To start my blog today, I will tell you of yesterdays requested trip for my services as a therapy dog! I made my way to St James Rehab Center to be there for a new friend who recently found out about her cat scan results! She needed a canine friend with her yesterday and I tend to calm her and put her at ease. Her dog Buddy has undergone some surgery in the past few days so he is at home resting, and his companions are keeping him quiet as he has incisions that can open if he does in fact get to excited! So Scout and myself are helping Buddy out! (Yes, Buddy is my pack member I guess twice removed, since Scout, Sandy, and Candycane are my pack once removed and Buddy is part of their extended pack.......well you get the idea!)
While I was there, I was petted within an inch of my life, just like the dogs on the set of "Must Love Dogs" and at the end there is a disclaimer to such! Pam has a new name for me as well- ok this one is more of a title than just a name for me.....ya ready, part of the credit shall be given to Charles Crowe of GLIRC team!
My Title is "the Duke of Melville"....and when you greet me as I am now royalty you must CURTSY! Just to let you be fully informed a CURTSY is a gesture which is used to show respect and gratitude of those of higher social ranking!
Here is how to properly greet me:
First you lower your head (like your giving a respectful nod). Then keeping your hands by your side extend your right foot behind the left, a couple of inches will do, rest on he ball of your foot, and shift most of your weight onto the front foot. Now bend your knees, and lower yourself down into a curtsy. Bending the knees outward instead of forward. Oh and keep your back straight, do not lean forward, and do not stick out your behind. Finally gracefully bring yourself back to your original position.
Ok, that is for the females.....males will bow before me! Bending at the waist with their head lowered.
Ok, so until my next blog,
have a happy tail waggin' day,
I'm going to have my breakfast,
and continue my countdown to when I see my beloved family again,
Dukey AKA "the Duke of Melville"
