There were Marmite jars, cushions, blankets and everything! I think everyone will agree to love this kind of Marmite! I had my own lunch prepared by the kitchen of some cooked meats with my name on, hand delivered by Sam, one of the Catering Assistants. I have had my very own photoshoot in the garden on Willow Ward with a professional photographer and will soon be a star of a calendar that has been commissioned by the Elysium Healthcare team. I have become a little bit of a celebrity since my last blog, with lots of people knowing about me and how brilliant I am at my job. I showed them how I can give people my paw when I first meet them, and also told them how much I love working here, but I am not sure they understood me.
I was also a VIP visitor when we had the CQC team at the site, and I met with the inspectors. She was soon smiling and engaging with everyone after some time with me. These are both my favourite activities! One of the ladies was having a bad day and feeling very sad and low so my mummy thought that a visit from me would help to cheer her up, which of course it did. Everyone has said how much they smile when I come onto the ward, and they love throwing the ball and giving me treats. When I came to the service on one of my visits, I went to my favourite garden and spent some time playing with two of the men that are currently there. Because of the really hot weather my mummy kept me at home and at doggy day care to ensure that I was kept cool as I don’t cope well in the heat. I have had some really interesting times since I last wrote my blog in June. I loved one (online) review, something like, “I didn’t think I was a prude, but this was too sexy for me.” And I’m like, “Oh, I did it! I shocked someone.” It’s so hard to shock people these days.Hello, it’s me again, Marmite, the Pets as Therapy Dog at St Neots Hospital. Hamrick: I just hope people are reading the book, so I can write more (Hamrick has already submitted her second novel, focusing on Sylvie’s friend).
I kept saying, “Did you finish it yet?” And he said, “Give me a minute!” AP: And what kind of reaction do you hope to get from the public? Hamrick: Well, my mom read the first few chapters and said, “I didn’t know it was going to be THAT sexy!” And I was like, “Well, Mom, you encouraged me to write the book.” And she said, “But I didn’t know it was going to be like THAT!” And then I told her, “OK you’re not allowed to read anymore until it’s finished!” Mick was so supportive, he really enjoyed it. AP: How has your family reacted to the book? But I love that it’s changing, there are now way more female directors than there used to be.
And ballet has always been such a male-dominated world - yet it’s a female-dominated workplace. Hamrick: I think it happens in every career, everywhere. AP: One serious angle you introduce is about the young women being mistreated by powerful men in charge.
