I saw a programme once all about how the elderly respond very well to having an animal to pet, and I can see how theraputic that would be. My own pet is an angry bengal cat who likes to bite if we don't feed him quickly enough…so it wasn't something that sprang to mind. But you've really hit on something. What good work it is you do, to spread a little pug-joy! Thanks very much for that idea, I'll suggest it.<br />Ruth xRuth Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553156219467270247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426351607910062855.post-87908801093400743302012-05-23T00:06:09.300-07:002012-05-23T00:06:09.300-07:00Hi

One of my Pugs is a Pets as Therapy dog and we go to an old peoples home, even the patients with dementia or those that have had strokes have a strong reaction to him. Being able to stroke a dog or cat may just trigger something in her. Pets as Therapy have volunteers all over the country and go into hospitals, hospices, schools, anywhere that they think people would benefit from a visiting dog or cat. Hope this helps.<br />Jo xxHesta Nestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260523918707092137noreply@blogger.com
