Unspoken word!

Few words are needed when Cora visits someone in need of comforting.  Being a therapy dog means simply being there for that moment to ease fears, lessen anxiety or make eye contact with those that are searching for hope.  One can only guess what Cora's thoughts are during her visits, but it's clear by the smile and gentle touch on Cora's head what our friend is feeling.  Unspoken words, priceless!

Team work with Cora and Elle today at Mayo!

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 !

Wow time!

Cora had some great visits the past few weeks at Mayo.  We've started seeing some pediatric patients in Oncology and wow how the room lights up with a dog and and a young boy together.  These are fragile yet tough kids and Cora helps keep those little faces smiling!
