Today, I want to talk about pets, specifically our dog! What to do with Gus while we're gone for a month? Well, our son Alex has graciously agreed to live at our house and care for Gus while we are in Mexico! What a relief! It's hard enough being away from our family and yes our Gus. Just knowing he's with someone who loves him is such a relief. We've had him since he was a puppy and it's going to be hard for us to leave him! He is with me all day long! Maybe we can Skype him😀??
I know he's just a dog, but he is like a human to us. A part of our family! The sad part is when we get home, after undergoing chemotherapy, I can't love on him (hug and kiss) for probably a few months. There is too great a risk for infection. You know, dog germs😷!! I will have to be very careful and wash my hands after petting him. Also, keeping him clean will be a challenge. Sorry Gus, you can't be in the bed with us!
But, it's all worth it as he brings so much joy and cuteness to our lives! He loves us unconditionally, and that alone should decrease my stress😀. Hopefully he'll help me to heal after my treatment.
Thank you Alex!! We're grateful for you and your willingness to help! I'm at peace knowing that you'll be here taking good care of him:-)
