Giving Back Feels Good







Sunday's visitation to the Alzheimer's Center was a lot of fun. This is a beautiful center that reminds one of a luxury hotel. It consists of two buildings, with one being a locked door center requiring a code to enter and leave each wing.





So many of the residents share stories of their own pets while enjoying Astrid's visit. Astrid was showing off her repetoire of tricks and one lady remarked 'girls don't shake hands, they give wet sloppy kisses'. She then leaned forward for a few smoochies from Astrid who, when invited, will give little gentle kisses. Another lady would have liked Astrid to sit in her lap which, of course she couldn't due to size and safety.






Many of us want to 'give back' something to the world. Therapy Pet work is a wonderful way!
