Doodle therapy in the Nursing Home - Page 2

LOL- I can picture it now... shawl streaming, a huge smile on her face.. way to go Seamus! My mum used to do the night shift at a nursing home and she'd take Gab along with her nearly every night. The old folks loved petting her and talking with her. Dog therapy work in nursing home and with handicapped people is such a good and positive thing to do

. Keep up the great work!

ps.. if you have any pre-therapy training tips for my eight month old wonder doodle, I'd love to hear them! He's way to excited to meet new people to be safe in a nursing home right now!

Sitting here smiling at the visual image..

Ithought you were going to say he was sitting in her lap..

That is something I had on planned on doing with my next dog, before I got Sadie. We have a ways to go before she is ready for that but I would love to be able to do it with her.

It is incredible the joy that our doodles bring to us and to everyone they meet. There are so many great stories to relate. We wanted to let you know that Bocker has started a national group called Bocker's Buddies. Bocker's Buddies is a national organization of doodles doing good for those in need of a smile.
