Hello Melissa, 

 

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how well our puppy is doing! We bought “Luna” from you last summer. She was born in April. 

 

I work in the hospital in Mount Ayr.  The hospital asked if I would consider training Winkey (her new name) to be a therapy dog.  She has an amazing personality and gentle nature.  She has not gone through her training yet, but has been going to work with me for the last three months.  She loves to go to work and has made a big impact on the hospital.  The staff adore her and she is great with patients.  As an ER doctor, I have found that she has made it so we need less pain medicine and less need to hold kids when we put in IVs or put in stitches.  She has a natural recognition of fear and anxiety. When someone is sad or scared, Winkey snuggles in and gets kids to look at her rather than the thing scaring them. 

 

I thought you might like to know where she ended up and what a big difference she is making.  If you have another docile puppy from this parent pair in the next year or two, we may be interested.  The hospital would like another 4-legged employee to cover Winkey’s day’s off.  Winkey has stolen their hearts. ️ She is a big part of our family, as well. We certainly would not mind bringing home a sister at some point. 

 

Take care,
