However, being a member of a therapy dog team, myself and my gorgeous chocolate lab Mia, I know how much time and energy it takes to properly care for an animal. I can not begin to imagine the time and resources it would take to see to the needs of numerous animals in addition to the needs of the facility residents.<br />We all have opinions on how the world would function better. In the mean time people need to blog less, get up, burn a few calories and VOLUNTEER their time. <br />I witness the joy, love, exuberance, expectation of the residents twice a week during our visits.Interfaith Chaplaincy Discussion and Informationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02279166772150905110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-16532796731823378282011-01-26T11:53:24.034-08:002011-01-26T11:53:24.034-08:00This is all good and fine but what I really want t...This is all good and fine but what I really want to see are nursing home that will let you bring your companion animal with you. It is not that difficult is is being done is drug rehab facilities currently! So why don't we give our delightful seniors a chance to keep their family members with them instead of shoving they away in a facility to wait for death?Budrow Wilson Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04698130464948868670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-30078457406512969312011-01-25T17:27:42.548-08:002011-01-25T17:27:42.548-08:00thanks for this informative and important post.

My father-in-law who passed this past Nov resided in a Nursing Home that had a resident cat and dog.<br /><br />Even those with Altzheimer's (as he had) can take comfort from these wonderful furry creatures who just stroll by for a pet on their head or back or lay by their feet.<br /><br />The smiles on the residents' faces is priceless!Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.com
