Fun visitors

Every day we have visitors come to the nursing home, and while we are thankful for each of them, there are some that are welcomed by more staff and residents than others.
Whenever kids or pets come, they are warmly welcomed and given lots of attention.
Last week the daughter of one of our residents brought in her puppies.

They arrived in their kennel and seemed to have no problem in crawling over each other.
There were 2 black puppies and one brown one.



This black one was very sweet and laid back, and looked much cuter in person than in this photo.





This brown one was a snuggler. Several staff members were wanting to kidnap her.
They are Sharpei/puggle mixes and are so cute! They were quickly surrounded by staff members and were held by many residents. I think it made their day!

  2. I want one. Only I would end up regretting it, because it would never grow up and leave home and give me cute grandbabies, so I will resist.

  5. I was visiting a nursing home once, and someone brought in two white dogs almost as tall as a pony. I was in the hall waiting to visit my SIL. I was not comfortable as they passed, but the patients loved the dogs. Now, if there are children around, especially babies, THEY would have had MY attention.

  6. Loved your story - same response must be universal - children and dogs help us to smile, come out of our shells, talk baby or puppy talk, and generally become much more alive - unless of course we happen to be afraid of dogs.

    We do have both groups visiting our seniors on a regular basis! It's the highlight of the day when that happens!

    I took my dog to a nursing home when visiting my father-in-law, and like you said, the residents could not get enough of her.
