Gods working miracles.....!!!

What a truly blessed day we had with the Nursing Home !! Harly was a HIT !! There are ee4 very sweet dimentia patients in a private setting with a husband and wife nurse team who run the home. They both are just so delightful and take extra special care of thier 4 patients. A very warm..friendly..welcoming home...so much we just felt like we had known them a long time.

We arrived and was invited into the kitchen to meet Judy.. who just smiled soo brightly when she saw Harly . She held him and stroked him so gently, and he just lapped it all up...he is soo good..even with strangers.. just wags his tail and snuggles up. We then ventured into the living room where Andy, Bernice and Helen were sitting enjoying some relaxing TV. Harly did his rounds introducing himself to them all...and was just as delighted to meet the rest of them. Jaunita is just soo caring and loving with these dear folks. I noticed Bernices feet resting on her walker..Juanita moved the walker and placed a comfortable foot rest under both her legs to make her more comfortable..what a caring heart she has ..we were very touched the whole time were stayed. I went and sat next to Helen for a while and let Harly snuggle up to her...and he just sprawled himself out..and fell asleep...I mean ...he just made himself quite at home !!! hehehe

I noticed Andy very quiet..he is the only gentlemen at the home..apart from Juantias husband of course, Jeff...and he was sitting in a recliner chair..very quiet..but after about 1/2 hour..he started to share some very detailed story about his dad and his love for deep sea fishing...i sat and enjoyed his story and smiled..and nodded..and just let him enjoy sharing with us. He was smiling and just sooo enjoying it..like he was right there with it. ( remember..these are dimentia patients...have good long term memories...not good with the short at all..)

We just thoroughly enjoyed our stay...which lasted about 1 1/2 hours...and Harly was soooo good...and sooo well behaved...showing his new found friends how sweet....gentle..and loving he is...a true gift from the Lord...and we know he has many wonderful times ahead to share :)

Juanita shared with us as we were leaving...that 2 of the 4 patients had talked more today than she had seen in a long time..they were bubbly and enjoying chatting with us..and i could see that even in 1 visit what a miracle little Harly has been.

We were originally going to wait to bring Harly back after he had some obedience class...but after our visit Juanita was excited to see him again much sooner than that...so we decided to bring him ever 2nd week...after lunch around 2pm..for about a 1 hour visit.

The other neat thing is this home is alittle different to other run homes..where they have strict regulations..I offered to bring some home baked goodies and thier eyes lit up..!!! So another sweet blessings....cookies...muffins...cakes....bread....the list is endless...LOL

I will ask permission next visit if I may take pics of Harly with his new found friends...to share on his blog :)

What an awesome God we serve...miracles happening before our very eyes.!!!

Blessings dear friends....
