How do you spell love: N-U-G-G-E-T!
Nugget, who is truly worth her weight in “gold”-en, and her mom Cathy pay regular visits to the Indian Rocks Mental Health Hospital. The team also visits Regal and Sabal Palms of Largo as well as the Safety Harbor Library.
According to Cathy, she believes that Nugget enjoys visiting the Indian Rocks Mental Health Hospital best. There are so many people to see, and Nugget LOVES interacting with the staff as well as with the patients.
In fact, Nugget’s most memorable moments are when she visits certain nurses there. Since she thrives on affection, she eagerly flips upside down to receive the belly rubs she adores!
When she’s not officially on duty, Nugget loves having her mom throw a ball into the family pool. She happily retrieves it and wants her mom to throw it again and again. The two of them also attend various GRRMF education events.
Once a year, they have visiting ducks, and what makes Cathy smile is how much Nugget loves to chase them out of “her” pool. But what is especially endearing about Nugget is how much she loves taking their nightly walks and playing with her brother Enzo.
Now Cathy hopes the team can start visiting more places and sharing more of Nugget’s legendary golden love.
