Dear Golden Meadows Folks,
We got Jasmine from you a year ago this week, and wanted to let you she is doing
well. I think the last time I contacted you she was going to take the American
Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen Test. She passed that and she and I got a
complex rating (nearly perfect) a month or so later on the Pet Partner’s Therapy
Animal Evaluation.
She is now a Registered Pet Therapy partner with me and we have been going to
two nursing homes for a month now where she visits with hospice patients, as
well as other patients and staff at the facilities. She is in training to
become certified as my crisis response teammate with National Crisis Response
Canines. She is already officially accepted by Extra Mile Crisis Response as one
of their K-9s. We will be going in a few weeks to Parents of Murdered Children
for Extra Mile.
She will be going to Vacation Bible School this next week to greet children.
Last spring we went to several Lutheran Elementary Schools around Kansas to
introduce them to her an our comfort dog ministry. We have also gone to the
public library for kids to read to her. So Jasmine is a true professional now.
Just thought you would like to know.
She says WOOF!
Carolyn
