SS litter background information
So many people commented that the diary and photos of the SS litter comforted and cheered them during the hard times of the Covid pandemic, that I decided both her registered and call names needed to reflect how important our animals are to our health and well-being.
Hopeful is VERY busy being a therapy dog.

Check my therapy dog page frequently for new photos.
Hopeful is happiest when people can reach down to rub her tummy. That’s one reason she LOVES doing Reading Dog, since the kids sit on the floor and rub her tummy as they read to her. Here she is visiting one of the Green House Living residents who can actually lean down and rub her tummy. A friend, seeing these photos, told me, “A local vet has a sign out front of his practice, “Free belly rubs with each exam. Sorry, no humans.” Hopeful would love that place!
Hopeful has her AKC THDA (Therapy Dog Advanced) title, which requires 100 visits and is close to earning her THDX (Therapy Dog Excellent) title, which requires 200 visits.
