This morning I awoke with an odd sensation; my pup sleeping soundly, his little head resting on my throat. In the 16+ years we’ve had Victor, a chihuahua-mix, he’s never done that. After a few minutes, I was fully awake. He must’ve sensed that because he kind of growled in an annoyed sort of way, repositioned himself, and went back to sleep.
Last night’s sleep was sound and uninterrupted, unlike what it’s been the last few nights, and I was so grateful. I don’t know if my pup’s nestling had anything to do with it, but it wouldn’t surprise me. There’s a mound of evidence to suggest that pets are able to positively affect their owner’s psychological and physiological health. I know ours have, majorly. I am grateful.🙏🏽
But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune. ~1 Kings 5:4
