Monday 9/28


Jillian is official! She got her paperwork/tag for TD Inc and today I brought her paperwork to MDIH and she had her "official" hospital badge done and started visiting patients. She had a lot of "you're so beautiful" " how gentle" "I love her eyes" She provided some physical therapy while we were there - one woman we were visiting was due for her P.T. and she told the tech she would go for a walk if Jillian came with her - so we did. Jillian walked right beside her the entire way - was a very slow process - she sat and waited... wasn't afraid of the walker... She saw her previous owner - was indifferent to him. Acted the same way as everyone else she met. She wasn't overjoyed to see him but, wasn't afraid of him either. She was pooped after 2+ hours of people petting her plus it was quite warm in the hospital.

Rissa visited patients and staff at the hospital today and then hung out while I did some paperwork... she is such an easy dog to take anywhere.

September 12th


Yesterday Rissa went visiting at her favorite retirement village. We delivered one of our special order totes after the visit and Rissa played a bit with Simon. This morning I took Jillian to Cortland manor for her second therapy dog evaluation - she passed no problem. I'm a bit tired since I worked in between those appointments and have had only 2 hours sleep and.... work has called for more help again! They are OK at the moment so I must get a nap in now!!
