My new dog, Shaemus is just great. He seems to have taken on the role of Dave's protector. When I walk Dave down the hall, Shaemus follows alongside. This morning, Shaemus kept prancing back and forth from the bedroom to me in the living room. His happy tail was saying, "he's awake." And sure enough, Dave was awake.
The cat is another story. Mini the cat is jealous of Shaemus and has gotten so needy, looking for my attention. If I don't take the time to acknowledge him, he will grab my leg, claws digging in. Mini has taken to following Shaemus and me around the yard as Shaemus looks for his potty spot. This interrupts Shaemus's plan as to where he should pee. Ahh, patience I say and shush the cat away. Finally, the deed is done and we all head back to the house.
The good part of having a dog is probably obvious. Besides his companionship, Shaemus insists on a long walk , something I have been avoiding. I feel better already.
