeping myself busy with getting everything together, getting bills into our name and things of that sort. Well, things have calmed down and finally.. my heart was able to catch up to my head. I am finally feeling that hole in my heart, the hurt in my heart. I have been having a really hard time dealing with your grandma's death over the last couple of days, which I know you already know.

I want you to know, you are an angel Chase. When your dad isn't home and at work, I feel sad and lonely.. I feel lost and depressed. This morning was one of those extra hard mornings. I laid in bed and cried.. I sobbed. And what do you do? You come over to me and lay your head on my chest, you lick my tears and look up at me with your big beautiful amber eyes as if to tell me "It's okay Mom, I'll take care of you". You let me hold you and cry into your fur until your fur was wet.. and when my tears finally dried you gave me a kiss, something I know you don't do often, then you laid your head on my chest and went to sleep with me. When I woke up, you were still there. How did I get so lucky to have a dog like you?

I know I haven't been the best dog mom lately, I haven't been taking you on walks or working with you training wise. But I promise you, things will get back to normal sooner or later. But, until then.. I know I can count on you. I can count on you to be there for me when dad can't, I know I can count on you to be a good boy.. even when you haven't had a walk in a couple of weeks.

Chase, between you and your dad I know things will get better and I will get myself out of the hurt and sadness I am feeling right now. You are with me all day and keep me company.. You love me to the end of this earth and Chase.. I love you. You are the best last minute decision I have ever made.

So, thank you Chasey Boy.. thank you for being the dog...... friend I need.

I love you my big goofy ball of fur.

Get better mom! Sheesh!

Mom has been sick ALL week! Last night she had me really worried! She said she had a really bad head ache and was sick to her stomach and couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned and moaned.. And I heard her tell dad that she keeps over-heating then getting really cold. Dad fell asleep and around 2am mom was still up, feeling yucky. I came over to her and laid my head on her leg, she gently pet my head and told me not to worry.. She then sat up because her stomach started to hurt.. I was right there with her! I followed her all the way to the bathroom, I usually do this.. but this time I stayed right outside of the door and cried for her! I wanted to be in there with her! She needs me! She came out and laid back down, I laid right next to her and she put her arm around me and I just laid there, she petted my head over and over telling me I was such a good boy, what an amazing dog I truly am.. until she finally fell asleep. When she woke up, I was still there waiting for her. She got dad up and he had to go off to work.. so until dad gets home, I'm watching her. I've been sitting right next o her all day, making sure my head is on her lap (even as we type this my head is rested on her knee). Anytime she gets up, I'm right there to make sure everything is okay.

Mom tells me it's nothing more then a cold and she'll be fine.. But I want her fine right now! So I can go back to being my crazy self!

It's safe to say, I love my mom.

Why is everyone sick!?

Dad just got over being sick.. He spent 3 days home last week and I took it upon myself to take care of him! I'd lay with him, follow him around to make sure he was okay when he got up and was always there to give him kisses! Usually I'm very much a mama's boy, but when daddy's sick.. he needs some extra love so I'm more then happy to give it to him! Well, dad finally got better and he had to go back to work (which sucks, I like when dad is home!). So, I figured.. hey I can go back to not having to worry so much! Well, mom woke up this morning and isn't feeling the best! She has a running nose and feels much more tired the normal, but can't sleep. SO, there goes my "rest time" *sigh* Humans! Mom keeps looking at me and telling me I don't gotta worry, but I will! I'll make sure to keep an extra close eye on her (more then I already do!) and make sure I'm there to give her plenty of kisses and cuddles while dad is as work! After all, when dad is gone I look at myself as "the man of the house" :D

Silly mom! Get better so we can go to the dog park and run and play!
