I'm having a lupus flare up and I think Sandy could tell after a few minutes of observing me. She came over for pets and treats after I took this pic. We didn't do any brushing or anything. I just wanted to say hi before I prepped her alfalfa cubes.

Hope you feel better soon! Seems like my animals can also tell when I'm having a rough one.

I caught an infection that gave me vestibular neuritis while at my in-law’s last year. The first day when I was in really bad shape and running a low fever my dog spent the whole day curled up in bed with me, not her normal activity there. She just knew something was wrong. When I was doing a little better and was able to sit in the living room she got very excited!

Omg, look how much she's filled out! I think I've missed a few of your posts, Sandy looks so healthy and happy!

She is! She's finally considered not overweight! She's also gaining muscle, which I didn't expect!

Moving her was such a good idea. She's thriving!

Sorry to hear that you're feeling under the weather. I enjoy all your Sandy posts.

I read "chase" as "chess" and got confused for a moment when I clicked on the picture.

Ty! It's the changing of the seasons. It gets me every time, esp when it gets colder. It'll take a couple weeks to adjust.
