Oops, I Did it Again...
Slipped into the ICU...
And licked daddy's hand...
Oh baby, baby...
Ah yes, your eyes do not deceive you. Bogart made a return engagement to the ICU this evening for some much-needed thairepy. And this time he was even more affectionate toward Klaus than the last.
Marge, one of the sweet nurses that has been taking care of Klaus, brought me a bagel on the first day that I was here with him. It was a lovely gesture, but I haven't been able to eat much and so it sat untouched. Until tonight. I broke off small pieces of the bagel and put them between Klaus' fingers. Bogart is a bagel man, and enjoys a piece or two now and then. So he could not help himself - he had to dig between Klaus' fingers to get at those pieces of bagel with that gigantic tongue of his. Klaus' reaction could not be clearer if he sat up and started singing. His blood pressure told the story. There indeed is nothing in the world like the feeling of stroking our pets. So thank you Marge for the bagel! I didn't exactly eat it, but it did very good things.
And then we had a surprise visit from Josh & Susan - who brought me food (which looks fantastic by the way Susan, I promise that I will get to eating this right after I'm done blogging). Josh and Klaus are beer brewing buddies, and Josh has let the whole Brew Crew know about Klaus so they can raise a glass.
I know that Klaus is feeling the love from all over the world that is flowing his way. I desperately wish I could say that he is suddenly up and running around again, having a beer, and complaining about something. But we're not there... yet.
Love,
Lulu

Bogart!
I'm glad you could sneak in again to see your human Dad, I'm sure he really loves having you there beside him, licking his fingers... You are the best kind of therapy ever, my friend!
Lulu, we are still praying every day for Klaus' recovery... May God comfort you at this hard time!

Oh Bogie, you are the best-ever The-aire-apy dog — for both your Daddy and your Mommy. (Now, you make sure she eats something, okay? She needs to take care of herself so she can take care of you and Dad!).
You have been blessed with some wonderful nurses with a keen understanding of patient care. (When Mommy was recently in the hospital, she got a whole new appreciation for nurses.)
Thrilled to hear that Klaus reacted so well to Bogart's presence. One step at a time...
Lots of terrier love,
Petey (and his Mom)
Hi, Bogart!
Sure it was great that you went to see your Dad again!
I've told you. He knows you are there.
Lulu, we understand that you are not in the mood to eat much, but you need it!
Please take care of yourself too!
Paws crossed.
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Just checking in to see how Klaus is doing. So delighted to see Bogie back by his Dad working his magic. Lulu, please EAT. I was recently ill and lost 10 lbs - please please remember to eat, it's important that you keep your strength up and stay healthy. Please look after YOURSELF, Klaus will need you like never before when he starts getting better...if you can't eat, buy some Ensure - the chocolate is yummy and its a whole meal in a drink that will keep you strong!
Just call me Mother. LOL
Big pats and kisses to Bogie. Hugs to you and gentle finger strokes to Klaus.
The praying continues!!
Daniella and Axel

Bogart,
I glad to hear of a hospital that would let you in! I wish there were more hospitals like the one your Dad's in. There is nothing like our love to shift things towards the better!! Your Dad knew that you are there, either it was your hot breath or your loving licks, he knew! Keep up the good work!
We will keep up our end TOO!
With pways and good Zen coming your way,
Luna- the scruffy yacth dog
How happy it makes us to see Bogie getting to sneak in to see his Daddy.(Uh, do remind him to wear his undies-we don't want the puparazzi getting those embarrassin "kittycat" shots,like they did of britneee! ) Yep-you have some wise nurses! They truly know ALL aspects of caring for their patients!!! (Please tell them from one ICU RN to another, "I'm proud of y'all~!!)
One step at a time, one day at a time, Lulu. And you really should listen to the advice about eating. I didn't and have lost over 10 lbs....shhh don't tell on me. But the chocolate ensure does taste ok. I finally got to where I just have to MAKE myself eat. Remember, you can't take care of your Klaus if you don't stay in shape!!
Hang in there you crazy kids! (I believe you are the first couple I have known who were married by Elvis! Pretty dang cool, if you ask me.)
Please do not forget that y'all remain in our hearts, and Sunny&Scooter are howling to heaven for their gramma AND Klaus! I will keep on praying,
Hugs
Jamie& Sundog & Scootoober (his Gooberstan name! :)
Love is a good therapy. Even the best if you ask me. But please Lulu take care of you.
We love you so much,
Kisses, Faya & Dyos & Véronique
Oh Bogart we are so happy that you got to see your daddy again and helped to lower his blood pressure. You are a wonderful helper for your dad. So good that his friends got to come to show love to you all too. We send our best wishes and the parents are keeping you all in prayer too. Love & airehugs,BabyRocketDog & Hootie
Hello, Bogart! We're sorry to be visiting your blog under these circumstances, but we wanted to stop by and wish you and your family well, your dad especially, of course. We'll be thinking of you all and contributing to all the healing vibes heading your dad's way.
Hope your dad gets better soon!
JNTR
Bogart, I just know your Papa feels your love and it's helping him to get strong ... just like the kiss your Mama talked about. You and your Mama being at his side is all he needs because you're bringing him love and hope. We're still praying and won't stop until he walks out of that hospital! Stay strong and positive, Bogie and Lulu. We're all in this with you.

Dear Lulu
even though I don't 'know' you, and also we have been absent from the blogs for a long while, returning only recently,however, Bogart was one of our first blogging pals way back on our first (well actually second) blog.
Also just before we left the blogging world Bogart sent Marvin a lovely treat in the post. Then I deleted sadly and we lost contact with every dog etc.
But the first thing I thought of this morning when I woke up was you and Klaus, and I could not wait to turn the computer on to see how things were going for Klaus and for you and Bogart.
My thoughts and wishes are with you, our paws are crossed neatly here just waiting for some good news.
The photos are lovely of Bogart and you, just want Klaus to be up and smiling into the camera with you as well.
take care of yourself, although it is difficult to want to eat, you must!
lots of Scottish Love, Jeannie and Marvin xxxxxxxxxxxx
Bogart!
If you start hanging out with KFed, I'm seriously going to PUKE (then eat it up), man! I can deal with you embodying the song, though. It does this goober heart good to see you there by your dad's bed with your sweet mama. The fact that there are some nice shots of your juicy schnoz is just a nice bonus for my girl (she's totally in love with you, man ~ especially your schnoz)!
I'm not surprised your dad knew you were there and totally responded. WoOOoHooOO! Get ready for your career as a thaire-apy dog once you get your dad well.
Now, please tell your sweet mama that noone wants to have to open up a can of whoopass on her (Opy is the champ at this), but we may just have to do that if that's what it will take to get her to eat something. We love her and want her to stay well, man. That's all.
Hey, any chance you could move into your dad's room for a few days? Maybe your nurses could make a place for your bed & bowls. Just think about it.
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley, (for Stella, Merv & Lisa)
The nurses at the hospital ROCK! I'm sure it did Klaus the power of good to get another sneak visit from Bogart. Thinking of you all...J x
Hi Lulu
We have found our way here from our dog blogging buddies. We are so very sorry to hear that Klaus is so poorly.
Sadly our mum has experience of one of our human brother's being very ill in intensive care a few years ago.
We were not here then but have heard how our loving predecessor Harry helped the entire family through at the time. It is amazing how much very ill people actually are aware of what is going on. The power of touch is immense.
Go for walks with Bogart as you do need time away to do the ordinary things.
Stay strong knowing you are very much in everyone's thoughts and prayers. Keep talking and touching and we pray that Klaus will tell you all about it soon.
Our very best wishes to you all
love
Martha, Bailey and their Mum xxx
Its good to see your are still smiling Bogart :)
All my paws are still crossed for your Dad.
Big licks to you

We're so glad you got to visit your dad again, Bogie! Those nurses are very smart to want you there encouraging your dad to get better soon!
Mom says that she's sharing her bagel with us this morning and that we're saying an extra special prayer for your dad!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Bogart, we are delighted you got to visit your Dad again. You are doing a great job keep up the excellent work.
Lulu, thank you for letting us all know how Klaus is very day. We are continuing to pray hard.

Molly, Taffy and Hilary
Bogart! You have the power, dude! Now get your mama to eat her kibbles!
Slobbers,
Mango
P.S. We enjoyed those silly Elvis pictures. I bet that Lacie would love a showgirl outfit like your mama.
Bogart you are the best medicine. I am going to call u Bogart MD. I am glad to see you can sneak into the ICU and help your dad. Keep up the good healing work.

We say good for you Bogart. Good for your momma, Lulu. Good for Josh and Susan and the Brew Crew. Especially good for all the staff at the hospital that are in tune to some of the best mental health therapy a person can get-their beloved pet. The vibes are coming your way.
Bogart we are so happy you got to go visit your Daddy again. Healing purrs and puppy licks. ~S,S,C & F
Bogie, keep taking good care of your mama (tell her to mangia, mangia!)and your papa. When I grow up, I want to have a beautiful heart and beautiful nose like yours!
We is so glad that Bogart got to see his daddy again! That is pawsome! And we all know that Klaus felt the love from Bogie! There is nothing like a furrys love! I will keeps my paws crossed for Klaus until he gets all better! My mom doesn't have paws, so she prays. And for Bogart's mom, take care of yourself.
Mya Boo Boo
Oh Bogie! We are all so happy you got to go back to see your Dad and that he got to give you some bagel........this will be what helps him the most out of everything!!!(and your shnozz looks lovely there) Now PL2 wants you tell the ICU nurses(from one ICU nurse to another) that they are the best and she loves them for taking such good care of a special person....and then she says that she knows it is hard to even think of eating anything but tell you Mom do give it a small try...that is the last thing you need for her to not feel well!! We continue to send huge zen and crossed paws and legs and think of you 3 all the time..Love A+A+PL2(Diana)

Klaus -
You have the most amazingly wonderful family - to watch & see all this LOVE for you is so breathtaking.
Please know that we also love you and have asked everyone and anyone we know & meet to hold you and your family so very tight in prayers.
Just knowing you and your family and all the families with Dogs With Blogs has made the world just a little smaller & so much more precious to be in.
Bogart's pictures with you in the hospital - just can't seem to string the thoughts together so it sounds right.
Please tell Lulu she must take care of herself - she can't be ignoring her eating & rest - she must be strong for when you come home...
Can you see how crowded that hospital would be in we all could get to visit you?
Take care rest and get stronger we need you!!!
XXooXXooooXXooo
Hi Bogart. How great that you got to see your dad! And how lucky for us that we got to see that big 'ol Bogart close-up that we've grown so fond of. We're praying for your dad and for you and your beautiful mom, too.
Take care,
Joey and family
Bogart, you are the man my friend. I know that if there is anything that can make your Dad feel better, it is your big old dale tongue!
Yep, there is nothing like the touch of an animal to comfort. We're glad Bogart had such a good return visit to the ICU.
Even though you don't feel like eating, you need to eat to keep up your own strength. Klaus needs you now and he will need you to be strong to help him later.
Buddy: Don't tell Jan I asked this, but if you're really not going to eat your food, could I have it? I'm always hungry!
Sending love and positive thoughts to you all,
Kit

Bogart,
That is so nice that you get to visit your Dad. Keep up the good work and your dad will be home very soon.

Woos and love, the OP pack
Fantastic to hear about nurses allowing Bogart in - please, Lulu, make sure you keep praising them for that. It's the only way to make doctors and nurses see "the light". Best wishes and prayers from Denmark.
That is realy the best therapy. I am so glad you got to go in to see your dad. You have touched everyone's hearts. I send prayers and huge warm purrs for your dad and mum
