Year 2011 Message

 

What a big 22nd year it has been for Pets For Therapy, we’ve won awards and passed on others to new recipients.

We’ve gone into new venues that were once old venues we had visited in the past.

We have lost some treasured 4 legged Volunteers and welcomed new ones, including our 1st wheelchair bound Volunteer with his dog and caregivers.

We have welcomed our young teen volunteer and hasn’t she worked hard and we have continued to enjoy the support of one of our Volunteer families with three generations coming along together.

We have welcomed new senior members along with tiny puppies and our people have loved them and I say they are our people wherever we visit them, we bring them Love, Joy and Laughter, we are not ‘staff’ to them but friends. From the young with disabilities to the very old we mark each year with them from our hearts.

 

Personally we have all had our ups and downs, hospital admittances and concerns for family and friends [both 2 legged and 4 legged] but we are all troopers we carry on with spirit and a smile and I am grateful and proud of you all.

There have been many who have helped me behind the scenes and you know who you are,

So to you all,

 

I say Merry Christmas and a Great New Year bringing you Health and Happiness in 2012, the warmth of your family and friends and unstinting and unconditional love of your 4 legged family.

 

 

      Thank you, Yvonne and Misty
