Emotional support 🐶🐾🦴

My Shipoo Sophie is a big part of my support system. My husband bought her for me when we first started dating and she is 15 years old. She has been with me through College, us traveling for work, through having 3 kids and everything in between. We have grown up together and she has been my emotional support dog for a long time. She loves our kids so much when I was pregnant with each one she snuggled right by my belly any time I sat down and she always gets up at night with me (she has with every baby) and sits right beside me while I am feeding them. She has recently started to decline in health so I do not know how much longer we will have her here with us but I am so thankful for every day that I do get with her.

That is just the sweetest thing ever. What a good dog! You guys have been through so much together. The kind of loyalty our dogs give us is so priceless. I’m sorry to hear your doggy’s health is declining. I hope she is okay!
