It is a long trip to visit my husbands mother in a NY nursing home as we live in Alabama.
But we make the trip two to three times a year so she knows she is not forgotten.
Before she went into the nursing home she always said "If I was to ever get a dog I would want that black one" meaning my Hannamaye. She always thought Tiffany was cute but she loved the laid back personality of Hanna.
So this trip I brought along Hannas shot records and we took her to see Grandma. Hanna has always been good but we weren't sure how she would react to the busy place.
Of course she was never on he floor as she could have been stepped on, wheeled across or even pick up some piece of food a resident may have dropped.
Well she did just fine, she sat in Grandmas lap and gave her kisses. She laid next to me the rest of the visit just like a lady. She only got a bit antsy when I had to go to the rest room. But even than she didn't act up she just laid next to my husband and watched the door till I returned.
I believe Grandma loved seeing her again and being able to pet her. Everyone thought she was such a cute puppy, not realizing she was as old as most of the residents there.
Hanna made me proud today and it was a great event.
