And let me clarify, this dog is not just a dog. Jeff is in a wheelchair and Howard is a service dog so he goes everywhere with Jeff. The only time he isn't with Jeff is when Jeff is at the races, the noise was too loud and Howard refused to wear ear muffs. Jeff has had him since Donovan and I met in 1997. So imagine your dog...only he isn't outside while you are gone. Imagine your lover, though he never goes to work all day long. They are NEVER apart! That's how much this dog means to my brother. They sleep in the same bed! lol
Anyway, if you could pray for Jeff too, he isn't getting any sleep. Howard tries to rub his eye while Jeff sleeps so Jeff has been sleeping in his wheelchair...well, more like not sleeping in his wheelchair. Howard was thrashing himself around for 4 hours last night and Jeff can't stop him. Jeff has no appetite and now has a kidney infection from the stress.
So if you could add Howard and Jeff to your prayer list we would all greatly appreciate it.
Here is Howard in case you are curious, he is a gorgeous and incredibly sweet golden retriever.
