| Today, Cora worked so hard keeping patients and their families entertained and comforted that after her 2 hour visit, she simply laid down and took a well deserved nap. People often say, "Oh, she's there just to pet". But in reality, she is there in so many different realms. She's the entertainer, doing her little tricks. Need a tissue, just say "achoo" and she'll retrieve one for you. She's the comforter, sitting snugly against the legs of a patient awaiting treatment. She's also the healer, sharing her spirit and energy with anyone that reaches out to touch her. Heeling to heal is her motto. Close your eyes Cora, a well deserved "cat nap" is in order. |
Cora and I spent our last day volunteering at Mayo in June. We will miss our friends, but our journey will continue bringing smiles and comfort in Florida. I've been searching for our "niche" here and we will soon be back working as a therapy dog team. During the move I completed my Evaluator status with Pet Partners and am now studying for my Instructor license. Hope to have all that done in about 6 weeks. That way I can teach people how they can join this special force of animal healers! More to come soon!
