Most of you know about the issue with my brother and the little girl. Well some other members here suggested i ask the hospital if patches can go in to help with her depression and well heres how it went.
Ok they agreed and in fact she is there right now. i called them att 5 this morning to ask and they said that if they could get their Therapy Dog handler to come it would be ok. Well i called her and she said yes of course and we talked about patches for a few minutes and she said i can be there at 6 so i called eric and said this is what they said they would do do you think you can do it adn he said of course anything. So right now she is at the hospital. I was on the phone for a lot of it she went to see my brother first and she darted right up on the bed next to him:rolleyes: so much for nice calm young lady. but the tdi lady was fine with that and she didnt hurt him. But shes and Corey spent a hour together then the little girls parents heard she was there and asked if she could come see their daughter since she is a dog nut. and the hospital explained the situation and they were like we understand but if she is kid friendly then we will sign any forms you would like. and of course she is she lives for kids and the playground. so they took her in thereand the girl's face just lighted up! PAtches walked to the edge of the bed and i told her sit over the phone just to enforce it more since it was a kid and she jsut sat there then the little girl, Amy started whining that she wanted to hug the doggie and patches slowly without anyone notice inched herself onto the bed:rolleyes: and jsut layed there and let the girl hug and pet her, then she of course had to get her huge kisses is nad started licking Amy all over the face. and the parents were so happy i was talking to them on the phone and i could hear the fathers voice break. but they asked me if after she was out of the hospital and able to play if they could meet us somewhere with patches and of course i said yes so after all get well there will be a playdate at the playground. and the hospital asked if we ever thought of making Patches a TDI dog :D:D. i was like we thought about it but was gonna wait till she was older and they were like well whenever you do it she is welcome here anytime and she is going back to see both of them monday!!!!!!!

omg, that just brought tears to my eyes. The power of a dogs presences never fails to impress/amaze me!!!

i am so glad the hospital let patches in!! Studies have shown that this helps recovery and shortens the time in the hospital in many cases :) !

eric tried to feed her when they got back to my house and she ate a little. she is still always in his room or at his doorway but since my old room is right there eric just sits in there watching my tv or something and wits fo rher to come out and puts her up on the bed with him.

i was so glad the hospital allowed her in too. he called eric and thanked him adn he says he cant wait to get home and asked if eric was coming back later.:)

it amazes me too dreeza. to hear about that little girl smiling was just great.

How wonderful !!! So glad you and Eric followed through !!! I remember when Bubba got his TDI . The hospital at that time wasn't really accepting dogs , but I sneaked him in to the Cardiac Floor to visit his " Daddy ". When I got off on that floor a doctor came running up to us .....oh oh , I thought ....nabbed ! " Is that a Therapy Dog " she asked . I told her why I was there . She asked me if I could visit 4 others after seeing Tom . Of course !!! She changed to hospital dog rules too !

thats great. they havent had a group there before they had just one handler asnd dog but not a group and they were leary about letting her in thats why they said it had to be before 8 and had to have the therapy dog handler there with them. but now they want her back and my brother and eric want to do it and since they are friends too i think it would be a good thing for him. because erics actully brought up corey staying with him since hes in school there already and he has a life there. so i think thats what we may do. my brother really liked the idea so its very possible.
