Last Sunday's Visit

Following each visitation, we follow up with a blog on the Pet Therapy in the Carolina's  website. This was today's (6/23/10) entry.


Astrid was really on her game last Sunday (6/20) at Pineville Living and Rehabilitation center. The reason for this was, if there is one thing Astrid likes better than visiting, it's visiting when there are other dogs there too. Pineville never disappoints! Karen and her greyhounds along with Ellie Mae made for a really fun visit.


Each venue has it's plus side, and we think the plus side to the Pineville center is that there are always so many people in the hallway to visit with as we make our way from room to room. It's hard to find places in the summer's heat to take Astrid out to for a little socialization. Roaming the cool hallways this past Sunday at Pineville was a good break for all three of us from just staying home.


This picture is from a previous week, when was taking a break outside a residents room at the Alzheimer's center, the Laurels. This particular building is home to individuals in various stages of the disease known as Alzheimer's. Each resident personalizes the entrance to their own room.
