Last Friday Birdie and I visited some folks at the Bayside Golden Living Center, and were lucky enough to receive & give lots of affection! Birdie is a 12 year old Japanese Spitz, who was quite excited to get out of the shelter for a change of scenery. She is just the perfect size for an apartment or small home! And what a great dog! We visited about 25 people, most in wheelchairs or with walkers. Birdie waited patiently for all of the folks at Bayside to give her a good scratching and didn't jump up on anyone. Even though she is not the youngest dog on the block, everyone told her how cute she was! She was so excited that some of the people called her a "puppy" (much like we are if someone cards us!), and wagged her tail the entire time.
If you would like to visit Bayside, we go every third Friday of the month at 11am. It is a very rewarding experience for people and dogs!
