I woke up with the flu this weekend — never a fun thing. I’ve been taking things slow, and laying around with lots of blankets and pillows…and animals. Pom Pom has always had this innate ability to detect moments when I’m not feeling well — headaches, naeusea, sadness — and will always stick extra close to comfort me. Now that I have three other pets, I’ve noticed that they also do the same thing.

It’s really amazing how our pets can always sense it when we need them. Call it intuition, pet ESP or good old animal senses, all I know is that when I’m not feeling so hot, there’s no one I’d rather have with me than my psychic babies giving me doggie kisses on my hand.
