| Pascal and I at the Hudson Hospital |
| Pascal was a Therapy Dogs International Certified Therapy Dog. We visited the Hudson Hospital in Hudson, WI together a few times a month to visit the patients. Pascal really enjoyed the attention, and he really seems to make people feel better. With the death of Pascal, I do not know when I will get into Pet Therapy again. This was a special thing that Pascal and I did together, and it is too hard right now to contemplate training another dog for therapy. Update: Jeressa passed her Canine Good Citizen Test on 06-18-11, so I am looking into getting her started in a Therapy Dog Preparatory Class. I think she would love being a therapy dog. With some hope and luck, we will be doing Pet Therapy again soon! 2nd Update: Jeressa passed her Therapy Dog Internation Test on 11-19-11, so once her paperwork is back, we will be starting to do therapy visits once again! |
