We went on our first pet therapy visit on Saturday with Karen Ferguson. The dogs, my husband, and I all had a wonderful time. There weren't many people there but that was perfect for a first-time visit. We will be doing more visits and hopefully getting certified (both dogs and us!) and then starting a group up our way. We live in Cornelius @ Lake Norman so want to do visits in this area. Anyone interested in joining us? Don't know when we'll start. I want to get an idea of interest first ... I also think we'll only use large dogs (as Karen does), preferably greys, but other breeds (if calm) would be welcome.

Of course the dogs loved it -- after all, they got to ride in the car and go somewhere and be petted! What more is there? (maybe a nice, meaty bone ...)
