I wish my love could have cured Miss D 💔

Sometimes just being there is enough.
It’s enough to listen.
It’s enough to touch.
It’s enough to be present.
It’s enough to let someone know that they are important, that they matter.
It’s enough to be a therapy dog visiting frens.
It’s enough.

I love being a therapy dog! I truly feel it is what I was born to do and that it joyfully gives me purpose.
🐶Geordi seems to love everything about being a therapy dog, except the car ride. He still gets anxious in the car. To the point that momma’s wondering if therapy dogging is a good fit for him.

Did you know that therapy dogs can burn out, just like humans?
🐕‍🦺Therapy dog visits can be very stressful for dogs, especially since dogs can sense tension and anxiety. If the person they are visiting grabs at them, or treats them roughly, that can be stressful too.
🐕‍🦺That’s why it’s important to let dogs be dogs and have sufficient time between therapy dog visits to decompress.
