rescue pets…
Your topic Sunshine Golden Retriever Rescue, LLC ” Blog Archive ” CHARLIE was interesting when I found it on Saturday searching for rescue pets…
My boyfriend, Andy, is recovering from his second Skull-based/brain surgery.
After his first surgery, he found that having my Yorkie, Ben, with him was very beneficial to his recovery. Here are some reasons why-
He didn’t feel alone and said that he found strength in the quiet moments of companionship. Just watching TV, or Ben on his lap, while he read or in the crook of Andy’s knees, while he napped. Ben was a constant companion, always laying very closely and very quietly, waiting for him to heal.
Ben didn’t care if Andy sat mute for entire days (which he did, at times, for days), or ranted about the guest on the daily Oprah show, or spent the whole day watching CNN, or if Andy wept…or shouted “how unfair this illness is!!!”Oh, those steroids they pumped through his veins during “chemo”, could bring on such rage!!!…but my Benny didn’t mind…He was close to his master and that was good enough for him!
Ben gave him the “need” to get up, because he had to be taken care of and fed. Ben would somehow carry his heavy glass food dish, in his little Yorkie teeth and bring it to Andy’s feet. Even if he was fed in the kitchen, he would then bring the full bowl out to the living room, to eat next to Andy… Why? Because Benny is a social eater!
Ben entertained him-either by acting like or chasing the cats that were three times his size (Ben actually “stalks” the cats!), or frantically searching for a place to hide his newly earned treat or alerting him to pesky squirrels and trespassing meter readers! Errrrgh!
Lastly, Ben had to be walked- at first, they could only sit on the porch waiting for healing and strength in the early spring sun, then they could get to the corner newspaper machine, about 100 yards, but they did have goals and they were stubborn, soon they were able to walk all the way downtown and get a coffee at Starbucks, enjoying the sun…and true companionship!
With Andy’s second surgery, without any hesitation, we moved Ben right back in with Andy and of course, I will miss my little guy when I return from my own daily battles, but I know very soon, he will be downtown, lapping up water and attention, sitting in front of Starbucks, with his dearest friend, his Master…his Andy…
