I agree, Gemy. Though I would thoroughly enjoy doing some kind of therapy work with Piper, I don't believe she has the demeanor or personality to participate in such programs, let alone go through the required training! Piper does, however, seem to have an instinctive understanding of knowing when she must remain calm and quiet in "serious" situations. My doctor permits Piper to stay on my lap throughout simple exams and getting flu shots because Piper is co-operative and calm throughout visit; this side of Piper was a wonderful surprise. I was also surprised at how soothing Piper's very slow licks (on back of hand) were when I got flu shot. From the time doctor moved to my left side with syringe until she put band-aid on, Piper did that slow, rhythmic lick--something she'd not done until that moment and she hasn't done it since. Our little ones possess deep, sensitive and mysterious abilities...Below is 'normal' Pipe, always at the ready and always ready to bounce! |
