Happy Canada Day everyone!

The power of our canine companions: Just recently we were reminded again of the amazing power and abilities that dogs have to enrich lives. On Monday sweet Simmer, one of Ashley’s lovely shelties, pictured below, went on a visit, with the hope of providing some relief and comfort to a gentleman in care. The family had noticed that their family member appeared to be regressing to childhood to some degree, and that he was speaking frequently of his beloved childhood red shelt...ie/collie. Due to COVID-19 restrictions the family was not able to visit in person, and could only conduct window visits. However, they were hopeful that perhaps being able to see a red dog, similar to his own childhood companion, could bring some joy and happiness. A plan was hatched to borrow Simmer, whose exceptional sweet nature and looks made her the perfect stand-in. The family even came up with a further plan to leave a sheltie plush animal following the conclusion of the visit so that he would always have a companion. How did the visit go? Well, I think we’ll let the pictures (kindly provided by the family) tell the rest of this story If all goes well and restrictions are lifted the hope/plan is to bring Simmer for a further, in person visit. I’m sure the family would not mind any thoughts, healing wishes, or prayers you may be inclined to send their way.
