During my pregnancy with Nolan, my husband bought me a maternity Boppy pillow which I snuggled with religiously. After Nolan was born, I continued to snuggle with it for a week. While I no longer used it to cradle my swollen belly, I used it for comfort and support to my aching body. Once I felt stronger, I tossed it to the side of the bed. Tonight, my dog Buster has put it to a new use as he decided it had been discarded long enough that he could now lay claim to it himself. As Marshall and I prepared for bed, I found Buster curled up on the floor by my side of the bed with his head propped up on the Boppy pillow. Perhaps it is now bringing him comfort as I know both of our dogs have sensed the sadness that has come over both Marshall and me.
