I agree with all the other posters. When I am sad or crying Shiloh climbs up in my lap and nuzzles me. Sometimes he even brings me his favorite blankie to cuddle with. I guess cause it soothes him he thinks it will do the same for me.
Along the same lines I also think that they can tell when you are sick. I had cancer about a year ago (yay for remission!) and when I took radiation/chemo therapy I was constantly nauseous. Shiloh would come into the bath room with me and whimper non stop. Then he would run around the house barking his head off frantically searching for someone to come help me. He would grab their pants leg and tug them towards my bathroom.
Honestly I wouldn't know what would do if something happened to my little guy. He isn't just a pet to me, he is part of the family. |
