Almost every Friday, Tilly gets super groomed so we can go visit folks at Methodist Hospital. She is such a good dog and for the most part loves getting groomed. (The only time she pulls away is when I get to her back paws. I think she's ticklish.) Even though it's exhausting to do all of her grooming myself, the pay off is totally worth it. It's amazing how just seeing a dog walk down a corridor affects people for the better.
The Methodist Hospital staff is great. Therapy dogs have been part of their program for years. They always encourage us to see just one more patient. Just one more. I love it. So does Tilly. This might be the best volunteer job ever.
