My daughters beloved pet rat died last night, she'd had her for a couple of years. It might seem like a small thing to a lot of people but to her it was devastating. The only thing that gave her any comfort was a big ole basset with sympathetic eyes. My daughter was bawling and Cannoli was so worried, she just wouldn't leave her side. When I finally got my daughter calmed down and tucked in Cannoli was right there with her. I know from experience how comforting a dog can be, it was so nice to see that at work for my baby.
BTW, how fun is parenting? I ask sarcastically. After I put my daughter to bed my boyfriend and I stood looking at a dead rat in a cage sitting on the dining table. I looked at him and said "I don't want to touch a dead rat." We got it all figured out though and buried her in the yard. As we were finishing up about 11pm a thunder storm was rolling in. We got to the door amidst the roll of thunder and crash of lightening only to discover we'd managed to lock ourselves out. The dogs barked at us from inside while we pounded on the door. I would say I need to teach those lazy beasts to open doors, but that would probably be a bad idea eh? Long story short my daughter got up and let us in, the rat is interred under a rose bush and I've got some coffee to get me through the morning.
