My usual visit with my dog to a local nursing home. I did this on Thanksgiving too. So many elderly people in homes miss being able to have a pet and just love stroking my little guy and telling him about what is on their mind. He is a good listener. Also, since we do visit this place on holidays, he recognizes folks and makes them feel extra- special with his wiggles of familiarity. Sometimes it is hard because we arrive and there have been residents that have passed away. But I have the memories of the stories about their dogs or cats that they told me while enjoying my frog Dog. I don't care at all that many of the stories are repeated- it is just nice to feel like these folks have a chance to interact with a pet for a bit and "brag on" their fur babies from the past. I love it that my dog is a calm and quiet little guy and social. He brings an awful lot of joy to me too.
