With everything going on, we Al,ost forgot to share Addison’s news. Addi just earned her new therapy dog title, THDX. This one is awarded when a therapy dog has completed 200 therapy visits. Addi has become a favorite at many of the locations we visit, and we hope to continue doing therapy visits in the upcoming years. My little collie is proving that there isn’t anything she can’t do! I can’t wait to try Barnhunt with her, and hopefully herding as well.
Good girl Addi, good girl!
Ode to a Therapy dog
Therapy dog, with eyes so kind,
Bringing comfort to heart and mind.
With gentle paws and wagging tail,
a healing spirit without fail.
You listen without judgement or scorn,
Giving solace as we heal or mourn.
In times of need,
You are always near,
Dispelling sadness and erasing fear.
You offer a touch of warmth and light,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
Therapy dog, our loyal friend,
Thank you for the love without end.

Way to go, Addi! We're pretty sure than anyone who meets you falls in love with you. Love the therapy dog poem!
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations for that award. Long may you both carry on providing such an important and rewarding activity to those who need it, and maybe those that don't realise that they do but gain so much when they experience a visit.

Congrats to Addi and you for all your therapy visits. She couldn't do it without you.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Congratulations Addi!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Congratulations, Addi! I know everyone you visit must surely appreciate it ― Dada really enjoyed his visit from therapy dog Maisie Grace while he was in the hospital!"
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! Big congratulations sweetie and no doubt well deserved. A few years ago when I was in the hospital I had my first therapy dog visit, it was such a joyful experience and brightened my day.
