Today was my first opportunity to take Rags on a Therapy visit and it was a HUGE success. Rags is the most gentle, lovable, friendly dog you would ever want to meet. I took Rags to Greystone today where he was the hit of the day. He sat with each patient as long as they wanted. He laid down and let everyone scratch his belly and gave everyone who wanted, a big wet kiss. Everyone got a chance to walk him around the room which is a huge accomplishment for some patients. He willingly let everyone pet him, hug him and make him do tricks.. It is an amazing experience to watch how people change when they are quietly petting a dog. Someone commented on what a blessing it was to have Rags come today, because it had been a really rough week. So Thank You Rags, for letting me borrow you. If I couldn't have Riley with me, you are surely the next best thing!. Thank you so much to Carolyn C. , Rag's Mom ,who entrusted Rags to me, to go on our visit. I am quite sure I got got as much out of our visit today as did any one of the patients.
Riley is doing well today. Only another 8 days until he gets the pin out. I know he will be so happy when he can start to go on some walks. Hopefully we can start some activity after the pin is removed. See Ya tomorrow>
