Sitting here thinking of my wife as Duncan pup cuddles his niece.

Granddaughter is almost five months old I put sweet baby on day bed to lay after changing her diaper and bottle. And uncle Dunc the Golden jumps up and stretches out next to her so she does not roll off.

Dunc says father didn’t you read Dr. Spock child rearing we must protect and cuddle the human puppies.

Uncle Dunc brought toys to cuddle laying toys squeaky toy next to baby with his niece. Dunc he lays next to granddaughter rubbing his face with paws play sneezing. Dogs do that saying I love you I’m not threat dogs are so sweet.

Dogs are the best. How sweet that Dunc understands he is your helper in keeping the “human puppies” safe. TY for sharing this tender moment with us.

I'm not mystical or believing in supernaturalism, but in situations like yours I amuse myself and comfort myself with thoughts like "If anyone's spirit is in that dog, it would be your wife". Protective and caring.

Someone passed away after going blind and having donated monthly to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind for years before getting symptoms and after. Not long after, I saw their neighbour was training a guide dog for the blind. It just sorta happened, a coincidence, but one can enjoy how fitting and a propos it was.
