Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)

i have 3 catsand one is especially receptive to me when i am having a bad day she is next to me, she follows me all around the house even to the bathroom, she will lay right next to me and every once in a while she will come face to face and give me a kitty kiss, does anyone else have this happen with their pets

I have two rat terriers that know when I am feeling bad. On the really bad days they stay by my side. If I lay down,they are next to me. And they are very calm all day long, which is unusual for terriers.

Hi,
I also have three cats that I love so much. Since the RSD has taken over my lower extremities, I cannot get out very much. If if were not for the company and love I get from my cats, I would lose my mind.
There is nothing quite like the genuine love you get from an animal.

Oh yes, I have 2 "Peagles" named Molly & Willie and they have been with me step by step through the diagnosis, and the PT treatments. I bought them when they were just nearly 8 weeks old. Molly weighing in at just over 1 1/2 lbs. & Willie x 3.4 lbs. (he is Molly's half-brother) and I don't know what I would have done without them. They too are very receptive and follow around all the time. My husband says that Willie gets very concerned if he cannot find me! It's just the sweetest and greatest feeling. I love my pups! They were 1 yr on March 12th & 17th. I think they are the best therapy for everyone, just pick a small breed so you can handle them while they're small. I even have to smile as I write about them, I love them that much! Great post! It is a happy post, even about a bad day. They do everything they can to turn the bad day into a goood day!

Hi,
That is funny about the bathroom. I have a calico who is not much for sitting on my lap, except when I go to the bathroom. The minute I go in and sit down, she has to sit on my lap. It really is comical; she makes me smile.
I love my 3 cats SO MUCH.

My dogs like to follow me and my husband into the bathroom. They will sit and cry at the door if you lock them out. I think they think they are missing out on something. One of the dogs likes to sit on my husband's underwear when he sits on the toilet. It is sort like, "I have you trapped, now you have to pet me."
