Hattie Passed Her Assessment and is now a ………...

That sounds like a photo-opportunity for sure Helen - have to get the boys to get it recorded on "film".

 

Well done to you both What a fantastic achievement and such a nice thing to be able to do. I look forward to hearing about your PAT work together.....,and photos of course

 

Congratulations. Does PAT work come with insurance for your dog? We considered therapy dog here and I was warned about that.

 

They do have public liability but I also have this on my own pet insurance.

 

OK I will get Thomas to take some photo's of our first visit - promise, even though I really don't like being photographed xx

 

Hattie, you are amazing and will provide invaluable joy to many people. Well done Helen & Hattie.

 

Aww thanks so much Sue, I really hope Hattie can cheer some residents up x

 

That's brilliant, well done to you both. How lovely to take Hatti to visit and make people happy.

 

That's so lovely Helen, as you know my old Bones used to visit old people in a local home and it was a wonderful experience for him and for them too.

 

My T-Shirt and Hattie's tabard have arrived, all paperwork in order, insurance etc., I have contact a Nursing Home and a Hospice offering our services but no reply. I thought it was going to be simple enough to sort out as we are offering a lovely service for free. Is it me or does the world just move soooo slowly? Freeling pretty frustrated now as it's been a month since we were accepted by PAT x

 

I think it's just the world seems to move slowly when we are keen to start on something, and conversely slowly when it's something we're not keen on . I'm sure you'll hear back very soon, if not why not drop in and introduce yourself to the Manager and see how things progress. I know you and Hattie are going to be fantastic in your new role. Oh, just so you don't forget we need photos of you and Hattie in your official uniforms , please, please, please

 

Yes your right Rosemary, I am so keen to get cracking I am becoming very impatient. I will give it another week or so and drop in and introduce myself. As much as I dislike having my photo taken I promise to get some done of Hattie and I in our 'uniform' and post them, I PROMISE!! Thanks for your help. xx

 

Whoopee! Looking forward to the photos - I'm with you on photos as well but you're going to just have to grin and bear it this time

 

OK x

 

Morning, a little progress has been made. I emailed the Hospice that is part of our local Hospital a week ago, I received a lovely reply yesterday telling me that a meeting had been held and all staff agreed it would lovely to have a regular PAT dog visit, I have to phone the lady on Monday for a chat so looks like "we're in" oh I really hope so. I will update you on Monday, I'm so excited although a Hospice will be tough and I'm not xx

 

That's absolutely fantastic news. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome to the phone call on Monday. You will be fine and think of the happiness that Hattie will bring to people there. xx

 

Well I finally managed to talk to the lady at the Hospice, Hattie and I have been invited in for a chat this Friday, I reckon they want to give us the once over to see if we will do Feel a bit nervous but I am sure all will be fine and Hattie will do me proud. Keeping everything crossed that they like us and Hattie will be invited to be their regular PAT dog xx

 

You will be fine! Good luck for Friday, look forward to hearing how you both get on

 

Good luck for Friday

 

How exciting!
I am sure all will go well - enjoy it!
