What to do...
I have a very sad human here. My mom is not doing well at all. She cries a lot and frankly I am stumped as to what to do. I try very hard to be good and make her laugh and feel better. Sometimes it works but sometimes...well, a lot of the time it doesn't work. So I lay down and think a lot about things but often I fall asleep doing just that, thinking. I get up in her lap and try to make her feel better. Sometimes it works. I know that she pets my fur I think she feels better. Somehow doing that makes her feel as if her love has somewhere to go. I like it lot but I know she needs more than must a dog with great fur to pet. I look into her eyes and I see so much unhappiness. She keeps mumbling about not leaving me and that she simply does not know what to do.
I know she has friends but they don't come around much. She thinks that they are getting tired of her being sad so much. If that's the truth, they aren't being very good friends. She needs lots of encouragement to get out of the house. Yeah she spends a lot of time at home with me. And when she feels a little better she takes me for a walk. I get distracted and that sort of bugs her but she's pretty good about things. Sometimes she carries me home because we have been going so fast I get tired and want to just sit down a minute. But she gets a little impatient, though she never hurts me, and she will pick me up, hold me to her should and carry me home.
I just have a view of the world receding instead of progressing...makes for interesting dreams.
When we are out front in the outdoor room, I get to scamper wherever I want, but she just sits on the wooden bench under the Japanese maple trees and stares at her flower bed under the Leyland cypress. Sometimes she holds her head in her hands for a long time. So long, that I have to come over and make sure she's ok. She usually is if she hasn't been crying...
So if you are in the neighborhood and stop by to see her, tell it it will be ok, and that she is cared about...maybe invite her to dinner or out for soda. Maybe take her to a movie SHE would like to see. It could help, 'cause I get worried. I don't want anything to happen to my mom.
Hopefully,
Dragon

Hi, Dragon. We're Rosie & Jenny and we have a human who's been sad a lot, too. We just found your blog and wish we'd written to you sooner.
Just keep loving your human. Even though we blog sometimes and fun around about thinking our feline species is so superior to human, we do love our human very much. We know when she's hurting. So we do the symbiosis thing: She pets us, which makes both her and us feel better. In fact, we sometimes fight with each other who will get Psalmist's lap first.
And pray for your human. Pray that she gets the right medicine to help her feel better. Pray that her human friends call and write and visit. Pray that God eases her loneliness and helps her feel how deeply her Maker loves her. And pray with your paws and "kissing" tongue and warm body and great fur. We like those kinds of prayer the best. Psalmist calls it "prayer in action."
You sound like a great dog. (There ARE such things!) Catherine is blessed to have you, and we think she knows it. Psalmist quite rightly thanks God every day for both of us. ;)
Love from Rosie & Jenny
Dear Rosie and Jenny. Thanks for stopping this old pup's blog. My human is better these days, tho she cries sometimes and I don't know why. But then, she lays down next to me on the floor and we cuddle. I think it makes her feel better.
You have a wonderful human to care for you and need you. My human just gets plain lonely for other hairless ones but I'm glad I can be here.
Thank you for coming by, my feline friends and for your good words about my human.
Love,
Dragon
