My Dog Can Be So Sassy And Grumpy - Blog Posts

i love my dog so much

yesterday i was wailing in my room in intense abdominal pain, and my dog baxter was licking my hands and sniffing me. i ended up having to leave in a rush to go to the er, and discovering i had appendicitis. i had to stay overnight at the er to wait for my surgery for appendix removal this morning (it went well!), so i asked my housemate to take baxter out to the bathroom for me while i was away.

she couldn’t make him leave my bed. he refused to leave and i know he needed the bathroom. he’s 13 years old and on a routine for his bathroom breaks. but he wouldn’t leave. to the point that he growled and nipped at my housemate’s hands when she tried to pick him up and make him go.

he refused to leave last night. he refused to leave this morning. he refused until i got home and he knew i was back and i was going to be okay. he needed to keep watch over my room and wait for me.

i’m home and in bed now and he’s cuddling up next to me. his tail won’t stop wagging. he’s such a sweet old man.
