Look at this!\u201d I motioned to the computer screen. Sweet puppy faces with big brown eyes stared back from dozens of photos. They were the cutest things I\u2019d ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>My husband groaned. \u201cBeth, I really want a <i>small<\/i> dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are smaller,\u201d I said. \u201cThese aren\u2019t full-size goldendoodles. They\u2019re <i>petite<\/i> goldendoodles. See?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabby, our beloved toy poodle, had passed away last year. He\u2019d lived a long life for such a little dog\u201417 years. I\u2019d always been a dog person, and the house didn\u2019t feel right without one. Ross agreed. Where we disagreed was the type of dog.<\/p>\n<p>Ross wanted a low-maintenance lap dog, and he did have a point. He and I both had full-time jobs\u2014I was a wildlife photographer who owned a gallery, and Ross worked at a nonprofit. Plus, we were getting on in years, and Ross wasn\u2019t in the greatest health. A few years back, he\u2019d suffered <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/pets\/service-animals\/a-golden-retriever-helped-her-handle-her-panic-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a massive heart attack<\/a> and undergone a quadruple bypass surgery. It had been terrifyingly touch and go for a while, but slowly, with a lot of physical therapy, he\u2019d recovered. Still, he didn\u2019t want to take on the kind of long walks a large dog would require.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019d recently met our neighbor\u2019s new goldendoodle\u2014a crossbreed between a golden retriever and a poodle\u2014and been smitten. I\u2019d had both breeds and loved them equally. So when I found out about \u201cpetite\u201d goldendoodles, which max out at 25 pounds, it felt like a home run. It wasn\u2019t exactly the lap dog Ross wanted, but it seemed like a manageable compromise.<\/p>\n<p>I found a breeder nearby and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/family-caregiving\/aging-parents\/5-things-to-know-before-a-doctors-appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scheduled an appointment<\/a>. Ross was won over (I knew it!), and a few months later, we took home our precious goldendoodle puppy. We named her Sunny.<\/p>\n<p>The plan was to bring Sunny to work with me at the gallery. I\u2019d set up a doggie playpen for her there, out of the way of customers.<\/p>\n<p>Sunny quickly figured out how to climb out of the mesh playpen. She\u2019d tear around the gallery, full of puppy energy. Adorable? Yes. Disruptive? Totally. Not everyone wanted to deal with a rambunctious puppy while browsing photo prints.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA dog like that needs to be walked multiple times a day,\u201d one of my regular customers remarked.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t have the time for that. Ross\u2019s work hours were more flexible, so he agreed to take Sunny to the office with him. He walked her for 15 minutes twice a day. It was a big change for him. A former stockbroker, he\u2019d never kicked his bad habit of staying at his desk until the end of the workday. Ross never exercised. He used to joke that his only workout was \u201cjumping to conclusions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t had this much <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/7-easy-tips-to-help-you-stay-active\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physical activity<\/a> since my post surgery rehab,\u201d he admitted after the first week. But the walks were undeniably helping. Sunny began to mellow out. She loved going around the park with Ross. And although Ross might not have wanted to admit it, I could tell that deep down he was enjoying himself. Even on the weekends when we were both home, Ross took the lead on taking Sunny for her twice-daily walks.<\/p>\n<p>About a year after we got Sunny, it was time for Ross\u2019s follow-up angiogram at his cardiologist\u2019s. The procedure uses a special dye visible by X-ray to see if certain arteries are clear of narrowing or blockage.<\/p>\n<p>Ross was fully conscious for the procedure, and I was allowed to sit in. We watched as the doctor injected the dye through a catheter inserted into an artery.<\/p>\n<p>He studied the screen carefully, monitoring the dye\u2019s progress. \u201cWell, since I\u2019ve last seen you, the one artery you didn\u2019t have replaced has become totally blocked,\u201d he said. But he was smiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen why are you smiling?!\u201d Ross asked.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor explained that when an artery is blocked, small vessels called collaterals sometimes grow around it, accommodating blood flow. It\u2019s a phenomenon called autogenesis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s rare\u2014that\u2019s why I\u2019m smiling. It doesn\u2019t happen for everyone, but it has for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes it happen?\u201d Ross asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of factors. But it\u2019s more likely to occur in patients who partake in <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/exercise\/5-easy-ways-to-exercise-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">regular, light exercise<\/a>. Like a 15-minute walk every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ross and I looked at each other. <i>Sunny.<\/i> If it hadn\u2019t been for her, Ross wouldn\u2019t have been walking regularly. She saved Ross\u2019s life!<\/p>\n<p>Sunny is now five years old. Fully grown, she weighs about 20 pounds. A bigger dog than Ross once wanted but, for us, the perfect size.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRoss, come here!
