(thank you Miss Asta!!!)
I am absolutely floored at the amount of love that we have received during the scariest day of my life... sitting here in the ICU, seeing the love of my life so very sick, breaks my heart into tiny little pieces that turn around and stab me again and again. I stroke his hair, squeeze his hands, and even was able to give him a kiss on the lips today and then I collapse into my chair by his bedside. I cry a little and reach for my laptop, and every single time I log on my mailbox is flooded with well-wishes from animals around the world. It makes me chuckle a bit because while we have never met in person, through reading and writing our blogs I feel like I know every single one of you, that we are real friends, the kind that are there for you not just in good times, but in bad.
Words simply cannot express my gratitude for all of you at this very scary, very difficult time. Thank you for your wishes, and thank you for the beautiful, fun, and poignant distractions that reading you comments is to me. I want to be there every moment for my husband, and I want him to know how special he is. You all know him as Bogart's dad, to me he is just Klaus. He cannot respond to me directly, but I read him every single comment - and I just know deep down inside he hears and understands.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
Lulu

What a beautiful post. We can almost feel the love written into it.
You are in our thoughts and Asta's graphic on our blog. We are hopeful your husband will be all right.
Hi, Lulu!
My mom can't read blogs at her work place and she was thinking and praying for Bogart's dad all day.
I hope he will be ok and like new in no time.
I have faith!

Dear Bogart,
I know from reading your blog how nice your dad is - he doesn't even really get mad at you when you dig holes, and he's nice to goats. Zeke and I hope he feels better real soon. Your dad is in our prayers.
Your pal,
Joey
Lulu, Klaus and Bogie,
Know that we will be there with you in spirit every step of the way, every moment. You are not alone—our love is delivered 24/7.
Your friends,
Jane, Petey and Mica
Lulu, Bogart, and especially Klaus,
I am crossing my paws and my eyes and every single one of my furs in hopes that you all get to be at home together again, happy and healthy.
I also send my very special smoochies, which are very rare indeed and saved up for only the most special of occasions. I just wish there was more I could do for Bogart's daddy.
xoxo

Hi Bogart, I'm Nala and I heard about your Dad from Mango. I am thinking of you and hoping things get better. :) I looked at some of the other pictures on your blog and it looks like you have a wonderful life with your family. :)
Thinking of you!
Love,
Nala
Dear Lulu, Please know I and Sunny and Scooter are holding you and Klaus (& Bogie) in our hearts. I just came home to let pups out and in before going back to the hospital too. I know it is different-a husband and a mother-but loving someone so much and wanting so desperately to do something, ANYTHING to help..and not being able to is soooo hard.
Lulu, as an RN who has worked ICU myself, I can tell you of many,many patients who told us they heard every word we said. Then, some remember not the words, but the love and knowledge their loved one(s) were there. Hearing is said to be the last sense to go-so you KEEP TALKING to him Lulu. He knows you are there.
And Klaus! You listen to Lulu, you hear?? Please know you are in so many's hearts, minds, prayers. The support we have gotton whil my mom has been sick has been great. It helps me feel better. I understand the gratitude you feel. I feel it too.
Hang in, Klaus. Sunny and Scooter are howling at heaven and I am praying. I wish we could do more.
God Bless.
Jamie, Sunny and Scooter's mom

Sweet Ms Lulu!
You know I love you, girl! I've told Bogart over & over, and because I know that Klaus is good to you, I love him for loving you!
Sorry if that sounds convoluted, but love gets that way sometimes.
My sissy Stella, Merv my catbro, and my girl & I are there with you in our hearts. Please reach out anytime to us for anything!
Please give my Bogart bud a but squeeze from me and tell him I love him.
Goober love & smooches for you,
STanley
Hey, Lulu. This is Lisa, and I can't even imagine how you're feeling or doing, but for what it's worth, I've been thinking about you ever since I heard about Klaus. Please tell him that people in obscure little towns and big cities everywhere are pulling for him & your family! Give that Bogart Boy a big smooch on his juicy schnoz and a nice booty scratch from me. I'm sending an email with my cell # in case you need someone to talk to who is not enmeshed with you there in all that's going on!
Love,
Lisa (Stanley's girl)

Hello Lulu,
It was just a few days ago that we were looking at the pictures of you all eating hot dogs and drinking beer. Seems incredible how fast things can change.
It is quite wonderful how we all get connected with each other through such a simple thing like a blog (and an Airedale). I'm thinking of you and Klaus (and Bogart)constantly and hoping for the best.
lots of love,
Kay and Ruby
Dear LuLu and Bogart,
Asta and I are very sorry to hear Bogart's dad is seriously ill. We are praying for all of you.

LuLu, our prayers are with you and your family. ~Alasandra, the cats and a dog
Momma's eyes were leaking when she read your post. Whatever little we can do from across the country, we will.
Slobbers,
Mango
Bogart, Ms. Lulu and their wonderful dad:
we are friends of Asta, M&M and we heard about your dad. We would like you to know that we are here for you. You dropped by our blog from way before but I guess we have both been too busy to follow-up.
We are sad to be back under such circumstances. Reading from your early posts, we know that Klaus was a wonderful dad and husband. We can tell that you and Bogart love him so much.
We will be praying for his speedy recovery. I know that things are quite difficult. No words would, perhaps, describe how you feel right now. I guess, the most we can do is to offer you our prayers that he will be back and bouncing and rejoin you and Bogart very soon.
Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help.
take care always
drooly kisses,
Aki, Poopie and Micchi
Good Mornin':
Please know that our love and prayers are with you. Wish we could be there to hug you & let you know just how much we love you!!!
If you NEED ANYTHING - ANYTHING you just let us know!!!!!

Hi Lulu and Bogart,
Mommy had a very vivid dream last night that she saw Bogart curled up under Claus's hospital bed. She went over to Bogie and gave him a hug around the neck and a scratch on his wiry head and he licked her cheek.
I just know this means Bogart is there to comfort you, with big Aire love.
Your friend,
Petey
Lulu,
I don't know if you are a religious person, but I have found comfort in this verse:
I Peter 5:10
And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
Love,
Jane
We will continue to pray. Hope to get really good news soon.
Take care!

Hi, we are here through Khyra's blog. We've read about you're DAD and we hope he gets OK right now... Kisses.
Joey and Ruby and so many of our furry friends said the same things I was going to say. Just the other day you were eating hot dogs and playing zoomies and stuff. And like Joey said, your dad doesn't get mad when you dig holes and is nice to goats and horses and stuff. We have not stopped thinking about you and praying for Klaus and we won't until he is home where he belongs.
We love you Bogart, Lulu and Klaus

We've heard humans say that it can take an event like this to realize what you have... but after peeking through your older posts, Bogart, I think your love for your dad has always been in your mind and your thoughts. Dogs never take a moment for granted, you know? We hope your dad is home soon to snuggle with you.
We're purring our hardest!

Oh we two are crossing our paws and sending tons of wet kisses. Sally would like to froth up both of your Daddy's ears, sometimes to the point of a bacterial infection, ask me I KNOW. And I Rufus would like to wipe my goober eyes on your bed and maybe push it around the room. I hope you don't get dizzy.
Bogart and you Mommy Dog hugs and kisses in this stressful time.
