Angie & Jim

Another visit from PAWSby Jim

A little while ago we got another visit from PAWS.  It was a pleasant surprise, since they just came by yesterday.  Today we were visited by two dogs, Cici and Guinness.  When they first came in, the patient sharing a room with us got really excited and asked if they could visit her too.  They okayed it with her nurses and were able to spend some time with her as well.  That made Angie feel really good that she was able to brighten someone else’s day too.

Cici is a Schnoodle and is a snuggler.  She made herself comfortable next to Angie right away and seemed very happy.  Guinness was the entertainment.  I’ve uploaded a video so you can see his performance.  After the show, Guinness sat with the other patient and then they swapped places and Angie got to sit with him.  Once again, it really brightened Angie’s day to have some very sweet dogs to sit with and love.  They ladies that came with the dogs were very kind and asked about our cat and we showed pictures and told them about how sweet our cat is.  The healing influence of animals is amazing.

Each of the dogs has a little trading card picture that they leave with each patient.  It has a picture of the dog on the front and information about the dog on the back.  They are really adorable.
