BaWaaJige and I have a hard time going with some of the others that have gone through the programme. Most visits are set up for tuesdays and thursdays days I have commitents already. But this wednesday afternoon there is one and only one person was signed up to go so BaWaaJige and I leaped at the chance to get in there. We are going to an Assisted Living home. It sould be loads of fun and I know Jige is going to soak up all that attention.

I know we will have lots of fun. No Jige doesnt do any tricks and I dont want to do any with him as then he gets a little too excited and he could hurt some one. He is still very young at 19mo(today). In the summer I have taken outside and we toss the bumper the guys like it.

In the hospitals where I go Tess isn't even encouraged to wag her tail...from the moment we started (I think she was your boy's age) I have folded her tail under her. Now she does it automatically in the rooms. Not so much in the corridors, when she greets nurses and doctors, though!

Funny, but even as wound up as Tucker can get sometimes, the moment we step into a facility, a switch goes off. He knows what is appropriate to do. I suspect Jige will know exactly how to behave as well. Tucker is so funny after the visit. That is when I usually become the recipient of the stored up energy! Roo, roos, wildly wagging tail, kisses, etc.
