It took my a while to get it, but when I did, I even felt more thankful for having Jessie in my life.
Jessie is the only dog that sleeps with me, with us during the night. Because she had such an traumatic experience being in a crate during her 24 hour flight from Serbia to the USA, we decided against crate training.
I also kept her close during the day and so I guess she and I are pretty in 'sinc' with each other.
Then she started to sometimes wake me up in the middle if the night, by licking my face. First I was annoyed, but then it dawned on me: Jessie only did this when I had a bad dream. So every time I have a bad dream, like last night, she comes up to me next to the bed and licks my face. Once I wake up from the bad dream, she gets back to were she was sleeping as if nothing happend. But it did!
When we got our firs WSS, Mojo, I knew that this breed can be sensitive, and can therefore be put at work as a (ptsd) service dog very easily. And they are, but experiencing it with the Jessie, without me telling or training her, I find so awesome. I love this breed, but most of all I love my dogs, I love Jessie🩷
