My Darling Jack

[Jennifer and Jack]

Today I had a crappy day to say the least, I have not been feeling well, It is hotter then h e double hockey sticks here and I have felt pretty tired and no matter how much sleep I get still feel tired.

 

Jack has been getting on my nerves with how clingy he has been to me, (pee pee licking aside) He won't leave me alone for one second, If I am sitting he is on my lap, If I stand up he is clawing at me. If I am sleeping he won't leave my feet.

 

He cries when I go to the potty an dog forbid, I shut the door. It has totally being driving me mad....

 

This morning, I really had it with him, I was trying to take a shower and get ready for a doctors appointment, the baby I am watching was sleeping and there Jack sat barking and barking into the air.. I finally told him to shut up.. in a very unkind way. I kicked him out of my bed room and finished getting ready to go to the doctor.

 

I literally had to pry Jack off my leg, he would not be swayed with a treat or even cheese which is what I normally give him when I am at my wits end with training and want him to comply.

 

I quickly shut the door in his face and off I wen to the doctor....my doctors appointment went terrible, and that is an understatement.. I apparently by not wearing my oxygen have damaged my heart. They decided to test me on a six minute walk to see how I was breathing, literally I won't share how bad it was... so needless to say, I am back on oxygen, big ugly green tanks and all.

 

When I came home and I walked in the door.. I had my oxygen on and I sat down. Jack licked my face and then sat at my feet and let out big heave..... and is fast asleep........

 

It just now hit me that my dog, my beloved Jack has been trying to tell me like he knows how to do, that I was sick and that I needed to get medical attention. He was antsy, panting and nervous for the past week... I thought I was just losing my patience with him because I was so tired.. Little did I know he was trying to tell me to take care of myself.

 

Jack Daniels, you are the perfect dog for me and I am so sorry I didn't know what you were trying to say...

 

I love you forever....

 

You crazy, stubborn Mom
