I just read Jane’s story about her cats. I completely understand. Two weeks before I was told that I had a secondary spread, my youngest dog decided that he was going to stay in my room at night. He had slept quite happily with my older dog for 4 years. That coincided with my scan! When I wake during the night he is there to comfort me and seems to be on high alert for when that happens. Only other pet owners understand the bond we develop with our animals.
