I have a PTSD service dog & one of her tasks is to sit on my lap when I get too nervous or anxious she takes it so seriously and will come sprinting if she senses that I am getting too nervous I love her sheβs perfect
This weekend I was hiking with her a lot and took her to multiple parks the air quality wasnβt super bad but Iβm very sensitive to it and I didnβt realize it was over my threshold until midday Monday so I felt suuuuper sick and worn out and got really nauseous
I ended up violently LOUDLY throwing up for like 15 minutes by the end of the day Monday and I had the bathroom door closed but you could hear me gagging and spitting all throughout the apartment
I went out to the kitchen when I was done to rinse my mouth out and Medea was sitting on the corner of the couch looking absolutely HORRIFIED like ears pinned back and just a shocked expression on her face- this is the moment i realized she had never heard anyone throw up before
I rinsed my mouth really quick and went over to show her I was okay and she was so nervous she jumped in my lap and wouldnβt move
I was patting her and reassuring her I was okay but she was planted she was very clearly like βno I know that was not okay Iβve never heard that before youβve gotta be nervous or dying or somethingβ and she wouldnβt leave my lap for like 20 mins it was so sweet she kept turning around to check on me and sniff my face and make sure I was actually okay
