I don’t remember much about yesterday, Maria said I didn’t speak all afternoon and evening. I did have some spectacular and feverish dreams and I still have a good fever. I was struck – touched – by Red and Lenore. Red lay by the side my bed and wouldn’t leave me all night, Lenore followed me around and stayed by my side. I don’t recall being this sick, it is a startling experience for me, and I wondered if the love of animals can heal.

Red especially is different. He is glued to my side, jumping up on the bed, sitting by my feet. I see that he senses something is different and dogs do have the ability to sense the internal workings of humans I believe. I touched Red, and then Lenore and the two of them lay at the foot of my bed and I felt something coming from them, some energy. Am I hallucinating? Projecting?I felt something coming from both of them, Red especially. I seemed to draw some strength from it, some focus. We are cancelling tomorrow’s third wedding anniversary celebration, I’d never make it. Thanks for all of the good wishes and good thoughts, and yes, good advice. I’ll post a bit when the former girlfriend isn’t around, she is taking the most wonderful care of me.
