Hi everyone, mom took us to the hospital to visit our Aunt Alice today who had hip surgery. We got put on our double leash and walked in together like the little princesses we are. People made funny sounds at us, Lucy thought they were hissing like we both think a snake sounds, but I thought they were making the usual people sounds make at us when they pet us and tell us how cute we are. Anyhow the last time mom took us to the hospital she put Lucy in a suitcase and wheeled her in and carried me under her arm in a bag. She knows we are therapy dogs but she thought it would be funnier to smuggle us in with her friend Debbie's daughters boyfriend. That sounds confusing but it's not supposed to be. He was a good kid, he petted us a lot and apologized for our mother being silly. We love her anyway. She does it a lot and we are used to it. She also wears a clown hat that jingles and has bells on it. People give her funny looks and then look down at us and figure out we are a team. Then they start making those funny sounds at us again.
So back to the hospital today. Aunt Alice was happy to see us, but she was not feeling well today and yawned and stuff came out of her mouth into a pink bucket. It smelled funny. We hid our heads under the covers hoping we didn't make her sick. Then Lucy fell asleep while Alice was holding her and I (Desi) was being sang to by Aunt Alice's friend Abbe who changed her voice when she spoke to us. People do that a lot around us, so we are used to it.
Here we are with Abbe posing for mom.
Later today we went to a new coffee shop and were asked to leave. It was so hot outside my mom was not too happy with the barista, so she ordered very fast and found a shady spot for us to sit. Then we met a nice lady who took us for a walk with our mom. It was so hot out, we had to pretend we were smelling things to get our mom and her friend to slow down. Then we got fed ice cubes which we call Popsicles, they were yummy- oh and a bonie also. The nice lady we met today changed her voice like the Abbe lady in the hospital. We are not quite sure why people do this when they speak to us, perhaps they have allergies.
When we got home, the neighbor boy was bouncing his basketball and it scared us. We didn't even want to walk by him to get into the house, so we froze in our paw-tracks. Mom had to pick us both up because we wouldn't budge. When we got inside mom said we smelled sweaty and gave us both baths. We usually hate baths- but today we didn't fight it because we got cooled off with some cold water- one for the little Shih Tzu's!!
