Kermit, a beloved senior dog in hospice care, has a special way to enjoy his remaining days. His family noticed that even though he couldn't go on walks anymore, he still loved the company of other dogs. To keep him happy, they set up a welcoming station in their front yard where other dogs could visit for a drink, a treat, or a potty break while Kermit watched from his window. Nutmeg, a deaf Pit Bull, was one of the first dogs to visit Kermit, bringing joy to both dogs. Nutmeg's mom shared that Kermit was a 'very good boy' who enjoyed seeing his new friends. This heartwarming gesture highlights the importance of keeping hospice dogs engaged and connected to the world around them. Activities like scent games, recreating favorite memories, and spending quiet time with your dog can greatly enhance their quality of life during their final days.
