Jadey Oh I e Polo so much he is jjsy so damn cute and obviously knows exactly how to make a girl feel special. He's also the only SWF I've seen without hose horrid tearstains. Kudos to you. 12.20.09 - 11:19pm

Carol @ Carol Lundeen Photography, Boston How nice to have a companion who loves you and wants to please you - I've got one napping nearby, too. 12.20.09 - 4:57pm

jenC Awww! so Cute! I have a dog named Sasha! really looks like Polo :) 12.17.09 - 12:58pm

Ami @ Elizabeth Anne Designs aw, little polo knows when mommy needs him. he is so precious! 12.16.09 - 9:41pm

cassandra m Aren't our dogs the best at giving unconditional love and support. Polo rocks! 12.16.09 - 8:30pm

Megan I'm so glad to hear he helped you get better! I've been following your blog for about a year [but never commented yet] and always enjoy your posts about Polo. I'm a big-time dog lover and have 2 of my own [one of which is a Maltese and looks similar to yours, but Polo's much, MUCH, cleaner than my Rocky :)] Thanks for always being an inspiration, btw! 12.16.09 - 4:16pm

michelle awwww.... that is just so precious. i have a little nipper of my own, so i know just how you feel. my DOG seems to respond to my moods more than my husband, sometimes. ; ) 12.15.09 - 2:09pm

Betsy, La Vida Awwwww, Polo! Good boy! Nothing makes me smile like the unconditional love from our pup too. Dogs are truly man's (er, woman's!) best friend!!! Glad you're on the mend! 12.15.09 - 1:54pm

Kia Gregory Polo is cute. And you have awesome nurses to help get you back to life. 12.15.09 - 11:57am

syreena B It's amazing how you always find a way to blog something great out of seemingly nothing...well not really nothing, but you know what i mean.....ill learn this craft one of these days :) Feel better!!! 12.15.09 - 11:26am

oneshotbeyond Polo is lucky to have you both! His white fluffy fur just makes me melt! I'm surprised you ever leave cuddling with him for shoots and outings. ;-) 12.15.09 - 10:57am

inland Empire Wedding Photographer awwe polo knew you were sick and needed him 12.15.09 - 3:27am

fiona andersen awww I didn't have food poisoning but a very bad case of tummy flu brought home from day care!! And although I don't have a Polo to sit quietly and cuddle with, I have 3 wonderful girls who like to jump up and down on my bed whilst I groan in agony... gee thanks gals!!! Feel better soon.... was it the organic food????? xxxxx 12.15.09 - 3:20am

sherry boles A year and a half ago, I wouldn't have fully understood the meaning of this post (being a 'cat person'). However, I now own a sweetheart of a dog...and I'm just crazy over him! :) I'm still a cat person...but my dog is my real fur-baby! :) :) 12.15.09 - 2:02am

Doug LeMere Pets can sense how we feel better than our human loved ones do sometimes. 12.14.09 - 10:55pm

Ashley Awwww! Love it. Not the food poisoning part, but the part about Polo. On your belly (: Animals are seriously the best. 12.14.09 - 9:40pm

Daisy Moffatt I'm glad you're feeling better! Your story especially warms my heart b/c I too am stuck in bed with my laptop and my pup, Nala, while fighting a nasty cold tonight. She has refused to venture far and I love hearing about the loyalty and love of our pooches. Get well soon! 12.14.09 - 9:34pm

Linda Sherrill How sweet! Polo is adorable! My sisters Australian Shepherd never left her alone when she was going through Chemo (twice). I know they know when we really need our furry children! 12.14.09 - 8:35pm

Cindy Awww Your story totally melted my heart!! Talk about unconditional love! Aren't dogs the best?! 12.14.09 - 7:56pm

Lisa H. Chang Aw ~ so sweet! And I hear you about food poisoning - it's terrible. Hope you feel back to 100% soon! 12.14.09 - 7:21pm

Life with Kaishon What a sweetie : ) He is precious as can be! Hope you feel better soon! 12.14.09 - 7:17pm

Katie Whitcomb Good dog!!! Get some rest and feel better, Jasmine. 12.14.09 - 7:14pm

ashleigh this is so cute & sweet! my cats do the same thing when im sick-- they watch over me and make sure ia m ok! animals RULE! eeks sooo excited to meet you at the workshop in feb! 12.14.09 - 6:57pm

Peyton Cooke Being sick just plain SUCKS! I was sick end of last week, but fortunately today I feel a lot better. That said, I hope you feel better soon! :) I would like to direct a comment toward the image of Polo. It looks like he has 5 legs. No joke, 3 in front, 2 in back. You see it? Maybe it's his sweater, but hey. :) 12.14.09 - 6:24pm

Trude That's why pets are the best to have around when you're sick! Okay, maybe second best to whoever gets to bring you drinks and tucks you in, but still. Love my little personal space heater too. :) Hooray for Polo! 12.14.09 - 6:19pm

Robin Bummer about the food poisoning. I hope you're feeling back to normal soon! 12.14.09 - 5:24pm

Cecile AAWW.. (how many aaws have you gotten so far?) I love POLO and how he's helping you feel better. Thanks for sharing and making us feel all warm and fuzzy. 12.14.09 - 5:17pm

Misty Dawn Awwwww! I have 3 little dogs who are the same way and it's the best. :) I just had my wisdom teeth out and it got a little crowded in the recliner with all the love! Small dogs rock! xoxo to you and Polo 12.14.09 - 4:46pm

Nat Sorry to hear about the food poisoning! Best thing for that is Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of warm water, tastes nasty and will make you puke but it gets the poisoning out of your stomach and makes you feel a whole lot better sooner 12.14.09 - 4:46pm

Tamara Kenyon It's funny how dogs just "know". When I'm sad or not feeling well, they do a great job at making me feel better. 12.14.09 - 4:44pm

Evonne & Darren Photography It's amazing how animals (both dogs and cats) know when you are not feeling well. Food poisoning is the worst! Hope you are feeling better! Big hugs to you! 12.14.09 - 4:34pm

Jackie Lamas oh our doggies are the best aren't they? they always know when something is the matter. Polo is just the cutest! 12.14.09 - 4:09pm

Heather James That's what lap dogs are for! A little cuddle lovin' from my Rusty and some chicken soup and I'm back in no time! Feel better soon! 12.14.09 - 4:03pm

Cindy Polo is so awesome! I love stories like this one - the one that tells of how animals have souls and empathy like we do...and sometimes more! :) Glad to know that you're feeling better! 12.14.09 - 3:56pm

Feuza That is so amazing how he knew something was wrong with you, wow, so impressed, maybe I need a dog 12.14.09 - 3:43pm

Karen (Mikols) Bonar did the free range veggies get you with food poisoning??? OH NO! ;) Ok, seriously, I agree, I would never wish food poisoning on my worst enemy either .... it's the most awful thing on the planet. 12.14.09 - 3:35pm

Narrelle Awww - that put a huge big smile on my face. Perfect way to get the day started. Hope you're back to feeling normal soon. x 12.14.09 - 3:27pm

Tiffany I want a Polo!! Feel better...I hate getting food poisoning! 12.14.09 - 3:19pm

Amanda Key Glad you are feeling better. I love reading your blog. It always has a way of tickling my heart. 12.14.09 - 3:12pm

paola you manage to brighten our days and make us smile wholeheartedly even while having health issues! you're great! God bless you! 12.14.09 - 3:07pm

Regina White For reals he is the cutest dawg ever and just think he's all yours. That's awesome. Feel better soon. I know what you mean I have experienced food poisoning. Barbacoa. Never again. 12.14.09 - 2:24pm

ajira So sorry you've been unwell. Food poisoning sucks. Feel better soon. Yay for Polo and his wellness mojo!! 12.14.09 - 2:20pm

Diane - www.sagephoto.com The love from your pet is like nothing else! I'm so glad he was there to comfort and keep you warm...what a little cutie! 12.14.09 - 2:16pm

Alexandra Awww you have the sweetest dog in the world :) So cute :) 12.14.09 - 2:16pm

Bobbie Brown Oh no! You have been SICK it sounds like! I am so sorry, but glad you are on the road to feeling better! 12.14.09 - 2:00pm

andie I know all too well how special dogs can be in our lives. Especially right now. I hope you get to feeling better and that you will always have little Polo by your side. 12.14.09 - 2:00pm

Pol Aw, he is really a cute little one! Glad you are starting to feel better. 12.14.09 - 1:43pm

Stephanie Stewart So glad Polo stayed by your side, what a sweetheart! Plus, he probably knew that if JD was curled up on your belly, it may not work out so well! Hope you feel better soon! 12.14.09 - 1:41pm

Evie Perez Awe that stinks!! I hate the feeling of being sick. Don't forget to speak the WORD over you!!! 12.14.09 - 1:33pm

Kay* oh gosh that's so cute. my little howard is absolutely just like polo...always by my side. makes me totally get the saying "man's best friend." and his little sprints?! the best. totally hysterical. get well soon! 12.14.09 - 1:32pm

s h e r r y That is probably the cutest thing I've heard in a while! <3 I wuv you, Polo! Hope you get better Jasmine! 12.14.09 - 1:18pm

Andrea Worley Oh gosh, I had food poisoning once it was the worst! But I didn't have a cute pup like this at the time! Lucky! Hope you're feeling better! 12.14.09 - 1:15pm

Raquel Guerra See? you so son't need children...your kids would have been asking for food, playtime and more but Polo...well he understood that it was not about him at the moment but rather about his mommy! Hope you feel way better soon and give Polo props for being the best dog!!! 12.14.09 - 1:14pm

Moe I guess Organic didn't work out as well as you hoped?! I hope you continue to feel better and that little Polo is one slick little dude. Cute too. :) 12.14.09 - 1:05pm

DeAnna So sweet!! Sorry you aren't feeling well, glad you have Polo to take care of you, and keep you company. 12.14.09 - 1:03pm

Diandra That is pretty darn cute. Dogs have a 6th sense... they know when something is wrong. Interesting that he was laying on your stomach when that is what was hurting... 12.14.09 - 1:01pm

Rachel Perry So sorry you are feeling bad! Here's to quick recovery! I love animals and their nature. My old cat Oliver knew when I was sad and wouldn't leave me alone when I was little. Such a treasure! 12.14.09 - 12:49pm

Angel Canary Aawww, that's so sweet. That sucks Jasmine, I've been through that and it's horrible. Hope you feel better soon. =) 12.14.09 - 12:43pm

Carolyn Egerszegi j* I'm SOOOOO sorry you've had food poisoning. I had it almost 20 years ago and still remember how awful it was. Some advice from someone who has had long term gut-health problems that started with food poisoning... avoid dairy completely for the next while and start taking probiotics like crazy! Feel better soon... you're very lucky to have a dog like Polo. 12.14.09 - 12:31pm

Anouschka Puppylovin' there's nothing like it!! Hope you're feeling better soon Jasmine! 12.14.09 - 12:26pm

Angel Pope Nothing better than our furry little friends. I heard on the radio once a man say "put your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car and lock them in there for 4 hours. See whose happy to see you when you finally let them out!" HOW TRUE IS THAT??? Glad you're feeling a little better... 12.14.09 - 12:21pm

michelle sidles Dogs are the BEST. So why do I have three cats? ;) 12.14.09 - 12:09pm

Jessica Aw! My husband and I have a precious Maltese named Parker. He is my pride and joy and just the most wonderful companion. I can totally relate to your post! Polo is adorable! 12.14.09 - 12:09pm

Morgan Going to hug my dog right now b/c of this post :) Hope you are feeling better!!!! 12.14.09 - 11:57am

Theresa Santoro When I was pregnant with my 1st child 20 years ago, my Lhasa Josie...would stand guard at my belly, as I was so sick, I could not move... Maybe Polo is standing guard over a future sibling! Just sayin.... 12.14.09 - 11:53am

MM ugh! Feel better my friend! Food poisoning is the WORST! Remember when Justin got it when we were supposed to hang out with you & DJ in Santa Barbara? That was like the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan right there! :) Love you! Eat saltine crackers! 12.14.09 - 11:43am

Jill Fleming Doggies make the best sick companions! I wouldn't wish food poisoning on my worst enemy either - been there! Hope you feel better soon! 12.14.09 - 11:27am

evie winter I can relate, we had a cat who sadly died a month ago, which my brother and I got together. Berry however was completely devoted to my brother (probably because he gave him more biscuits and I just took him to the vet), I am glad Polo showed you love and care when you most needed it! 12.14.09 - 11:17am

Sharron Foster I totally know what you are feeling about your dog. Back in '02 I was in the process of having a miscarriage and didn't know it. During that whole week, our cocker spaniel never left my side.....and she is normally her own "person". She was attentive to me especially the night before I knew what was happening. Dogs are very perceptive. 12.14.09 - 11:17am

Leyla Awww... that is so cute!! I'm so sorry to hear about your food poisoning! It really is the worst feeling ever... But really glad to know that you had two loving and caring souls with you to make it all better. My late cat used to do the same. Whenever I'd be sick or sad, he would always stay with me... I miss him... =( Cherish Polo while he is in your life... He is so adorable! 12.14.09 - 11:09am

Rita Quinn First, I'm so sorry to hear you weren't feeling good. YUCK!! Second, you CRACK me up! I love my doggies too and could totally envision what you were talking about, down to the doggie sprints of joy! Glad you're feeling better... :) 12.14.09 - 11:07am

Megan Beth Oh no, hope you're feeling better! And has polo been working out?! He looks like he's lost a few pounds since his last photo shoot. 12.14.09 - 11:03am

jess@studio3z that is so incredibly precious, and that is my most favorite photo of Polo yet. ;) glad you're feeling better. 12.14.09 - 11:03am

Tammy Stark Tea and Toast! My grandma always made me Tea and Toast when I wasn't feeling well. Hope you feel better soon. Cute pooch! 12.14.09 - 11:02am

Drew What a good dog. Glad to hear you're better from you deadly illness. Maybe Polo didn't feel well knowing you were ill? 12.14.09 - 11:02am

Andrea Food poisoning sounds awful, but that is really sweet! What is Polo? I have a maltipoo & he looks like her. She is the same way with me, makes me feel special :] 12.14.09 - 11:00am

Christina Gressianu Gotta love doggie love! Mine always knows when I need her there for me too. Glad you're feeling better! 12.14.09 - 10:59am

Becka @Studio222 Photography I tell Nate all the time that I want a dog for that same reason, they just love so whole-heartedly. 12.14.09 - 10:58am

gladys jem oh this story makes me so happy. polo is the sweetest and cutest dog everrr. i hope you feel 100% percent soon jasmine! xoxo 12.14.09 - 10:45am

Dawn Beirnes Dogs are the best! I hope you feel better soon....glad Polo has taken such good care of you! (and props to JD. I'm sure he helped too!) 12.14.09 - 10:24am

Diana Lupu How cute! Dogs are the best...and your Polo is quite the dog. As for Palm Sunday in your home...hilarious! Oh, and feel better...food poisoning SUCKS big dog bones =( 12.14.09 - 10:20am

deB perry My doggies are just like this too!!!...they're like our very own personal Florence Nightingales. 12.14.09 - 10:12am

Sheila Hallmark fooey! Hope your feeling better real soon! (I hear you on the dog being your hubby's, our last dog of 18 years was HIS dog, unless of course my Hubby wasn't around!) 12.14.09 - 10:09am

Erin Elizabeth aww... dogs have a way of knowing when their people don't feel good. You obviously made the cut and are one of his people! Feel better! :) 12.14.09 - 10:08am

Laura I`m glad you`re feeling bewtter! Dogs are the best when you need comforting! 12.14.09 - 10:07am
