Pouncer got a job!!!!

Oh Pouncer, how sweet of you to go and cheer up some people in the nursing home. That's a great job indeed! I bet you'll get lots of cuddles and give some back. They'll be "fighting" to get your attention you gorgeous boy.

That is awesome!!! All three of our dogs are therapy dogs and they really enjoy it! I hope Pouncer does too. I'm sure he will bring much happiness to many people.

It is so much easier to find dogs to do visits then cats, but there are some people who respond better to the cats and would prefer to have visitis from them.

Where have I been and how did I miss this!!!???

Pouncer I am soooooooooo excited for you!!! What a wonderful job you will be doing!! I hope that if someday I wind up in a home I would be so lucky as to have such a wonderful and adorable baby like you come visit me!!

I can't wait for the adventure stories!

Oh, Pouncer, that is such a worthwhile job! I am excited and honoured to be able to say I "know" you! I very much hope you enjoy your new role!

I think the pets as therapy scheme is a great idea. I would love for one of my cats to be able to take part. Unfortunately, none of them are blessed with that kind of nature. As soon as they saw someone they didn't know, they would freak and run up the curtains. That might in itself be amusing for the residents, but a bit stressful for me and the cats, I think!

Has Pouncer done any more therapy work?
Hopefully in the afternoons?

[QueenScoopalot]

Wow, I missed this too! How is the new job sweet Pouncer? I suspect maybe you're on the job 24/7 as no one wants you to leave.

Sigh. I've been lazy. We went to a few nighttime ones, but it was TERRIBLE - everyone was tucked in for the night. I've been really lazy about calling them to ask for afternoon visits. I PROMISE to call Monday!

I love going with him and I am so proud of him when we are there... but picky me, I want to be there only when people are awake to hold him!

Thanks for asking!

Well, DUH!!! That's the point of the visit right? Don't be so hard on yourself ..... it's hard to stay committed to things ... especially with teens in the house! You'll get back over there!!!
