Oh, I would love to! This discussion brings to mind when my 3 yr old granddaughter had cancer and was in the Phx Children's Hosp. It was always the ultimate highlight to the children patients when dogs would be brought in to visit. Taylor had two dogs at home who were like siblings and she missed them and her twin sister so much, so it was very special for her, as it was to to many other children. And, when she came home to heal, those dogs were always near her, usually snuggled up with her when she slept in the living room, her bedroom, wherever she was. They were her constant companions and support. Animals have such a calming and healing affect on patients. It is a beautiful thing! Thank you for suggesting to me to join this discussion. I am honored to partake. I hope it is okay, but I copied my posting above and will post it to the discussion, to start me out. Thanks again!
