I think it's amazing how animals know when something's not quite right. Recently I was struck down with a nasty tummy bug. Living in an apartment and having a dog that refuses to use a balcony pet loo, this meant poor Barky Boy had to hang on a loooong time before he got to go to the toilet. Did he kick up a fuss? No, instead he spent the days snuggled up to me (a rarity) with his head on my stomach, occasionally giving it a lick when it gave a particularly noisy groan.
Sorry for the terrible picture, but I was really sick and couldn't be bothered faffing about with a camera! |
When the stomach bug finally passed, nurse Barkly took a well deserved rest:
