That is so sweet! Mandie hasn't reached that connection with me yet. I had a bad migraine this past weekend and she still found it necessary to squeak toys and bark. LOL
My big boy is another story. He is hyper, too. However, when I get sick with my migraines, it's like he knows and will just lay by feet or my head the entire time. When I let him out, on a normal day he barks at the squirrels, but when I'm migraining - he doesn't bark hardly at all.
I just think Mandie is still too young to get it. She still can make me laugh when I'm sick though ... love that about her
