Murphy and Bella are so patient!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

I hurt my leg last week and it's been a horrible week of pain and laying around with ice packs. Not a lot of ball throwing, walks, brushing or home cooking going on here. Normally I feel so bad when I don't have the time to play with my guys and they let me know they don't like it! Murphy usually brings all his balls, one by one and drops them at my feet. Then sits and stares at me till I get up. Bella usually goes from trash can to trash can finding little forbidden tidbits then prances in front of me, head held high with the object dangling out of her mouth singing "Catch me if you can!". Yes, she sings too.
But somehow they seem to know mom is down and out for the count and have been so calm and non- demanding. They have been playing contently among themselves, only asking to go out a few times a day, no balls piling up or trash cans being ransacked and both have been snugly and sweet laying near me on the bed or couch. They even seem to be watching TV with me which they never noticed before. Definitely being patient and I think they both deserve a big fresh marrow bone and a long walk as soon as I am up to it.

Sorry to hear about your leg. Hopefully it will get better soon.

[Anna and Achilles]

Hope you feel better soon, they are very good doodles!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

What good doodles, they do deserve a special treat when you're up to it, Sue. And I hope that is SOON!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Aw, good doods! It's amazing how intuitive dogs are... FEEL BETTER!

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Sounds like a good plan, isn't it great when they just rst and snuggle with you as if they know not to be naughty?

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Ahhhhh, that is so sweet Sue, hope you are yourself soon then you can show them how wonderful they are with play.

I still have to get all the shower pictures together and post, thanks for reminding me. I have only been able to do the most basic of activities and I have to go to work so all my energy goes into that. I can really empathize with people who live with chronic pain. It is exhausting. I am deciding on going to the ER today as it could be infected. I just know they will admit me for IV antibiotics and I so dread being a patient. I hope I can get DH to sneak my doodles in to visit! Kinda hard to sneak 125 pds of dogs in tho huh? Anyone got some Therapy Dog Vests I can borrow?

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

So sorry to hear the leg is still a problem ... BTW, did I miss the photos of the baby shower?

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a lousy week....hope that leg gets better soon.  Murphy and Bella, thanks for being such good and patient Doodles!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

What wonderful doodles you have.  Perhaps they are hoping Santa is watching and will bring them a special treat.
