Therapy Dog

Bajas got to try his paw as a therapy dog yesterday. My grandpa has pneumonia and I took the dogs along since I was gone most of the day. Bajas got to spend most of the time inside, since Gummi is a bit too much all over the place yet..

I was quite impressed with Bajas, he behaved perfectly. He’ll always follow me if I leave the room (I teach them this as puppies, so they don’t get into any mischief when I can’t see them), but we have a “stay” hand signal I used when I left the room, and he would stay. Good puggie!

Gummi did get to go running in the garden, and visit HIS grandpa a little later in the day. And we did some work on a new “spin” trick when we came home.

We are not good bloggers lately, please forgive us. I’m so very busy with an internship as part of my degree and when I have time over it’s mostly used to train and walk Gummi and a little couch time with Bajas. Now I have a week off (fall break), but then another 5 weeks of the madness, so it won’t pass for a while yet. Hopefully we’ll get some blogging and catching up done this week, though!

  1. Ougs really are the best therapy dogs. No matter how sad or down you are feeling a pug will cheer you up (even if you don't want them to)~Mandap.s. I hope your grandpa is feeling better soon 🙂

  2. Bajas is a natural therapy dog. I bet that visit really cheered Grandpa up and made his healing chemicals go into high gear.Slobbers,Mango

  3. Bajas looks like a fantastic therapy dog, I am sure it did Grandpa the world of good. Our black Pug Elvis is a Pets as Therapy dog here in the UK (the others are too crazy!) and he visits an old folks home twice a month and they love him. It is lovely to see what joy animals bring into the lives of others.Jo & The Pugs xx
