Reading of your ablation post op pain makes me wanna send out droves of St. Bernards or something like that to help with your pain needs.... Your labra doodle sounds just the ticket, just as our pup held post guarding me after each of my surgeries. He just had this inherent awareness his presence was needed. He ain't a cuddler, but he has a big heart.

TAKE CARE OF YOU, pain and ulcer and all!!!!
