And my Scottie suddenly is HIS dog. Sleeps on his bed, spends all her time in his room. And, if someone new comes into his room, she gets up by my firend's upper body, between him and the new person until she checks out if the new comer is OK.

My Maggie has ALWAYS been MY baby...and now, she seems to be guarding my friend who is ill. And, she is amazingly calm and quiet while she sits by him on his bed.
