Stop and Paws for Nurse Sam
We recently came across this poem and I think it sums up our pet therapy work nicely. What do you think?
Clickity, clickity, clickity, clum…
down the long corridors here I come.
Through the halls and past the rooms,
by the buckets and the brooms.
Sniffing the way for someone in need,
just reach out your hand this I plead.
Then as a dog, I will know it’s okay,
for me to share my love with you today.
I’ll wag my tail and perk my ears,
and you can use my fur to dry your tears.
I’ll lick your face till you smile,
I’ll even sit with you for just a while.
So don’t let your head hang so low,
I pass no judgment, this I know.
I just want to love on you right here and now.
and be the VERY BEST DOG FRIEND I know
how.🐾

What a gorgeous poem! A lot of it translates to everyday dogs=)
I think all dogs are therapists, even if we don’t realize it. 😀
I like this poem.Liked the picture with the caption Stop and Paws for Nurse Sam.
Thank you.
Your Welcome
Beautiful, and perfect!
That’s a GREAT poem!! Probably the best one I’ve read in AGES! And Sam looks so adorbz in his nurse’s cap!!
At least this hat he can’t shake off. LOL
unconditional love and acceptance. Rare.
That is super sweet! And I adore Sam in his little nurses hat!!!
It’s the only way to get him to wear a hat! 😇
LOVE IT! What a great poem! <3
We think it was written by some doggy who knows how impawtent this work is to people in need!
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley

Thanks. We thought the words were pretty special for what we do.
Yes, all but the licking part, which the therapy dogs here fail their test if they do. 🙂
Same here. 😇
How perfect!! You and Sam are such a blessing to s very many!
I love this! It gave my human mommy goosebumps, and she’s going to share it with her pet therapy friends. Thank you. P.S. Looking fabulous Nurse Sam. <3
It’s perfect. I love licking faces. Especially right after lunch. Just sayin’.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
We really can’t lick (it’s a big no-no actually) so I just sniff around trash cans looking for lunch crumbs. Though that’s not the best thing, a strapping boy like myself needs energy when I visit with patients, right?
Your fur-iend,
Sam🐾
What a great poem!
That is just perfect!
I’ve often commented the cats fix everything … same for dogs. No matter how much Bear (for you, sub Elsa in here) destroys, he truly fixes everything 😉
And thank heavens for that-we’re all the richer for it, too! ❤︎
Lovely poem!
Poor Sam with that hat. I bet he wouldn’t wear it and you photoshopped it.
Pretty much!
What a lovely poem. I think it sums up pet therapy well. Hope you are enjoying your week with family.
That is so beautiful my friend!! XOXO – Bacon
Thanks Bacon. Sure describes our pet therapy to a tee.
What a wonderful poem! 🙂
Have a great day,
Pit
Thank you. It sure captures the spirit of pet therapy pups.
Love this poem! So true! We’ve done pet therapy in nursing homes. God bless you for what you do to offer comfort through your dogs xx
Many thanks. I found that poem at West Pines and with all that’s happened since, I totally forgot I scheduled the post. ☺️
Glad you posted it 😊
