Since I work full time our Shitzu spends most of the day with my partner Lorraine. He always come to greet me when I come home but cuddles up to Lorraine on a night. It is strange prior to finding out that I had mouth cancer he would come and sit with me and it was weird on the day of my diagnosis we were watching a film about a dog that was reincarnated as different breeds but helped his owner in various ways and just as the film was ending Benji came and he gave me a lick on the face which he normally doesn't do. Most People would say this is just a coincidence but I really believe animals have a sixth sense. Since I have had my surgery he has gone back cuddling up with Lorraine on the sofa. My cancer journey has been a relatively easy (for which I am grateful) but what it has done has made me realise that there is more to life than work. Thank you for listening xx
