We're off to our first Therapy Dog Session!
« on: January 21, 2006, 04:39:18 pm »
The time has finally come for Bear to earn his keep  ;D and do some real work in this world. Hehehe....we're off to a convalescent home to visit with some elderly folks. I'm nervous!! Michael is finishing grooming Bear and when we get back I'll share the news with you. I hope it goes well!  :)

We are back and things went great! Bear was soooooo good and earned so jerky afterwards.  ;) My heart is so happy too because Bear brightened so many peoples' day. One lady had not even been out of her room for 2 days but because a big fluffy dog was there to see her, she came out and was all smiles. She is the lady in the yellow sweater.  ;D

Here are some pics from our big day! Enjoy!

I get a lot of laughs and smiles from the posts on this board...but your post ...about the lady in the yellow sweater....... that choked me up and brought happy tears to my eyes.  Good job Bear....good job.   
I hope you'll continue to post pictures of these visits.   
It may inspire me to do similiar work when I'm able.  It looks like you had a wonderful visit.

Ohh he's soo cute and such a good boy.  I wish we could do that with Kali but she's weird around sick people.  But bear looks like he loves the attention.

YAY for Bear!  That's so awesome.  See?  Our Big Paws don't just bring smiles and joy to us everyday - they bring it to everyone!

Aw, I'm so happy for Bear!  We were thinking of doing this with Kate too (once she's a bit older, and pending she does well in obedience of course)!

Bless your hearts guys, you (and most of all Bear) made a difference in someone's life today!  ;)

The lady in yellow made me choke up too when the staff told me her situation too. Thanks for your support!
