scythe “Personally speaking, Spot ain’t goin’ nowhere. Spot is sleepin’ just where he has been for the past nine years. On his own blanket, sharing a pillow with my other half. Spot is lovely to listen to at night when the house is quiet and dark, just before sleep silences all and you hear him enjoying his rest. He is the best for those cold winter nights when the thermostat is turned down and there is a slight chill and his warmth is shared with cold feet. And when Spot stands, stretches and reaches over to gently give a kiss good night? Well. Need I say more? Out out damned Spot? Never.”
scythe…you are my hero 
There has been at least one, and often 3, dogs in my bed for over 40 years. Never ‘caught’ a damn thing from them…but they have healed my heart and soul many times.
