Abbie had her second weekly therapy dog visit today at a local nursing home. The first time she probably saw close to 30 residents. Today is was closer to 20 or so. Still a lot. The first time she was good through most of it. Toward the end (2 hours) she was beginning to stress out. Today we were still there 2 hours but with fewer residents so it was easier for her. If anyone is interested in doing this, I'll tell you it's very rewarding to the residents, staff, me and even Abbie seems to enjoy it for the most part. We're still learning the ropes but I'm very glad we got involved in this.
