And just like today’s smile, Norman is heading to hospital to reduce stress in nurses and patients. We hope you get some time in the ‘Lab’ this week.
Live, love, bark! 🐾

Amazing just how quickly that treatment works!
Within seconds. 🐶
Yes!
There’s nothing quite like it to make a soul feel better.
Agreed!
Best therapy effurr and you made me smile today too, Norman😸Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend🐾😽💞
Thanks, Binky. We think it’s the best therapy too. 💗💙💗
As the kids say “Facts!”.
😃
LOL
I’m happy to know Norman is giving so much pleasure at the hospital. There are many dogs in my small neighborhood and when I take a walk, I get to give lots of tummy rubs and I enjoy it as much as the dogs do. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment, Nancy! Even if we weren’t visiting patients, those neighborhood ear rubs are great for both the scratcher and the scratchee. 😍
Excellent job Norman!!! 👏👏
Our pet therapists all live with Bogie’s “Grandpa Chuck”, about a 40-minute drive from here. We need another visit soon.
Best antidepressant ever made!
We hope a pet therapy visit is in the new future. 🥰
Excellent job, Norman! 👏
With all our fur angels all wearing wings now, our pet therapists all live with Bogie’s “Grandpa Chuck”, about a 40-minute drive from home. Hopefully we’ll get to see them again soon. 🐾🐾❤️❤️
Cheers to Norman and the others for spreading joy!
Thanks, Frank. He rocked it yesterday and brought some joy to several patients and staff.
Great …. but there was no doubt.
We are back to having therapy pets coming into our facility once again…we love it, staff and residents alike!
Keep up your good work, Norman!
It’s quite remarkable how a simple visit of a therapy pet can bring such joy to those in need. Yesterday we visited with folks from the senior behavioral unit. Not all dogs do well around folks with mental health issues. To see their faces light up when they see Norman and pet his fur is such a privilege for which I’m grateful to experience.
Lulu: “That’s definitely good therapy for stressful days! Go spread some tail-wagging cheer, Norman!”
Even though he has no tail, Norman can wiggle his back end with the best of ’em.
What a great cartoon. It has been proven that folks with dogs, on the average, have lower stress levels and live longer. That’s our story and we’re sticking with it. XOX Xena, Lucy and Chia
Your ‘story’ would be spot on. 💙

We can feel the stress levels evaporating when we visit. 😇 #pettherapyrocks
Loads of love and dogtor kisses were dispensed today. 😉
Awww, isn’t that the truth. You made me smile.
I linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups, a smooch to Norman and a big hug to you. ♥
A trip to the ‘lab’ that makes people smile. 😊 As always, many thanks for the link.
Go Norman.
😍
Lab time with doggies, kitties or birdies is definitely very helpful. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words on Pinot’s blog. Sending big hugs to your end…
Pinot’s mom
🥰 Sending loads of digital ‘lab’ time to you and yours. Hugs and tail wags.
What also works: petting a cat and listen to its purring.
No doubt! Let’s get those ‘engines’ running, kitties!
Get lots of pets norman!!
So true! Lucky patients who get to meet with Stress reduction Dr. Norman!
The Dogtor made lots of peeps happy on his rounds. 💙
You go, Monika and Norman! Have a great time at Pet Therapy. 🙂
Good visit on 4th floor-where we’re always welcome.
I need some lab time today!
Go Norman, and thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for the kind words! He brought a lot of smiles to all sorts of folks today. 💙
