Nike Update

NikeHere is a photo of Nike on his third birthday, July 24.    Nike has become a real blessing for the residents of my wife, Norma’s, Long Term Care.  He is known as the unofficial therapy puppy for our Village.  Nike is now greeting residents at the adjoining Retirement Phase where we now live.   As Nike has only know the Village life, he feels that he owns the place and let’s all visitors know that he is here - gently of course.  Visiting children get to know Nike as my PeePee Poopy Puppy.  Nike has a special acquaintance with Thumper, a middle aged rabbit living here in our pet room.  They actually touch noses when they meet.

Congratulations on your new pups.

Ernie, Norma and Nike

Ernie, Norma & Nike,

I loved hearing of your special times @ your retirement home. I know the pets at my Dad's retirement home are well loved and the best part of tne day when they visit.
Some residents would swear my Laci was their dog. Where did I find her? I always let them cuddle and go w/ the flow and then we can sneak out!

There are 2 resident cats there. The chef used to bring his 2 dogs, but he's moved on, so are missed. Pets are a great asset in these homes.

How nice of you to share him. I wont ask how the kids arrived @ his nikname. 😀
