2025 Therapy Dog News

Due to all the HIPPA privacy rules, I only get photos of therapy dog visits occasionally.  It is totally accidental who appears on this page.

January – May

2/9/26:  Lovely and I on a therapy dog visit to Westview Healthcare Center during Valentine’s Day week.  As I was logging in, one of the staff members came up and exclaimed about how cute Lovely’s heart was and that she HAD to take photos.  I laughed when I saw this one that she took because Lovely is clearly saying, “OK, let’s start visiting!”  She is SUCH a tease, and this photo shows it.

4/8/26:  April is Volunteer Month.  The VA activity director took a photo of Hopeful and me visiting one of our favorite veterans.

4/12/26:  Lovely and Hopeful earned their Therapy Dog Excellent (THDX) title, which requires 200 visits.  That award includes a nice medal.  When it came, I took photos of both girls wearing their medals.

Lovely was not pleased about being asked to pose for a photo after her ball session, and it shows in her photos.

Hopeful was more willing to cooperate.

Justice earned his Therapy Dog Advanced title, and Pascha earned her Therapy Dog title (50 visits).  They just get certificates for those so I didn’t take photos.
