The holidays are usually spent with loved ones by our side. Sometimes those we visit are not fortunate enough to have their loved ones nearby for a variety of reasons. Therapy dog visits during the holidays can be a bright spot in someone’s life. If you’re looking for a unique visit this holiday season, check out our recent blog post on 7 places you can visit during the holidays:

Maybe if people's heads weren't buried in the sand of ignorance and they took the time to understand, instead of judging and thinking it won't happen to them because they have the perfect family, life would be a little bit easier for people that do experience this! For family and friends who live under this shadow. The days of 'it' not being talked about or being taboo should be over. In the most difficult moments of life you realize who your true friends are, and the people who really appreciate you. Unfortunately, most social media 'friends' aren't true friends. They will send you a "like" here and there, but in reality they do not take time to read your status if they see it's lengthy. More than half will stop reading right here, or have already scrolled on to the next post on their page. I decided to post this message in support of all those who continue to battle with their mental illness. (Su***de is at an all time high). Now, let's see who will have taken the time to read this lengthy post right through to the end. If you have read everything so far, please "like" it so that I can put a thank you on your page. More mental health awareness is urgently needed. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean people aren't suffering. Please, try to spare a little of your time with someone who may just want to talk (about anything). Talking can help us all to cope a little more, keeping things bottled up just makes it worse. Most people will say, "if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, I'll be there to help you" but will they? I believe a select few of my friends will post this, to show their support for those who may be struggling. You just have to copy and paste rather than sharing. I'd like to know who will take a minute out of their day to read this all the way to the end and then copy and paste it to their page, will you? If so, please write "done" in the comments. Thank you!

Great job

Feel Good Friday!

"This was a visit to our local library for a program called “Read to a Dog”. Benny was greeted by a little girl who was nervous to sit down next to him. I invited her over, thinking she was possibly scared of his size, but welcomed her to sit with him and pet him until she felt comfortable. She snuggled right up to him and he took to her quickly. She sat there for a while, and I glanced at her mom to let her know she could get started with reading to him. Her mom whispered in my ear that her daughter had a stutter and was scared to read out loud, much less in front of a large group of people. I told her that Benny is a great listener and he’s excited to hear her read her book. She spent the next 10 mins reading to Benny and showing him pictures of Pete the Cat. It was definitely a memorable visit for us both!"
