Greetings to you all once again. I’m happy to report that I’ve had the opportunity to visit more people in October. It makes me very happy to be with the handlers saying hello to people.
I continue to be at church for Sunday morning worship. As more people are beginning to attend church, I get more petting afterward. Thanks to Maree and Bill for making this possible.
I’m pleased to report that I had five different visits during October. First, there was a community event sponsored by the Glendale Heights Police Department called “Tuesday Night Out.” I was there with four other comfort dogs. We had a special area to sit. My handlers worked hard to keep me healthy. All people, kids and adults, had to have their hands sanitized before petting and were wearing masks. It all worked out very well.
Then I continued to meet with a family in Libertyville. I have really enjoyed getting to know these two folks! The visit takes place either on their lovely outside patio or courtyard. Once it even took place in the garage with the garage door open since the bees were overwhelming for all! This couple has been experiencing some rather difficult health concerns, as well as care-taking stress. My visits have been relaxing and comforting for both. The gentleman loves to pet me and also sings to me! His wife welcomes the company of both me and my handlers. Good conversations, encouragement, and prayer have been shared. We are all happy to have made new friends with whom to share God’s love and grace.
We are blessed to have the opportunity to visit with all these people. We pray that the pandemic will be coming to an end in the near future. The Lord be praised.
Be in touch. Peace!
