Another cool and wet day today but dad Warren and I still headed off to Bairnsdale Regional Health Service Hospital. I was lucky enough to receive a wonderful chin scratch in return for creating happy smiles. Now that I am back home I think I need to put my paws up for a rest. Till next time. Love Archie xxoo

Four years ago today I started the next part of my life journey and came to live with Dad and Mum. I'm sure they really wanted a lap dog. 1st pic ..My first night away from my Mum, brothers and sisters. Two years ago...still on dad's lap and this morning, again in my happy place💜💜. Thankyou Garry and Debbie at Bathgate Cocker Spaniels for teaching me to be such a happy pup, setting me up for my life and adventures ahead. I hope I have made you proud💜💜

Another day and another gentle hand and comfy bed. Dad Warren and I visited Maddocks Gardens Aged Care, Bairnsdale Regional Health Service this morning. With our changed schedule to Friday visits I thought to myself what a good day to choose with it being cool and very wet. A snuggly bed was just what I needed. Now to rest up before I head to my Social Saturday class at Playful Paws: Training & Wellness then storytime at The Book Orchard tomorrow. Busy, busy, busy. Xxoo Love Archie.💕

This morning I went along to Therapy Dog Thursday at Playful Paws: Training & Wellness . Fellow therapy dog Lola and I were so pleased to have Sam, Ashley and Deb from Distinctive Options Noweyung visit. I enjoyed a Playful Paws Puppachino’s with Ashley and a big thankyou Deb for our shark cartilage sticks. Yum!! Thankyou so much for coming to say hello. Lola and I just love the pats and cuddles and think your smiles are just brilliant. See you when you visit again. Love Archie xxoo

I just finished my morning visiting Bairnsdale Regional Health Service Hospital. Dad Warren said we are now going to visit the Hospital on Mondays and Maddocks Gardens Aged Care, Bairnsdale Regional Health Service on Fridays. He said it is because I have so many hoomans to say hello to now and didn't want me to wear my paws out. Today I had lovely head scratches and got to sit on lots of beds and have cuddles. I also met Renee and Ashley who work in the Oncology Unit. I hope I gave everyone a big smile to start their week. Love Archie💕💕

With all of my jobs I do I did a most important one this morning at Playful Paws: Training & Wellness. I instructed new Playful Paws Puppachino’s Barista Darcy on how to make the perfect pupcup. Hmmm...Yes she did a brilliant job!!

This morning, Dad Warren and I went along to Playful Paws: Training & Wellness for Therapy Dog Thursday. I was very happy to have my Playful Paws Puppachino’s ...Yum.... and Dad had a coffee. We waited a little while but it looked like we weren't going to have any visitors to say hello to today until....
a minibus from Opal Aged Care Bairnsdale filled with smiling faces pulled up at the gate. I just love getting hold of walking frames to show off my prowess at pushing them along but this was beyond my wildest dreams. So many visitors!! At this point, backup was called for in the form of fellow therapy dog, Greyhound Lola. Thank goodness she was on site as there were soooo many hands reaching out for a pat. I did manage to borrow a walker and display my talents pushing it along to sounds of cheers. So many kind, gentle hands just made Lola's and my morning💜💜.

What a busy morning I just had. Dad Warren and I attended the Bairnsdale Regional Health Service Hospital Volunteer's meeting and then had fun showing Whippet Tom and his human Rhonda around Maddocks Gardens Aged Care, Bairnsdale Regional Health Service before he starts his therapy dog journey there. I can tell you I was very excited to introduce them to my friends there. I think we created double the smiles.💜💜
