Just what a hospital ICU needs. A bunch of filthy animals with their hair, feces, urine, barking. Sanitation? Hygiene?
It’s bad enough dog owners have ruined dining, travel, shopping. I was in a luxury shopping mall last week and some creep brought their dog, it lifted its leg and urinated all over a jewelry kiosk. Of course the owner pretended not to notice, no apology, nothing, just kept walking lab-di-dah as if nothing had happened.
Sure I want this in my hospital when I’m trying to recover from a life threatening illness in the ICU. Insanity.
I doubt that visits by therapy dogs are mandatory for people who hate dogs.
Then go to the OR and greet everyone in the total joint room.
Sounds like a plan.
After all, it's your FEELINGs that matter.
This is what happens when you let administrative positions increase by 1000 percent and let MBAs and liberals run medicine.
Interesting. That’s exactly how I see many people that I don’t want to get within a few feet of.
But the dogs! They are EXACTLY what I’d want if I was sick and worried and in desperate need of love and comfort. BRILLIANT idea in the hospital. I’ll bet they were scrubbed within an inch of their wonderful lives before they were brought in.
This is in Barcelona, Spain! 🤦♀️
Interesting remarks from you file of sick people.
I am 84, almost 85, and I have had a number of marvelous dogs, gigantic to teeny. Sometimes I have only one for a long period of time and other times I have up to 3. Never had 4 I have to admit.
Using all the information about how to treat dogs starting with very young dogs I have had some very interesting and loving experiences. The advice I have taken is excellent and better than what I had imagined.
I do love my dogs, plural or singular. Getting older I found rather long ago I needed a pooch I could actually physically handle was best. So the last 30 years of dog handling has been with 10 or less pounders.
I also looked at and watched the “parent” dog as she was raising her puppies to 6 weeks. Lack of aggression and capacity to enjoy and take pleasure in a relationship was imperative. No, absolutely, no aggression after the first attempt was acceptable.
I wish you the best and the “funnest’ moments of your life.
My little ones were very important to me as I got older and most regretfully they each lived only 13 years. But it was 39 happy dog years!
