They Have Healing Power

As some of you may know, my mother is in the hospital.  In between caregiving for my father, I stopped in to check on her after a surgery yesterday.  She was still rather woozy, but when I told her "Dad missed her," she asked if the dogs did too.

Indeed, they have healing powers.

Years ago, when my father was in rehab for his heart attack, a therapist suggested I bring Murphy and her sister, Riley, to visit.  It was sweet, slightly chaotic (Riley jumped right onto the bed), but I swear Dad seemed better the next time.

Not sure I want Annie in the hospital.  She's of an age that she would find wheel chairs amusing, and more than likely leap on everyone.  But I am sure she would also provide some relief!

Murphy's day.
