It was a fun day for Pumbaa to meet new staff, patients and see some of our friends at the cancer center. In the last photo, Pumbaa is ready for a nap, after a few chicken nuggets.

Pumbaa listened very closely to what was expected of her while in the clinic.
She has big shoes to fill. After clinic, she was so happy as she had done a great job. Chicken nugget time 🍗🐓

Introducing Princess Pumbaa!
Following in Princess Danger and Princess Poppy's very LARGE footsteps, Pumbaa has passed her therapy dog test!

She will be volunteering at HonorHealth Cancer Care Clinics & HonorHealth hospitals starting this week! She is still shy and lazy but looks forward to spreading her love and compassion to patients. Make sure to say hi when you see her!

Today, marks one week since Princess Poppy passed away. Alice and I were so fortunate to have volunteered for two organizations, Pets on Wheels and HonorHealth. We may retire Poppy’s badges, but we will always have her spirit and love in our hearts.
We will miss hearing those little toe nails as she entered the cancer center and the clinic chemotherapy infusion room. We will miss hearing, “Poppy’s in the house,” as she entered the buildings. We will miss witnessing the immediate smile on faces when she entered the room as if to announce ,” I am here!” We will miss seeing the calmness and joy that she could bring to patients and staff by just holding her. We will miss going to Chick-fil-A after volunteering. We will miss the employees shouting out, “Poppy’s here” while waiting for nuggets. We will miss seeing Poppy in a new dress for every holiday with painted toenails matching the dress . We will miss patients asking, when will she be back. Most importantly, we will miss her.
We are often asked, exactly what does a Pet Therapy dog do. Part of that answer can be captured in photos. The last photo is one of my favorites . This young lady came for her chemotherapy in the afternoon. Her Father accompanied her every time. They had a wonderful relationship. On this particular day, she was the last patient in the chemotherapy infusion room and not feeling well. She called Poppy over. Poppy put up her paws and stayed that way for a very long time while being pet. Pet Therapy is about bringing joy and love to others.

Princess Poppy crossed the rainbow bridge in the early morning, Saturday 9/21. Her body betrayed her with autoimmune encephalitis shortly past her 3rd birthday, but she was able to fight until she was nearly 7 years old. I could sit back and think about all the strife- the meds, the seizures, the vet visits- but I won’t. Because she wouldn’t.

We will remember her energy. Her passion for life. Her stubbornness to keep moving forward. Her love of volunteering and seeing patients. She was seeing patients until the week before her death. She died at home, surrounded by family, peacefully, on her own terms. Our hearts are broken, but we are so relieved that she is no longer in pain. She will be desperately missed and will always have a piece of our hearts.

RIP PopStar. We love and miss you so much.

We had a great day visiting at the Cancer Center.

What a great day. Poppy had a chance to see old friends and make new friends. The last pic is the look that she gives me when the chicken nuggets are not coming out faster.

Today, we had to say goodbye to one of Poppy’s favorite people. We are so happy that Sherry had an opportunity to advance her career. We will miss her. We wish Sherry the very best.

Poppy visited the library. Several libraries have an after school reading program where children read to the dogs. We met some great readers.
