Hello, again!" and underneath reads, "We've been working on something pretty cool behind the scenes..." There's a party horn blowing confetti in the lower right corner for fun.

Some personal highlights as we celebrate National Therapy Animal Day! 🐾 We're also on a journey towards certification through Pet Partners with Mozart, our 3-legged cat who loves to sing and be pet. 🎶 We just finished our Handlers Course towards evalution. You can hear Mozart purring and showing off in our stories today. 💜 If you're interested in learning more about becoming a therapy team with your pet, check out the quick quiz https://bit.ly/3nCERMX

Did we mention how much we REALLY love animals and their people?! We've held 4 community pet parades featuring therapy animals (and 1 virtual photo contest!) to draw out the positive impact animals have on our wellbeing. We're looking forward to hosting more of these when it's safe for us all to gather together again as a community.
