He’s just so lovely 💖

All our dogs are lovely all the time 🥰🌹 (well mostly 💩).

But then there are times they do something that makes you reach out and give them an extra awww 🤗

For me, last night that was Troy. Troy whose general demeanour might be described as as gentle as a slap with an iron bar, as calm as an ADHD toddler after an overdose of e-numbers, and as biddable as an adolescent experiencing puberty. 🤪

Last night, less than 2 minutes after filling a hot water bottle straight from a just boiled kettle (yes I KNOW you’re not supposed to do that), and placing it between my back and the sofa, I became conscious of a stinging wet sensation.

The bottle had sprung a leap.💦

Jumped to my feet and husband helped me bathe back with cold water before wrapping an ice pack in a tea towel to try and relieve the burn. 🥶

Both dogs hearing me yell were obviously concerned. 🐶

But Troy wouldn’t leave my side. He gave me some very gentle kisses and kept trying to sniff at my back to find out what I’d done. 🐕

When I didn’t let him he came and sat very close to me, not prodding or doing anything disruptive, but just being there with me. 🐾

Sometimes that’s exactly what you need. And I really appreciated him 💖
