nursing home pics

Here are some pictures from one of the nursing homes we went to last week. one of the volunteers took these pictures because stupid me forgot my camera....

 

Wow -


After just placing my step father in a home, it is truely a wonderful thing to see the light in these folks eyes when they see a magnificent animal....it is hard to see these folks on a regular basis as you watch that fire in their eyes dying out.

Great job...god bless you and your wonderful pup!!!!!!

 

where is your stepdad? patch o pits visits in southern nj , maybe if she knew what home your stepdad was in she or some other members could bring their pitbulls that do therapy to visit....

they get so excited when the dogs come in.. most of them dont get any visitors, which is doubly sad.

ps- you could also bring your own dogs.... one of the residents at this home has her daughter bring her 3 goldens... and they are not certified..

 

MaryEllen, would you like to do me & my dogs a favor? Could you please send these pictures to www.WAFB.com ? If the new law passes, my dog Sukari & countless other certified therapy dogs that just so happen to be "pit bulls" will no longer be allowed to continue in this line of work. We are currently bombarding all the new stations (www.WBRZ.com) with pictures right now.

 

sure where do i find their email? i am on the site now, and cant find an email to use..

 

which one of these do i email?

Your work is much appreciated, and benefits the breed everytime you go out of your way to show the breed in it's actual light. If I've ever seen a thread that deserves 5 stars, this is among the top.

 

Great post, great positive image. I enjoy all of the pictures that you show of old rufus at work. Thanks.

 

Great pics! I love them!!


Mia - Thank You for bringing that up. I am thankful that you are bombarding them too!

 

Kuddo's!!!

I think that old man in the striped shirt wearing the blue ball cap,would have been alright with you leaving that dog with him...LOL

 

not to steal this thread or nothin but if u want to email sumthin check this video out (if u havent seen it) and maybe send it..beginning is tough to watch but end is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwI_qlq5vHs

 

I dont think it's productive to produce videos like that ....least the first half anyways.

 

its not my video i was surfing through youtube and found it. but maryellen that is a great dog you have there glad to see that she not only brings joy to you but to many other people too. Btw how did u get her certified for that?
Also check this site out http://www.lawdogsusa.org/whypitbulls1.html

 

You truley are wonderful for these visits you do. Not just for us as lovers of the APBT, but also for seniors who are in desperate need of love and attention. Be blessed in every thing you do.

 

thank you everyone.. rufus loves to visit..
i did a year and a half of obedience with him 3 nights a week plus saturdays straight for the entire time,as my dog trainer said he would be a good therapy dog since he was so calm.. after training we took the cgc test, then the therapy test, and passed and started 3 years ago working in hospitals and nursing homes.

 

ME, all of them? LOL. Here ya go:

That is absolutly awsome. My Grandma spent the last few years of her life in a Nursing Home and seeing these people so happy is uplifting. Thank you for doing that! My daughter is 7lbs 5oz by the way. The thread on her was closed so sorry for talking about my child instead of my dog for once. Kinda pisses me off but fuck it. You cant make everyone happy...YIS, D.

 

Congrats...I take phantom to nursing homes and he's not certified...Yet...but they love him.

 

Mia, where is the actual link to the story?? i want to put that in my email..

 

ok, i emailed to mostly everyone on the list...
