Our Furry Friends
Has anyone noticed a change in behaviour from their dogs and cats whilst you were ill? I know its a fact that certain dogs can, or can be trained to smell cancer! Thats a bit weird....personally I'd prefer a human medical diagnosis.
Anyhow, I've got 2 cats and the one, Max has definatly been paying more attention to me since I was diagnosed. Now, Max, is a very bad kitty. He's young about 1 yr 2 months, and is always in trouble for something.... but he gets away with it as hes such a lover boy and a snuggler. No doubt though, every time I hit the sack at night or go to take a wore out tired nap, Max is there, strangely snuggling at my neck.

German Shorthair
I have a 5 year old german shorthair that is very active. When I came home to recover from surgury she would lay beside my recliner (normally she would jump on me with a ball). When I got home from chemo and radiation (I did it in another city so I was gone for a while) she could smell something had happened in my mouth. She sniffs my mouth constantly and tries licking me. She still does this so I tell my wife I must still have radation and or sores in me that are healing becuase I know 100% she can tell I'm not yet myself. Man, I love pets!

I live with one cat, so you
I live with one cat, so you can imagine we're very close. She's been taking care of me a lot, these last weeks. Always checking after me, giving me instant comfort. Yes, I think she knows I'm going through hard times.
Of course, she's also very happy about the fact that I'm home all day, spending a lot of time napping.
