This is part of the reason I'm getting a labradoodle from Tink. I needed a plan to keep busy since I won't have any kids around. I am going to train a therapy dog. Ever since my brother had a stroke 3 years ago and I watched the rehab center using therapy dogs, I knew that was what I would do someday. I will be a part of this group
www.therapet.org It's about an hour from where I live, but that's fine. Tink is picking a puppy for me, and Mike and I are driving to Wisconsin to pick it up. We needed something to look forward to, and this is doing the trick.
I'm excited to get a dog. Even if for some reason it can't become a therapy dog, I'll have a great pet. Mike's great dane is getting old...
