[blparent] Surgery

[Veronica Smith]

Of course she already has a dog, so she knows what to do as does her family.
But I was talking from the point of view of going from no dog to having one.

Dogs have a place and time, and right now when mom is feeling the worse for
wear, a dog would be a bad investment.  Dogs are like children, they need
lots of love and care, not to mention vaccines.  They are fun and loving,
but expensive and time consuming.
Dogs are a man's best friend, but when you feel like the world is ending
everytime you move, dogs would be the last thing in the world I would want
to have.  she already has a child and that is enough right now.
Maybe after her surgery and after all the pain goes away, then and only then
should she and her family decide if a dog is what they need. Eric, I know
you mean well, but have you ever had a pain so great that it immobilizes
you.  How would you feel if you have to stop and clean up after him,
assuming that he is indeed house broken.

Rebecca, and Tammy:  I believe you're right, Rebecca and Tammy.  Surgery is
painful; I've had very few of them.  But it could be a traumatic experience.
It can wipe you out.  But, Shannan, it will help you.  I believe getting a
dog will take your minds off of surgery.  Dogs have a great sense of knowing
when something sad or happy comes.  Surgery?  Piece of cake!  A dog will
give you and your son a lot of attention, love, and affection.  Dogs know!
The silly boy, Eric, says: Dogs help.  They are our pro-tectors!  And, like
children, they'll love you unconditionally, especially when, Shannan, you're
about to have surgery.

Get it?
