Do you have emotional support animals?

Living with NMOSD can be really stressful. Do you have any animal companions that support you emotionally?

What are they and what are their names? (Share a picture!)

  1. He’s with me all the time I know he’s not going to abandon me ( only the natural ways) other than that he’s who comforts me, I can tell him anything and he just so lovable. After I was diagnosed 6 years ago and my husband left me 2 months later and my life was turned upside down, I had 2 pugs but my other one passed shortly afterwards and my 3 adult kids had been off and on the fence with me (I don’t know y) 2 stopped talking to me when I needed them the most. Thank god for my parents and my dog… He’s 11.5 now and his health is slowly deteriorating I pray everyday that he’s here just one more day. I do everything I can to make sure he stays as healthy as possible. Money is not as abundant as it used to be when I worked full time and having 2 incomes, I get by with the help of my parents because I’m not released to work I’ve applied for SS 2x and finally got my day in court now just waiting upon the decision. Court went well so my finger are crossed. I thank you for taking the time to read my post. Happy Holidays to you!! My pug his name is Dudley but we call him Doug

    1. He is adorable 🙂

      1. It´s sad when people betray you, but we are strong and resilient. Hung in there.

        1. I have 3 dogs Parker,Ruby,and Chopper
          They are all great mates and I wouldn't be without them they lend a ear when I need one and never answer back except maybe for a dog biscuit each
          Man's best friend not a truer word said
          Stay strong your little doggie will never let you down.
