Monday Night Visit to Dodd

Hello friends,

I hope this finds everyone doing well. I am doing very well tonight, resting comfortably against three of mom's 11 pillows in my nice air conditioned house.

As it was Monday night, it was my night to go visit patients at Dodd. We were there from about 6:45 until 8 tonight. While we saw a fair number of people, there were also a fair number of people with their lights out already. It is getting darker earlier these days and we got there a little later because mom had to stop and get Chipotle (she claims she was going to pass out if she did not eat).

As usual, I did very good work, and was not subjected to any grooming procedures tonight, even though mom says I am in desperate need of a pedi. We got to see a draft of the poster Heather is putting together - it is actually about treating depression in elderly patients, and she has listed pet therapy as a type of therapy to deal with this. Mom told me tonight I was a very good dog and that she was proud of me.

We are off to sleep, so pleasant dreams to everyone...maybe I will have a dream where I am chasing my toy out of a pond tonight!

Very Sincerely,

The Chelsie Belle
