All of my dogs are special but Ziggy has a gift of being able to dole out love to every stranger he sees. At least a few times a week I take Ziggy to local nursing homes to visit with a group I created called Pet Pals. I was inspired to do the work to organize a group like this because of Ziggy's special personality and because there was a great need for it here in our community. In the picture above are some of the "regular" visitors - from left to right Champ, Diva, Ziggy, Pepe' and Daisy. Our group makes over 100 visits each year and bring smiles to the faces of many who indeed live sad lives.
Currently overcoming addiction to the sport of triathlon. I spend my free time taking my favorite dog to visit at nursing homes and training others and their dogs to do the same. I like to be involved in the community where I live. I am also part of a team organizing an 8K (5 mile) race for our local hospital. Producing a race is a lot more work than I ever realized!
