Hey Stacy,
I just read your efforts in getting a "meet up" set at a local nursing home.....I have to say, that you are quite the special person. I wish that I were closer and I would come....even though I don't have a yorkie yet! A trip 2-3 hours is nothing....of course......I travel all the time with my job.....and I would just hop in my car and come and see everyone. Plus, I love "older" people.....always have......
When I was a little girl, I used to walk two streets down and go sit on the front porch of this elderly man that had lost his wife.....I was about 10, and we would just sit on his front porch and talk......and he would give me those pink nasty mints.....you know which one...they smell like pepto bismol.......of course, things are quite a lot different.....but, I still love to visit with older friends....that are sometimes lonely and forgotten...
You are such a sensitive caring person.....and to all that attend this event......it will be very rewarding to you and your little yorkie.
I hope you get a bunch of interest.
