Life gets rough for everyone and I am not excluded from that. However, most of the time I take things a little more roughly than other people might. I'm an easily excited person, both bad and good. When something bad happens sometimes it feels like the end of the world. I stress, no, I FEAR that something bad is going happen. A fear so strong that I used to hide in my home for days, afraid to leave the house. It used to be difficult to find a reason to get up out of bed and do the things I need to do. 

Clue has changed my life. He's that important being in my life that lets me know that I can't stay in bed all day. Sure, sometimes it's frustrating and I just want to lay in bed and pout, but he cries at me till I get up. I might whine and complain about it as I put on my slippers, clip on his leash and take him outside. But when we get outside I find out it is a beautiful day and Clue is more than happy to share it with me.

He's that smiling face that greets me when I get home from a rough day at work. Clue has the best smile, and it is extremely contagious. He's honestly happy to see me no matter if I have been gone five minuets or eight hours. No one is ever that happy to see me! It's an amazing feeling. 

Just the other day I was laying on my couch,  upset over a phone call from my grandma, letting me know she has cancer. It made me feel ill myself and I couldn't bring myself to stop crying, when without calling, or signalling, Clue jumped onto the couch and laid down on my chest with his head on top of his paws. He looked me straight in the eyes and let out a deep sigh. Like he understood how I was feeling, and he was sorry, but things were going to be okay. He just let me hold him there for the longest time without even wiggling once. How amazing is that?

I find myself now going on long walks, visiting the dog park, Clue even joins me in the car for a ride when running to the store. I get out a lot more than I used to. He makes everything easy. He makes everything better. Who knew someone so small could change your life so much. I love him more than anything, he is my baby, he is my support, he is my reason.

I'm so sorry about your Gran, Rebecca.  Clue knows that you are hurting and he wants to help.  He sounds like a most wonderful pooch.

Perhaps you should consider having him get certified as a therapy dog?  When I saw how Nimh react to my father who had severe Alzheimers and how my Dad reacted to Nimh, I knew he was made to be a therapy dog...and he is and he's much loved by the folks at the VA nursing home we visit a couple times a month.  Perhaps Clue and you would make a wonderful therapy team!  I think that doing the therapy stuff has helped me in countless ways, too.
