Job Hunt Week 2

Welcome back!

As you can probably guess from the fact that I’m blogging I made it back from my week of being a military dog.

So here goes week 2.

Item: Stethoscope

This week I tried my paw at being a doctor. I started in on the tests I had to take in order to become a doctor. Boy those tests are HARD! I passed but there was no way I was going to perform a surgery! That was too scary. Instead I just sat on the side and watched. The doctors I worked with are really talented. It takes a lot of skill to make the cuts and stitches needed in surgery. My paws just can’t move like theirs do.

While there I also got to help out with patient testing. I got to tell someone they had an ear infection. I signed my paw on the line for them to get some medication to get better.

But I have to say my favorite thing I got to do while working at the hospital was getting to see all the service dogs who came in to cheer up the patients.  They would come in and nap with them, or play games with them, or the patients would read to them. I know they didn’t do much but the smiles that spread across the patients’ faces who got to interact with the service dogs was priceless.

 

They do a lot of good going in and visiting the sick. It makes them happy and they smile and laugh. As the saying goes laughter is the best medicine!

So let’s say good bye with a laugh…
