Teddy’s mom, Heidi, told us he has been walking a lot and spending time with his human brother and sister.
Teddy misses his mom who has been out-of-state helping Grandma. He can’t wait for her to get home, because FaceTime is too confusing.
Teddy’s dad works as doctor in the emergency department. Looks like Teddy might be following in his footsteps. What might Teddy’s first order be? Pass the bacon stat!
Lulu accompanied her owner, Bonnie, while she delivered homemade masks for healthcare workers. Bonnie says Lulu enjoys seeing more of her family but is ready to resume her busy schedule of therapy dog visits.
It’s been weeks since therapy dogs have visited the UConn Health Sciences Library. During these stressful times, we could all use a furry hug or a sloppy canine kiss. Wondering about our furry friends, the library reached out to our therapy dog teams to find out what their pups have been up to. It turns out, they miss us too.
On Fridays, the library will feature one of our therapy dogs to update you on what they have been doing to keep busy. Our first post features Nala who recently turned five. We hope you enjoy their stories.
If you would like to share your dog’s activities with the UConn Health community, email me at urciuoli@uchc.edu, with your pet’s photo and a brief story.

Nala and her owner Deb said: “THANK YOU and CHEERS to all our healthcare professionals! You are true HEROES!! We wanted to show our support and offer you some puppy love and comfort with a virtual visit from Nala. We miss you and hope we can see you soon.”
Since we last saw Nala, she celebrated her fifth birthday. What a big girl you are!
Nala is good but certainly misses her people. Deb said Nala is “always nudging one of us for affection.” Nala loves to play and go for walks.
Nala lives in Wethersfield. On nice days, she and Deb visit the Broad Street green or try Mill Pond Park in Newington. Otherwise, they walk on the side streets in their neighborhood.
So long for Now!
