@colleenyoung Our dog used to be a caring canine at Mayo Jax. While I was going through breast cancer treatment there, my husband trained Molly and she passed the testing with flying colors. After my treatment was done other than scheduled check ups, he enrolled Molly in the Caring Canine program and they went just twice a month because we do live 1 1/2 hrs. away. To be honest, we got lax and didn’t make her “follow the rules” when we were at home in our local neighborhood park with her doggy friends both human and canine. She flunked the test when she had to retest I think 2 years later...can’t really remember. As my cancer was returning, this took a backseat to other priorities. One day during her scheduled hour (and that was Mayo’s limit) we counted Molly’s business cards before starting. John handed out 83 business cards in maybe an hr and 10 minutes (because he was standing in the hall waiting for me to get a prescription filled). She loved it but she was totally worn out when her hour was finished. That is a wonderful program.

@cwm1, so nice to e-meet, Molly. She must bring joy to you and so many. Thank you for sharing her.
Besides canine care, how have you taken care of your emotional health? Who supports you in taking care of your emotional health?

Love this . I have a west highland and my trainer rued skiing me into doing this because of his outgoing personality . I wished I would of followed through with this but now he is 4 and it is too late.
Thank you for the slide show I enjoyed
