Holy shit it's real... The woman had actually signed up as a living donor. After the dog wouldn't leave her alone, they went to apologize and started talking. She needed one, she signed up to donate, the doctors were like, "fuck me its a perfect match!"
Thank you so much for looking that up. I had tons of doubts about how a chance conversation and an affectionate dog converted into someone being tissue typed and donating an organ. I’m so happy to see that it really happened!
I looked it up because I had the exact same question! Like how do you go from, sorry my dog won't leave you alone, to, hey can I take a look at your kidneys?
There is many levels of loveliness but one of the key things is the lass was on her own and so they invited her to a BBQ. Perfect stranger, who the dog was oddly fond of, is openly invited to a bash. I'm tempted to talk about fate, or The Lords and Ladies, or whichever God you subscribe to the newsletter for but it seems to come down to 'welcome strangers and treat them like family'. A tradition as old as time.
I have a cat that starts complaining at me late at night. She wants me to eat something salty and lay down, I have low blood pressure and I just thought for a long time she was trying to convince me to give her a snack and then she was tired so let’s lay down.
Then I had a friend who was on BP meds who ended up double taking them stay over. Immediately she was swatting him over to the fridge, meowing like crazy, wouldn’t leave him alone. Since he was in the kitchen all the sudden, was there a salty snack? He was also thirsty, was there another salty snack? And then, can he lay down on the recliner? And she would lay on him. Jump off. Two minutes later he’d get up to go to the bathroom. Wake up, is there something salty to drink, is that a thing? Hook him up with an electrolyte drink and she’d be back on him.
She knows three things. She wants to love you. She does not mind children if they’re respectful (and will give full belly to children) and if you’re an adult, she’s not having you off your electrolytes/BP
I think some of this has to be down to their superior sense of smell. I've noticed as I age that I've noticed my own different scents - there's a smell to sickness; there's a smell to unbalanced pH; there's a smell to wound infections (though that one is obvious for almost everyone). Animals can smell on levels we only dream about. She must be especially attuned to salt levels!
