Hi Everybody!!
Today mom and dad took me to our local nursing home in Tremont PA. Once we got there we were greeted by a nurse who looked over my papers to make sure my shots were up to date...and they were.
Let me tell you, these people were so happy to see me!! I was very well mannered, greeted everybody with a paw and maybe a kiss if they wanted one. I had one lady tell me she'd watch me anytime mom and dad need to get away for a couple of days. One man told me to keep on being a good dog and make everybody happy and I was to strut my stuff....which I always do. Another man was feeding me popcorn...he's my buddy because he gave me treats. We'd walk down the hall and they'd hollar out wanting us to stop with them. The staff even came to see me in awe. We were told to come back again soon!!
I brought smiles, laughter and some tears to some. We heard stories of when they used to have dogs and what kind of doglife they had. It was just an amazing morning. My mom told me she is proud of me and was very happy with the results.
I finally lived up to Mr. H's saying by putting my best paw forward...I did that all morning and it was an amazing experience. My goal was to bring smiles, hope, faith, SBG love...and guess what, I did all that and then some!! The spirit of Christmas was lifted in everybody's heart. You know what? That was my gift to all of those who reside there.
Now we are getting ready for our Christmas Eve dinner followed by opening presents....I gotta see what opening presents are, I'm told I'm already I'm good at ripping things to pieces.
Until next time...High Paw Five and Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Sis,
I'm very proud of you I knew you would be GREAT at this! All the SBG cockers put their best paw forward! We have to make Gma Mary & Gpa Philip proud:) Mom is thinking about seeing if Mrs. B could do what you did. I was good once so she might see if I could do that too. You gave all those people more than any material present they could get and the best part is you get to keep giving it every time you go back. I'm sure that many of those people will really look forward to your visits! You look beautiful! How was your spa treatment. Mom is going to start grooming us! We both got a bath today before mom took her shower! Then we had company and they think we are pretty cute. I had to bark and let them know that I was on duty when they first got here. But you know that we are master mooches and dad grilled steaks. Our noses were working overtime! Keep up the GREAT work and have a very Merry Christmas! LOL Mr. H:) & Mrs. B
