i have often described myself as a devout atheist. i am also a hospice volunteer. i take my bulldog to the in patient unit, and sometimes to homes.

i am good at dodging random comments from family about where their loved ones are going, but the visiting clergy sometimes make me nuts.
it wouldnt be so bad if some of them werent so bossy. i had one lady preacher who hated dogs who keep the family corralled in the room to protect them from my obviously dangerous dog. he is a big guy, but a bigger cupcake you will never find.
sad thing is most of the family wanted to visit w the dog. every time one escaped the room, they came over to say hi.

i ended up just sorta hovering in a strategic spot so i could catch them on the way to the family room, or on their way out the door.

next time neither of us will roll over at the sight of that magic collar.
