"Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation, and almost as good for the soul as prayer." - Dean Koontz
This is Zelda. She is my Constant Companion. She has been close by my side this past week. She was waiting for me when I came home from the hospital after getting my port put back in.
She was there 2 days later when I came home from my chemo infusion.
She was there through the next 3 days of sickness, fever, and pain.
And she's been by my side supervising my many naps, the delivery of gifted meals, and quiet time in my beautiful backyard. She has greeted visitors, encouraged gentle exercise with short walks around our neighborhood, and reminds me that a little sunshine and fresh air is essential for good health.
"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive." - Gilda Radner
She really is the best dog ever.
