Therapy Dogs

We were able to have therapy dogs come visit us while we were in the hospital. That brought joy to Lilly. It was something she looked forward to. We started collecting "trading cards" that some of the owners would give to us.
  

Diva was Lilly's favorite dog. She was so so sweet. Very mellow. And just wanted to be cuddled. Her favorite treat was carrots. :)  We learned that Diva has been in two movies. We want to find out which ones and watch them. 


We thought Otis was a huge dog until we met Happy. Happy is a 220 pound Newfoundland and isn't even 2 years old yet. He walks like a bear.


We also liked Panda a lot. He reminds us of the Shaggy Dog. Therapy Dogs have to go through training and an obedience class before they can come into the hospital. We are grateful for the volunteers that take time out of their day to bring a little bit of happiness to us. I'm sure we'll meet more dogs as we continue this journey with Lilly.
