I'm telling that dog has more personality and intuition than any dozen people I know. Something I've noticed since he's been here -- before @OK Corgi Rancher brought me Snoop when my pain levels were really high I tended to isolate and be a bit ... Ahem, well ... "Short". I have no doubt I took it out on Grumpy sometimes. A lot. Because, God bless him, he NEVER stops talking. LolThat ear stickin straight up has made my day. LOL
Anyway, Snoop has changed that -- he absolutely will NOT let you be grumpy. He even makes Grumpy laugh. Lol The antics this dog comes up with -- Today when I opened the door to the pantry he went in and sniffed every single square inch of it. Inspected EVERY can on every shelf he could reach. And when he was done he looked at me like "Good job, Mom!" bumped me with his nose and went on his merry way.
The bottom line is he absolutely won't let you focus on the bad. He has some kind of sixth sense and will do whatever he has to get you to play and laugh. And on the days where it's really bad and all I can do is count the time down to my next dose of meds, he will lay next to me on the bed and put his head on my shoulder and make this noise like he's trying to purr. I swear. And it is the most soothing sound on the planet. He really has been what we've needed around here for a very long time. He has SO much love to give -- it just oozes out of every pore on his body. He really is one of a kind. And we ALL adore him -- even Dawg and MissPriss think he's a thang. Haha!
