I would never have believed it but my wife insists it’s true. She says as soon as she pulled into the rehab hospital’s parking lot Rusty started to whimper and wag his tail. He hadn’t been up in two weeks but on this his third visit he hadn’t forgotten where exactly I am incarcerated.
My wife takes him for walks and he comes running back to me and reaches up over the bed rail to tell me all about it.
He bothers no one, never tries to run out of the room and makes not a sound. Most of the staff love him.
We move his bed around as he chooses.
He loves grass and my great regret is we lack thick lawns in most areas of the Keys. Up here he takes advantage.
Layne’s sister is in town for a visit.

Rusty is so happy to see you, a very special bond. Good therapy for everyone.
Teeki likes the grass also and like you said there is far too little in the Keys. So we go down to the new Truman Waterfront, lots of grass there. Also a great place for walking which you will be doing soon.

Excellent plan Doug. I miss Rusty Celia as you know.
Great family pictures.
The happiness radiates from both you and rusty in the first picture.
Bill's golden retriever knows the way to our house and if they go by the turn he lets them know they are going the wrong way! Glad Rusty got to visit and Geeta too.

Glad to see your best friend gets to visit, remember Dog is God spelled backwards!
Rusty is the sweetest, and well behaved dog ever! Glad to see that he gets to visit you. Healing for both. Great pictures. Thank you for sharing your visits. Best wishes, Michigan.
So glad you got a visit from your family. It's great that Layne has Geeta to keep her company for a few days. I love Rusty's smile of greeting.
I member how sad it was when Cheyenne died. My dog died at nearly the same time. I have a "Rusty" now also - a goofy yellow lab named Hunter. When I wake in the middle of the night he comes over to my bed every time. Rusty looks great.
