Visiting

I went to see my Aunty Peggy (My Mum's Mum)

She lives close to the big red castle...

There it is look, we're nearly there!


Now my darling Chester's Mom works in a place like Aunty Peggy lives
and she says how much good pups can do for peeps with dementia
so my peeps ignored the 'no dogs rule'
and snuck me in to see Aunty Peggy

Hiya Aunty Peggy, remember me ...Princess Leah 
Aunty Peggy was sad when we first arrived 
but Mum put me on the bed beside her 
and I licked her hand
That was it!!!!! 
We became firm friends and Aunty Peggy started smiling
We even went to have tea and CAKE in the dining room 
(and yes she fed me loads of CAKE!!!!)



It was a very good day for my Mum and Aunty Peggy
So.....
When you nose its the best thingy to do.....

go on and BREAK those SILLY rules!!!!

(PeeS I hopes Santy Paws saw me 'cos I was SUCH a good girl)

Loves and licky kisses
Princess Leah

  1. I'm so glad you were able to see Aunt Peggy. I am sure it did her a world of good to spend time with you. I have an Aunt with dementia, too, and it is so sad to see her sometimes. Maybe I will break the rules, too, and bring Ruby to see her.

  3. Leah we 100% agree with your Mum. Pets are GOOD for everybuddy!
    My Gma was in a memory facility too. That facility had a resident dog Copper he was a Basset mix and they had a kitty, named Remi who lived full time in the memory unit. Remi loved sleeping on beds and sitting with the residents on the couch in the day room No matter the severity of their memory THEY ALL SMILED GREAT BIG SMILES WHEN THEY SAW REMI. Your princess manners were quite evident. Santa was watching and your stocking will be fulllllllll
    Hugs madi your bfff

  12. We're so glad you sneaked in to see your Aunty Peggy and made a "little miracle" happen! Ghostwriter says to pass it on and tell all our blogger friends to visit their local nursing homes. Maybe Aunty Peggy's place should change the rules a bit and invite therapy animals to visit too. Have a Happy Christmas!

  14. Sometimes you have to break rules....'specially the silly ones. We know how much your visit meant to Auntie Peggy. We have a friend who goes to respite in one of those places, and they bring in a dog for him....they have the best time and are buddies. We hope you get to visit Auntie Peggy again soon.

  15. Good for you! Just look how much pleasure you brought Auntie Peggy. We think if they had a dog living there the residents would be much happier.

  24. That place where your Aunty Peggy lives needs to learn from your visit all the good pups can do for their residents. Our Dad's sister suffers from dementia too, very sad too as she is not that old. She is probably going to have to go to a special place soon too as her care has become quite difficult. Makes us all sad at the holiday time:( We hope you get to see your Aunty Peggy again soon.

  25. What a wonderful way to cheer Aunt Peggy up!! We don't understand why some places do not allow us to visit when we can bring so much happiness!

  28. Why Oh Why would they have such a silly rule like that. Why everybody knows we dogs were just made especially to cheer humans and be their companions and give thems all the love we have. Why all of the care facilities around us allow me to go in and some even have their own dog that checks in on all the residents each day.
    Merry Christmas

  35. Glad you had a nice visit with your Aunt Peggy. I'm glad you were able to bring a smile to her face. I wish more places allowed dogs. Sometimes just seeing or petting a dog can make someone's mood go from sad to happy in an instant. Happy Holidays to you!!!

    -Love,
