Dutch Shepherd Forum

Just had to share how sweet my puppy has been. Went to visit the parents which usually includes Bella running around like a mad dog wrestling with my dad's Dutch River. We'll about two hours later the headache I'd been nursing turned into a really bad case of the stomach flu. I became detained in the bathroom no need for detail lol Bella suddenly went from madman Dutch to moms sweet little nurse completely ignoring her best bud to wait and whine outside the bathroom door. We left as soon as I felt up for the drive home and getting into the car she was on her best behavior loading nice and quiet. Arriving home it was the same she settled down going into the house which NEVER happens. Then her being the smart Dutch that she is followed me into bed laying her head down gently on my upset stomach giving me tiny little kisses on my arm as if to say it ok mom I'm here ill take care of you. She didn't leave my side the whole night and even stayed quiet the next morning. Who knew that my crazy little tazmanian devil could have such a senstitive nursing side. Anyways just had to share thought it was sooo sweet.

they really do understand. she sounds like a sweetheart.
my craziest puppies have always been quiet and gentle from the start with pregnant women; and whenever i was not doing well [ and not realizing it or simply resistant to going to the doctor ] TraceDog would make a beeline from our front door to the doctors office. arriving at the office, i sometimes would have to say that i did not know why i was there, but TD thought i had to come. my doctor was in awe of TD, his respect for TD exceeding all except mine and my assistant's who also knew TD so well.

Mom's little Florence Nightingale.

Thalie is the same way. Dogs are natural healers.

My big bruiser sprained my knee REALLY BAD and then walked carefully next to me allowing me to use him as a crutch when I had to hop 1/2 mile home from the park. So sweet.

awww!!!
They do really seem to "get it."
