For all the moms out there when your baby is sick and you feel so helpless! 24 hours of Tedy not eating, having diarrhea with bloody stools and throwing up, all made me so stressed and anxious today. When your service dog is sick that’s a paradigm shift. Tedy, Today I got to fully take care of you. Every effort was made to make sure you were okay. I can’t even imagine if this is how Tedy feels everyday taking care of me. He’s probably one of the most empathetic dog you will ever meet. He knows how to care for humans it’s just instinct to lick your face when he can tell something is off. One of my first panic attacks I had was when he was 4 months old. As I fell to the ground. He rushed to me and started licking my face as I was screaming in pain. He kept licking even when I would pull away. Little by little reality came back to me. He did that even before all his training. Now he’s almost 6 months and it’s the first time he’s been sick like this. Sometimes I forget he’s still a puppy because of how mature he is. Anyway, I’m awake having trouble getting to sleep because Tedy is amazing and in reflecting that I’ll try remembering reality and the fact I need to sleep. Or at least try. (One eye open on you Tedy, if you need me)
