Many of you may remember Denise's beloved Ruffy, her Old English Sheepdog and soulmate. He past a few years ago but Denise knows he is guiding and looking over her. Here's an encounter of why she believes this to be so:
On Friday, 12/3/2010, while in pre-op prepping for surgery, a nurse came to start Denise's IV. We both saw his name tag (we like to acknowledge those who help us on this journey) and then looked at each other with astonishment. His name was Ruffy! She started crying with appreciation to know that her soulmate energetically was with her.
Ruffy is a nickname for Rafael. Coincidence may or maybe not--what's your belief? Share your stories on the blog--she would love to hear them
While hospitalized, Denise connected with so many like minded animal lovers and especially dog lovers. Here's a little recount about the photo of her and Oliver on this blog.
One such person is Liza, her day nurse. She noticed Oliver's photos that I posted in her room. She shared her love of her large, loving Bouvea (sp). Denise told her that she missed Oliver and would like to see him. Liza fully supported this and made it happen. Dana and Dad brought Oliver to the hospital grounds and Liza got Denise in a wheel chair and took her outside to see him. She was crying at the joy of touching and holding him. She turned around to thank Liza and saw that Liza and the rest of the family all had joyful teary eyes as they watched this wonderful exchange of a dog and master's love!

Love it!
Believe it! Nothing better than being in an environment full of those you love and who love you...so powerful. I hope you begin to feel better soon and have sweet dreams as you sleep.
Hi Denise.
Glad you are home...... sweet home. Get that sleep caught up. Love You.....Your Aunt Dolly and family sends their love and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thrilled you are where you have more control and can hug on your dog. Bet he is watching your every move. I am guessing you are at your mom's. Pupper is at my feet as I write. Usually ends up sleeping on my shoulder before morning. I am sure they know when you aren't well and give you all the extra love and energy they can. Pupper sure seems to know when and where I am hurting and licks and licks my aching joints. Today was Aubrey's 9th birthday so it has been a busy and fun day. Love you
Denise,
Hearing of Oliver's visit to you in the hospital reminded me of Buddy's visit, Tom's German SH Pointer, while Tom was in ICU at (then) St. Dominic's. We were able to sneak Buddy into Tom's room after the nurses made sure to close the curtains to the other rooms. We had to sneak him in so quickly and quietly, I had to stop myself from cracking up...but I would've done it a million times a day to see that reunion. Buddy's four paws and nails had a distinct clicking to them-- we should have put socks on him to muffle the noise!
Now that you're home,I hope that you're resting comfortably surrounded by your family and all of the love and good wishes sent to you. HUGS.
