Taylor does get a lot from going to these places. My wife put me up to it originally. She said Taylor would like it and people will like Taylor. As I have said in the past, you don't usually see potentially full-on dogs at these sorts of places. Normally they get older dogs and docile dogs - such as Golden Retrievers. Not alert and alive and a little unpredictable Corgis. But Corgis are excellent value because of their interesting dsposition, their soft cuddly coats and the lack of any strong inhibiting doggy smell.
Taylor only stopped kissing patients and residents a year ago. He is much more reserved these days. Most residents and staff just loved Taylor when he jumped all over them and lavished them with kisses - but he never did it boisteriously - just enthusiastically. So Tucker would be fine and you wouldn't need to place Lulu on anyones lap.
I always tell everyone who wants Taylor on their laps or let Taylor stand on his back legs with his froint legs on their thighs, that Taylor will leave hairs behind - and not one person has ever minded.
