Commitment of a Therapy Dog

Arizona is brutal when temps climb to 110 degrees.  But Cora is fashionably dressed in her cooling collar and protective socks on her paws. The picture below is why we make the effort, even in our own discomfort with weather. Therapy dogs bring a "breeze of comfort" to our friends in treatment at Mayo.  Cancer doesn't take a summer vacation.  Being a Caring Canine is a commitment regardless of the weather.

A furry Blessing!

Today at Mayo the spouse of a patient commented "What a God send you have been for Me "! T he past few week s Cora has been a source of light for her in a dark time . Re flecting back on that makes me realize even more the need and benefits that therapy animals bring to everyone that they encounter.  Often times the caregivers hold a lot of emotion and turmoil inside of themselves, watching their loved ones fig ht this disease.  Cora has been there for them , providing a few mo ments of relief by helping to ease the stress.   It's good to hear the laughter and see the smiles that surface when we arrive.  Cora senses their need for calm and as you can see in the picture above, gives a reassuring touch .  What a Bles sing !
