Something Stinks Around Here...
Yesterday was Bella-Blue's visit to Hulston Cancer Center, our local cancer center, for our Pet Therapy visit. Bella usually loves going to this monthly visit, in fact when we pull into the parking garage she goes crazy, barking and scratching at the car window. But yesterday was our "Halloween" visit and needless to say... Bella was not happy! And I just can't imagine why...
Well I thought she made the cutest little skunk EVER, and as you can see from the pictures above she still got lots of petting and love from everyone! We weren't alone, Jim & Anna bring Miss Molly to our visits (they've been a part of our team for over a year now, and Bella has been a therapy dog for 4 yrs). But, poor poor Molly HATED being a farmer! Molly wouldn't walk. It took all 3 of us "humans" to get Molly to take a step forward, but she came around when "cheese" was offered.
The best part of yesterday's visit was seeing one of the patients that is in remission, she was waiting for Bella in the Lobby! She walked up to us and said "do you remember me" and I stood there trying to remember how I knew her, she looked familiar but I just couldn't place her. Then she said "I was a patient here being treated for ovarian cancer and I'm now in remission. During my appointments here at the cancer center I always looked forward to Tuesday's when I got to see Bella, and even though I don't have an appointment today I came to see Bella one last time". With tears in my eyes I handed her my skunk (Bella), told her I'm so happy she is better and that I was so happy that Bella made her happy during her time at the cancer center. I just couldn't believe it, you'd think she'd never want to step foot in that place again, but she came for one last visit... to see Bella. Once again I was reminded how special these visits are to the patients, staff and to Bella & I.
