White Dog hopped up on the bed and curled herself around me. Somehow she knew I was in pain. In fact, coughing and turning I felt a lower back muscle seize up and suddenly was in the throes of back muscles spasms. White Dog was quite concerned that Steve was hurting me when he attempted to massage the muscle; she kept trying to slap his hands off of my back and moved so that she was between us. Reassured that Steve was helping, she laid with her head in my lap until the spasm passed and I was able to lie down. All day White Dog has kept me under close observation...my attentive nurse!
