Outside Fun at Mayo!

 What a beautiful day at Mayo Hospital.  Cora and I arrived to find several inpatients sitting outside on the patio grabbing some of the sun's rays.  Even with all the distractions of traffic, people and birds chirping, Cora entertained the crowds.  She instinctively picks out people one by one, offering her side to pet or doing her "bottoms up"for her favorite visitors.  Today we visited with a man who was hooked up to several machines, but he smiled and told stories of his 2 dogs at home.  He trained dogs and recognized Cora's talents as very special.  I'm so thankful to be able to share Cora with so many people.  Her work as a therapy dog brings as much joy to me as it does to so many others.  I'm blessed to be on the other end of the leash!

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 !

Trick or Treat!

Cora says "GRRRR, Happy Halloween Maties! I love being a pirate!
