Please excuse me while I indulge myself for a minute as a proud "pet mama" and share this latest pet therapy news.

Recently I was interviewed about the pet therapy volunteer work Sandy and I did at Mercy Hospital by Julie Minda, Associate Editor of Catholic Health World, for an article she was writing on the growing use of pet therapy in hospitals across the country. The article is available now and it has some great anecdotes from various pet therapy volunteers, including my comments about Sandy's work. If you're interested you can read the article online at Catholic Health World.

I wrote a tribute to Sandy in an earlier blog which you can find by scrolling down in this blog or by clicking here. And if you'd like to read more about upcoming pet therapy tests for Samantha et al, then please see the Dog Days page on our personal website. Enjoy!
