Griffy the Caretaker


It's no secret how much I love this dog.  Yes he's adorable but more importantly he cares about every single member of our family.  He knows who might need a snuggle, or a lick on the face.  Hank has been really sick and Griffy knew just what to do.


He laid like that, wide awake while Hank slept. 


The other night, Griffy woke me up, scratching vigorously next to the bed.  Usually when he does that if he needs to go out.  So I opened our bedroom door to let him out.  He wouldn't go so I climbed back in bed.  He continued to scratch.  I got up and checked my phone and sure enough, Hank's blood sugar was low.  As I walked into the kitchen to get a juice box, Griffy followed and watched.  I went downstairs and gave Hank juice.  When I came upstairs he was peacefully asleep in our bed.  Coincidence, maybe, but still such a cool experience.  Usually my alarm wakes me up but it didn't for some reason.  So grateful for my sweet pooch who's apparently becoming a diabetes alert dog.


I had my own bout with illness a few days later.


This little angel.  Best. Dog. Ever.
