I got one.

A emotional support dog.

The Doctors, all 3, agreed it would help keep me motivated, physical moving and emotionally grounded.

His name is Sunny Honey Bunny, Sonny for short.
He is a 5 year old chihuahua mix.

He is very well trained. He knows to wake me up at 7am for breakfast and meds. Knows I need to be walked two times a day at least. He also knows I need a nap at noon and bed at 9PM.

He knows that I'm to take my meds at 8am, noon,4pm, and bedtime. He will give me this stare at these times till I do. After he sees me take them he is happy again.

She knows I take meds at 7 and at 10 in the evening. I like to eat a bite of food to make sure the pills go down, so she gets a treat when I do. Smart, opportunistic kitty ) And I love her to dearly!

I'm not the first to have him. Apparently there was an elderly woman who had him first. So he knows his job well.

I'm getting the 3rd degree about it too.

It's just hard to go to sleep when the pain starts.
