09/07 Jackson - AMPS 374

[Dyana]

Yesterday
My work desk looks a litte bit like a vets office as I keep a lot of his supplies on it I measure his doses there because of the better lighting. When he sees me get out and put the insulin pen on the desk, he jumps up and sits on the desk beside me while I measure the dose and give him the shot. While I'm giving him his shot (his eyes are at the same level as mine) I see him looking at me with sad / confused / mad eyes, like he knows he has to get it but doesn't know why and it hurts. This morning after I gave him his shot he said meow and then struck out with his paw at my arm real quick and nailed my shirt sleeve and tried to pull it towards him.
After his shot he always jumps down from the desk. He doesn't sit there while I measure out his Cabergoline.
He's weird.

Aww poor boy. I think he knows that you’re doing this to help him, even if he doesn’t like it or understand it. I like to think that he just wanted to make sure you knew his great big sacrifice for you (so maybe you could come to the conclusion that such bravery deserves a bagel or two?)

I see... He seems so smart!

They are so intuitive and sensitive in a way that we could not even imagine sometimes.
Give him lots of kind words, cuddles, and love right after or even a bit before.
I bet he’s smart enough to understand it all...

I think they know we're helping them even if they don't understand it all. I hope Jackson slides down soon.
