    This is loyalty

    A co-worker of mine has been not at work for three days. Today, she returned to work and I asked where she had been. She informed me that her dog was sick. She went on to explain that the dog began having seizures and was off her food. She said the dog was crying and wanted only to sit in her lap, and the test at the vet hadn't come back yet to explain what it is. She said that her dog had been right beside her when she had cancer and she just had to be there for her now. I work at a primarily human-centered place and I'm sure a lot of folks will scoff about this. I admire her loyalty to her dog.

    Sending good thoughts for the noble creature. That's the way it should work, after all, to most of us here they are family.

    She obviously loves her dog. WE understand why people do these things, many people do not and they are LESS HUMAN.

    Sending our world famous MOJO for her dog and herself and a few prayers to help.

    Oh, I (and many people here) totally understand. That is a very sweet story, and she's a wonderful fur-momma for being there for her dog like that.

    When I worked, did it and would do it again. Your coworker has her priorities straight.

    Please pass on healing prayers.
