Skunky Therapy

I really do believe animals are particularly sensitive.

My son who is 12, has a chest infection and his breathing became such a struggle that he was admitted to hospital on Thursday and kept overnight.

Since we've got home, Mr Snuggles has snuggled up with him, he's currently on his lap under his dressing gown. Normally he snuggles up with me, but since Matthew's been ill he's been with him. It's really sweet.

Aww, to be honest I think the same thing, but ive had experience with dogs and doing it. I really do think they know when were upset or ill and like to comfort us, just like we would them,

my OH mum was pregnant and bam laid on her tummy for ages where the baby was... i think she could hear his heart beat and found it soothing. when we tried to get her off she was over protective of jons mum! lol

Mr Snuggles is probably the best hot water bottle you could ever have he will help Metthew sweat the infection out

Animals sure do know when we aint feeling good - I was feeling off colour one day & decided to take a nap on the sofa, as I lay down Indy my Blue & Gold macaw came out with "You alrite Dad?" clear as day & bang on que I certainly fell asleep with a smile on my face that day.

They do seem to have a sixth sense don't they

[MrsP]

Here he is, you can tell it's the child because he's clutching at the PSP.

[Fixx]

Nah, he's not being sensitive, he's being a skunk and has used his cunning wiles. He has realised that the sickly human is more than likely to spend the entire day sprawled on the couch, under a blanket, playing video games, and being waited on hand and foot, and if said skunk plays his cards right he could well have a dead cushty day crashed out on the couch, with occasional nibbles being provided by aforementioned sickly child.

He's a doozer of a skunk Mrs P.

[MrsP]

You're quite right, apart from the nibbles bit!

Matt knows not to give him handouts! But the rest is true!
