The problem with being hospitalized

It's really amazing to see reactions in a nursing home or hospital. I saw it with my mother and many other people in her home. It isn't universal, in fact some have an unusual fear response, but that is more the exception.

Many hospitals are relaxing their rules about animal visits and I've actually done a couple of cultures on dogs just to verify that there wasn't a MRSA OR VRSA staph brooding in the dog.

I use to take Andy down to the nursing home that friend of the family was in. I worried that Andy might hurt someone because they were so frail. Andy was so gentle around these people. When Andy would arrive there eyes would light up.
