OKAY.... you may not know this about ME... Frankie Furter... butt I am actually fully Educated and Certificated as a CERTIFIED THERAPY DOG.... that means that I can do Nursing Home, Hospital, School, Library, etc. visits.... BUTT I have not done any Hospitals EVER... and have only done a Nursing home a couple of times since moving to Pencil Vane E Ah.
Anyway... to be a CTD... I had to learn how to be around peeps who need Walkers, Canes, Wheel Chairs... and such... and to be able to sit in their laps or bedside... And to NEVER EVER.. Lick(KISS) with my tongue... butt some folks WANT kisses so I learned to just TOUCH my mouth to THEIR Mouth... THAT was a hard one...
OH and I had to learn how NOT to EVER take foodables from strangers.. or to EVER eat anythingy that I might "FIND" no matter how good it looked... that is so I would never eat a dropped PILL or some other type of Medicine... or touch any medical equipment.
and.... IF ... I EVER PICK UP SOMETHING... I leaned to DROP it... and then LEAVE IT...
If mom says LEAVE IT.... I am NEVER EVER allowed to touch it again... even if she hands it to me... I have to LEAVE IT... THAT is some tough stuffs do do... trust me.
SO way back like 87 years ago... to get all of my PRACTICE... I used to go to SCHOOL with MOM... where She was the Head Librarian in the two elementary schools. SHE saw 900 kidlets every week... in and out and in and out... they came... they learned... they checked IN their books..and checked out new ones... Butt I digress.
I went to school with her... fur WEEKS... furst I had to learn to be SEPARATED from mom without going SQUIRRELLY... I did that by going to OTHER classrooms... the ones fur kidlets with Special Needs... two of them in Each Building... I stayed 1/2 of the day in each room...
THAT is also where I learned how to deal with all the walking aids that the kidlets (or any other peeps I would ever encounter) might need.. Some of them were a little scary at furst... butt EVERYBUDDY was so good about helping me... esp. the kidlets. I just LOVED THEM.
OH and I also gotted special pawmission from the Superintendent to go to the CAFETERIAS... to learn about not eating thingys I shouldn't...
Now you may be wondering WHY I am telling you all this stuffs... Well, the other evening we went to the city of FRANKlin, Pencil Vane E Ah... where they were having a PET PAWRADE thingy... Like 87 Dawgs there and a ferret and two hammies... and some GAMES and stuffs fur both DAWGS and KIDLETS too... and Ernie and I were playing some of the DAWG games... when I saw a little girrrrrl... in a Wheel Chair... and ... well, my training just KICKED INTO HIGH GEAR...
I told mom to go talk to the Parents... and they said YES... so.... SOOOOOoooooooooo
Ernie went with DAD and I went into WORK MODE...
The Furst thingy I did was to SIT in her LAP.... so we could get to know each other... and the girrrrrl was sooooooo happy... FUR PRIVACY WE WILL NOT BE SHOWING PICTURES OF HER FRONT FACING... AND WILL NOT EVEN USE HER NAME... SO.. the girl petted me and we talked and then she KISSED ME ON THE HEAD... and it made us both feel good.... so I turned around and gave her a (NO TONGUE) kiss on her lips... and she GIGGLED and GRINNED... and that made ME so happy... and MY MOM WAS OUTTA THE UNIVERSE PROUD OF ME FUR REMEMBERING. Well thingys went SO well that I asked if she would like to take me fur a WALK.... She had NEVER EVER IN HER YOUNG LIFE... WALKED A DOG... butt she trusted ME to take care of her.. I told the DAD how to push the chair... at MY pace... . and OFF WE WENT... I ignored the black dog that was coming our way... just like I am supposed to...
And when THIS dog gotted TOO Close I calmly said.... PLEASE move a bit so this girrrrl and I can get through... and her peeps agreed and made her move... butt not before they commented on how I was walking the girrrrl... like a PAWFESSIONAL... THAT was nice to hear.
THESE are Three of the PEEPS games that I helped HER to Play... We rolled her chair right up to the Connect the Paws game... and She used the Red ones I was BLUE... and she WON... again.... fur Privacy... these are some OTHER kidlets who were playing...
This was the Toss the bean Bag into the mouth thingys... that the girrrrrl got to play...
OH.... and they had a KITTY ONE TOO.... This kidlet got a HOLE IN ONE...
SO anyway.... not meaning to BRAG... butt my mom was SOOOO proud of how I remembered EVERYTHING that I needed to DO and NOT Do... and that the little Girrrl was SO happy.
Did I get any reward? Other than the Kiss and cuddles... I really didn't NEED anythingy else... butt...
More on THIS later...
